Well Mike is back at work and I am adjusting to being home with the ladies by myself. But I am also adjusting to something else.
For those of you that look at my husband and see this baby faced man - allow me to enlighten you. Whenever we go on vacation, he goes on strike from shaving. (that’s what happens when you work in a job where you have to be clean cut and shave every single day…) Usually he comes away looking like a ragged version of George Michael from the early 90’s. (who by the way - I was in love with.) But after 4 weeks of “letting himself go” my little Michael turned into my very own Grizzly Adams. Check him out…
Daddy and Finley
Sunday night we held a moment of silence for the hair that would soon be gone - and then it was an hour long process to de-beard himself.
Farewell Grizzly Adams
And when he came down from the bathroom with a face as smooth as Finley’s bum - I kind of got a little sad. It was like our little baby bubble that we had been living in was about to burst. Already a month of Finley’s life has gone by and it was the eve of being on my own. Gulp. As Mike said in his previous post, it is a little unusual for the dad to stay home for as long as he has…but I am so glad he was able to. What a special, precious time we have had as a family. Mike has been so helpful and supportive and I will miss him being here 24-7. I will also miss seeing that face full of hair - but it is nice to have my baby faced fella back.

Mike looks great with a beard!
My hubby grows one every winter too, and even though it makes him look “manly” and actually “older”, I still like the clean shaven baby face myself
The pic of Daddy & Finley is adorable!
Mike, good to see you back on the tube.
Jen, I await your smiley-face to be back as well.
Take care~

Thats a beautiful picture of Mike and Finley.
My husband does the occasional beard and I dont mind a change.Ive actually grown quite fond of it.
Either way I think you’ve got a great family and am sending all my best wishes your way.

I saw the three of you at Festival late one night and didn’t even realize who you were until after I had drooled all over the baby. Mike had a beard and you looked like a new mom, not the glamorous morning lady I was used to. But you were both very nice and never flinched when I asked to see your baby.
She is beautiful!
