The Beard

Spencer has always had a great beard. It is nice and thick. And, my favorite (maybe?), it's red. I have always thought it's great and have been an advocate of his growing it out. He did "No Shave November" once (twice) in school and it was fun. Once he can get past the initial itchy stage, it's all good. This most recent beard began last November — the week of Thanksgiving. Chris (and probably Jane) would not recognize Spencer without his beard!

Occasionally Spencer will say something about shaving. The kids and I regularly vote him down. 


We found this picture with Spencer of the  first week he did not shave. That was taken November 2013. There were trims between these pictures, so this is not all the growth he had. 

When it was this long Spencer said he had random people stopping him to compliment him on how nice it looked. And it did. He still oils it every day. Spencer has since found a length he feels is more suited to him. It looks really great.
