Could it be - the end of the Hair Saga?

Jude has been in an experimental phase for the last couple of years, growing his hair out and doing strange things with his beard. It's not a secret that this has not been a fun time! But after years of helpful suggestions, nagging, and complaints, I finally gave up. I figured marriage is forever, in sickness and in health, richer or poorer, with good hair and bad, etc, etc.

This is us on our wedding day, nearly six years ago. Wasn't he adorable?

But after Niall was born this experimental phase started. This picture was taken in January, I like to think of this look as sort of a motorcycle-Chachi.

As if things weren't bad enough, in February he decided to shave the beard into sort of a General Custer look. Amusing only in retrospect!

After all this I was just so happy when he finally shaved!

But then one Friday night he said he wanted to go get a haircut. By this point I was beyond hope, so I didn't even ask him until we got to the salon what he was going to get. When he said he wanted it quite short I didn't even believe him at first! Here he is with his new haircut and the Trilobite bread he baked for a party we were going to.

And he looks so innocent! You would never guess what he's been putting me through for the last couple of years. So even if this too is just a phase, I'm enjoying it while it lasts!
