Ode to a mustache

My mom tells the story of how freaked out I was when my dad (who always wore a mustache when I was little) shaved his facial hair off. I believe I started crying because I didn't recognize him! I wouldn't recognize him with facial hair now, but back then it was his look!

Aaron has only shaved his facial hair off a handful of times since I've known him. He didn't always have a mustache and goatee, but I happen to think he looks really good with both. Well, he decided to shave most of it off the other night and surprised me while I was cooking dinner. I wasn't sure how Liam would react when he first saw him, so we kind of kept Aaron at a distance at first. Liam looked at him like normal, looked away, and then looked back really fast with this confused look on his face! He said "why did he take that off?" He couldn't quite figure out what exactly was different, or was so surprised that he couldn't think of the word "mustache"! It was pretty cute. He was pretty hesitant to go near Aaron for most of the night, and actually tiptoed around him in the kitchen to get a drink of milk! Aaron ran an errand to the store later on that night, and when he got back Liam said, "Did his hair grow back?" :)

And our sweet little guy! He's getting so big already, and so cute!
