Preschool Artwork Cont. and a Surprise for LWeff
After posting about Bryan's recently rediscovered preschool artwork, my parents surprised me with a nearly identical apron that I had made for my mom:
I easily forget that Bryan and I attended the same preschool, except he was AM and I was PM, or vice versa. : ) Destiny works in interesting ways.
At any rate, I was super excited to see my version of the apron! I tend to like Bryan's rendition of himself better than mine of myself, seeing as I gave myself earmuffs for hair, a pig's nose, and fried eggs for eyes. Not to mention, I gave myself no arms, frog feet, and very round, red cheeks. (Am I being to critical of my pre-school self?) : )
The eyes remind me of a Garfield cartoon that my sisters and I watched about a bazillion times, where in the very, very end, Garfield throws a plate of food at Jon and the eggs land on his eyes, the bacon on his mouth and the plate on his head. That's good stuff, right there. I love that cartoon. : ) (I think we watched that part about 20 times each time we watched that tape.)
Speaking of family, my "little brother" John and his wife Jennie are expecting and I recently received such a cute picture of them via email from the SO EXCITED Grandma-to-be, Lynne (aka LWeff):
They are too cute. They are expecting a boy and have decided to name him Dylan. I can't wait to meet him, but I don't think anyone is as excited as LWeff! When is Jennie's due date, Lynne?
LWeff is easily one of my biggest commenters. She always has interesting insight and additional stories to share. (Check the comments of each post, and you'll see what I mean.) Thanks, LWeff. : )
And thanks to all of my other commenters. It is very nice to hear from each of you and I value your thoughts and opinions. : )
Quickly before I go, here's an update on the sick-o-head, Isaac: we kept him home on Monday and took him to the doctor. We were lucky that my dad (aka Papa) was able to stay with him on Monday while we went to work. The diagnosis: "an ear infection and a bad cold." I was expecting much worse, so I was happy to hear that statement come out of the Nurse Practitioner's mouth!
Now that he's been fever free for over 24 hours, he can return to school tomorrow. I just hope he doesn't over exert himself while playing and kissing all of the other kids. haha. : )

You are welcome. Thanks for including my kid's pic and the nice comments. John and Jennie do look cute and happy. Her due date is Nov. 25, 06. She hopes to be a little early but not on Turkey Day. I told her, "Dylan will arrive when he wants to, not when she wants." The doc said so far everything is on schedule and she's doing well despite her working 12 hour shifts in the ER. Her nursing scubs are getting snug and Dylan kicks her ribs both of which are uncomfortable. I enjoyed being pregnant but maybe I am forgetting the complaints I had. I keep telling her she will be fine and the fun is just starting.
Jeff starts Paramedic classes tomorrow morning at MU. He's been warned about how hard the program is, not to mention the state, and national testing. Good Luck Jeff! He is really enjoying coaching varsity football at RSHS. It's hard to believe but Julie is now a senior and this will be her 9th year as watergirl/MGR. with the Falcon team. I am excited to attend games this fall.
I am glad Isaac is improving and feeling better. Little guys bounce back quickly as a rule.
Have a great, safe day!
