To the rest of the world, spring is marked by budding trees, warming weather, and longer days. However, the McClish household prides itself in the untraditional. Therefore, each spring as other husbands trim their lawns, mine works on another type of landscaping......on his face. I have come to call it the annual Beard Transition Day. It is the one day Andrew takes his beard to a new and often scary place. Once he receives a reaction from his co-workers and our church Home Group, he is contented with shaving until November when he will re-grow his beard to begin the cycle once again. Each year he chooses a different "style" as doing the same shave each year would prove boring and predictable. He wears it with pride causing poor innocent bystanders (new people at small group, grocery store clerks, etc..) to question the seriousness of it all, and finds it particularly funny if they think he seriously chose the look for his face. Below are the pictures from the 2009 Transition Day. Here he chose to go with the "Pedismile" as it has come to be know because...well...I will let the pictures speak for themselves: 
For the 2010 "Transition Day" there was much more mixed interpretation of the "look". Some suggestions were: Leprechaun, Civil War Soldier, and Elvis.
The picture quality is not so great, but I hope you are still able to appreciate the "chops"....it makes me laugh anyway.
Have a great day!
