Another Student-O-the month

You may remember last November Will was student of the month in his class. If you don't remember I will wait while you go back and read about it.........................You're back? Good! Well while we were so proud of will, we were equally concerned for John because he was devastated. Everything they got to that point they shared. This was one thing they could not share.


Last week we got a note that John was selected to be the student of the month for his class.

Here is John at the beginning of the awards ceremony. He was so nervous. I don't know if it was because we were there, or he was concerned that Will would win another award with out him.

Then they called his name!!!!


Then just as John was taking his medal and certificate from the principal this lady stood up in front of me.
Good job John!!!
This is the look of uncontainable pride we had been looking for.


BTW what do you think of the pictures? I just got a new camera.

My Kids are awesome. Do you want one?

I have been battling a pretty bad cold for the last 2 weeks, So when the opportunity came for me to leave work early yesterday and pick up the boys from school I took it. All I wanted to do was fall on the couch and take a nap. The boys wanted to watch TV so they went up stair to watch in our bedroom while I sprawled on the couch. Just as I was dozing off I hear Will yell from up stairs "Dad, The toilet is clogged!". " I'll fix it later." was my reply. A nice dry boring documentary was playing quietly on the History Channel about WWII British submariners. Perfect Nap inducing white noise.

Suddenly I awake to John shaking me about an hour later saying "The water is still running. What should we do?" That is a phrase that will definitely pull you from a sound snooze.

Have you ever seen a water ring on the out side of a bathtub? I have. I now know that my master bath can hold an inch and a half of water. But only for a little while.
