As I was walking back to the house going thru the mail, I opened this brochure for Mercer's Family Weekend. We attended it last year - Mike, Gib, Mariah and I. I looked at the schedule and wondered if anyone ever attends year after year or if it's a one and done thing. I thought about whether or not we'd enjoy trying for more of the touristy stuff this time around or if it's only the families of freshmen that go. My eyes scan the photo at the bottom, then the photo at the top. Then I see a cute little girl getting her lunch. I think to myself, "Wow, she sure looks like my little girl used to look like! But we never owned that shirt" I look again. She REALLY looks like my girl. Finally, I notice the man standing opposite her - well, THAT is definitely my husband!!!!

What really made me laugh is that was one fateful lunch if you know what I mean. I took one bite of the coleslaw and KNEW not to eat any more. Mike didn't take my advice and lunch bothered him for hours. Looks like it's coming back at ya one more time!

Mariah arrived home a minute later and confirmed that is indeed her, but wondered how in the world she could be so little!!! My thought exactly. The question of the shirt was answered too: Taryn loaned it to her! I had forgotten about that.

Mike's shirt on the other hand ... Well, let's just say I am removing all Red Cross shirts from his collection. C'mon Man!!!
