A Tale of Baldness

No deep posting today; this is just to keep some dear folk up on our antics in January, since they're feeling out of the loop. I disabled my Facebook account at the beginning of the year.  Y'all are missing my photos, I know, so here we go.

On January 1, Big Doings were happening at our house. While I was disabling my Facebook account, Husband was shaving all his hair off. 

"Why???" you ask. Because I was spending too much time on Facebook.  OH! You mean Why did Husband go bald???  Well, he'd always wanted to see what his head looked like bald, and Age was not obliging him in ridding him of his hair.

We chronicled pretty much every step of the shaving-off process, but I won't force you to endure those photos. It's much more fun to see how the family reacted.

Daughter #1 thought it was a hoot when her dad showed up just before church time to surprise her with his new 'do.

Her daughter wasn't so sure, though.  In fact, that evening she asked her mom and dad, "Who was that man?"  She didn't connect the bald guy with Grandpa!

Granddaughter #3 wasn't phased at all.  Here she is, hanging out with me while Grandpa was trying to get her older sister to warm up to him.

Then we went by Daughter #2's place. She thought it was amusing to rub her dad's balded head.

Granddaughter #1 was not amused, and resisted all suggestions that she feel Grandpa's bald pate. Grandson #2 was happy to hug and hold and pat Grandpa on the head all we wanted. He's a lovey little kiddo.

Once we'd had a picnic together in the park, Grandson #1 and Granddaughter #1 were getting used to Grandpa's new look.

Before we left to go our separate ways, Granddaughter #1 finally was willing to rub that bald head (good luck, right?).  Note her mom photo-bombing the picture!

Ah, there's our sweet Daughter #2 looking gorgeous as she poses with her pops!

And we'll end with a a photo of her sweet kids posing happily as if they hadn't been fighting and tattle-taling on each other just 30 seconds before I snapped the photo.
