For Whit's Birthday

Last year was probably one of the worst birthdays for Whit. We had just come home from our Make-A-Wish, Jonas was sick and we knew this was the end, Hospice was the topic of conversation, no presents or anything special for his day. He probably got Top Ramen for his dinner.

Because of the kind of guy Whit is he could have cared less about his birthday. 

Other things were much more important.

A year later, maybe I can make it up to him. So I thought I would share all his amazing beard and mustache pictures. He's so proud of them! I greatly prefer a non-bearded Whit, but let him go through his phases. So hopefully this will make you laugh and I'm sure it will inspire Whit to grow one again.

 He likes to slowly shave it away

 and is so not embarrassed to go out in public

we also remember the hair of Spring 2009: June 2009 shortly before being cut

 slowly..

slowly... gone.

But I haven't even taken a picture of Whit since it's been gone. What have we been doing!

Whit we love you! Hopefully this put a smile on your face and you won't think of growing a beard until the usual time...next fall?! 

Happy Birthday!!
