Beard. Gone.

Isaac has been saying those words over the past few days. Dave participated in No Shave November at the school he teaches at. He surprised himself, his family, and me by growing this:

The students at his school said he was more intimidating with the beard. I told him from day one that I reserved the right to make jokes about his beard every step of the way. But as it started to grow, I quickly decided that I liked it. I'm even going to say it was a little sexy! Maybe it would have been even sexier if he'd shaved the neck-beard portion. Isaac loved his beard, except that he wondered why Dad suddenly grew a beard, but mom didn't.
Here is a photo from Dec. 1, when he got rid of the beard. He does look younger without the beard, I think.

Isaac is looking upset in this one because he wants to know where his dad's beard has gone.
