About 3 pounds of hair gone

I set out to lose a certain amount of weight before cutting my beard, and then I decided that it would be when I finished a certain task and then it just had to wait until Jen and Ben arrived. Well Jen and Ben are here, so it was time. After growing out my beard for real starting in September I have trimmed it down to just a slight dusting instead of the full on homeless beggar beard. It feels good and a lot sad to see it go but it was time. What do you think?

after - henry

Like I said there isn't much change on Henry. His hair is still wild and hip just slightly shorter and more spiky. He is the envy of the Alberta arts district and practically runs Mississippi Avenue. He gets free PBR where ever we go. Ok enough of the hipster jokes that are way too geographically specific to even be funny to anyone but me. Henry is cute and his hair is all kinds of awesome, that's really what I'm trying to say here.

after- finn

Not only did he get a haircut but he also aged 4 years. He is now 7. After he was finished shaking the hair and taking his shirt off he ran into the house to check himself out in the mirror. He ran back out and said "Now I look like Liam!" Liam is the kid at the end of the block and pretty much the coolest kid as far as Finn is concerned. Looking like Liam meant mommy did a great job on the haircut.

3 boys on the floor

Here are the boys pre-haircuts. They were getting a little shaggy in front and as I have written before Finn gets a little teenager angst when his bangs are too long. Henry is just a dirty hipster no matter how you cut his hair so his haircut was more from proximity then necessity. Ian didn't get a haircut but he is so freakin cute that he had to be in the photo too. The kid has his picture taking face down.

The Blond one got a haircut

Finn got his haircut yesterday and he went from emo punk kid to boy next door. The difference in his look and demeanor is noticeable. With his long bangs he would get this defiant look that was brooding and frankly a little irritating. We didn't really fully notice it until it was gone with bangs that highlighted it. Now with his short hair he just doesn't have the same weight behind his pouts. I really liked his moppy hair but I like this attitude better.

Finny got his hair did too

His locks are trimmed and he looks like a much older baby now.

Kate got her hair did
