My daughter performing in her 1st school play.

Her class was divided into two groups of 12 each performing the “3 Little Pigs” play. Since the 2nd play’s girl was out early for spring break, my daughter got to do her part in the play twice. She played the Mother pig in the story.

More pictures from the play are in The Shures photo gallery.

Student of the Week

My daughter’s week of fame at her school. This award is really not that big of a deal. At her age, everyone gets a turn. But in her grade, she is one of the smartest students.

Daughter & Daddy

A Favorite Picture

My daughter went to what might be the best pre-school in our area. It wasn’t the most expensive, but it was attached to a church. We took this picture and made this frame on Daughter/Daddy day at the school.

I recall this day vividly. It was right during the time that the disc blew out in my neck. The very next month in October, I was having spinal surgery. The following month after, more trouble.

The $32,000 titanium plate and screws I now have inside me still seems to be working OK. I’m a bionic man; better, stronger, faster. Knock on wood. I also have a little dead people in me. I hope it was a Captain.

Got a little Captain in you?

3 different subjects all in one post. Now I have to go put the picture back in the frame before a monkey falls off.

A Wiggler Lost

My daughter lost another tooth today. It was the front top central incisor. A PBJ did the trick to free that little wiggler. It won’t be long until that other wiggler next to it also comes out.

Going To Kindergarten

Losing overtime at work to do it, costly.
Walking my daughter everyday to kindergarten, priceless.
