A little over a year ago I got a phone call from a lady at the YMCA. Little E was doing a preschool class there and, as poor students, we had applied for and received a scholarship so that we didn't have to pay the full fee. The lady informed me that they were working on their fund raising campaign and were impressed with my comments on my scholarship application and wanted to interview Little E and I and also take some photos for advertising. I couldn't recall what I had written exactly, but given the fact that we felt blessed to have the scholarship, I quickly agreed to the interview and photo shoot. Little E loved every minute of it, and it was a perfectly adorable little interview and he is so incredibly photogenic, I waited to see the flyers and pamphlets they promised would use our quotes and pictures. The lady in charge sent me several different write-ups so I could edit/correct mistakes, such as Mr. Man's name being completely changed. And yet I never saw any of it in print. Yesterday in the mail a dear friend sent the following advertisement with our faces on it! We no longer live there, and who knows what else we may be endorsing in the years to come! Little E is beyond thrilled that he has been in the newspaper, and wearing his spiderman sweater the same day this came in the mail was a real highlight as well.

Sweet! I'm going to start putting pictures of you in my fund raising efforts here. I'll send you a link of course and let you have a free sample of what ever I'm selling. You look really HOT so that is always nice.
I saw you or Greg on g mail last night and it was so weird, i really felt like you were in my PC because I haven't seen other humans over the age of 3 for a few days...hence the ...are you in there? Off to dance class! Jefferson does average with the dance steps, she doesn't like to do what the teacher is doing but she sure loves to sing. She sings louder than the CD playing. It's hilarious in her deep husky voice.
