A clean shave

My dad has, as long as I can remember, had facial hair. Since my mom is in Africa and not here to protest, he decided to shave it all off! He showed up at the house today and scared Avery half to death. It was so sad!! She went out to greet him and ran away. She never once would look at him and cried that she wanted to go to her room. It was so bizarre as Grandpa is probably her favorite person in the world. Riley had no reaction and snuggled up to his soft face without a tear in sight.
Grandpa is supposed to baby sit next Sunday so hopefully Avery will adjust by then. :)

What do you think, Mom??

Dad has shaved it off before. :) I remember when there was a hide and seek for the youth group at the airport where the kids had to find the adults who were dressed up as someone else. No one could find Dad anywhere, until everyone got back together at the end. He walked up all happy with no more beard, and everyone couldn't stop stammering. :)
