Ok, who is Bob and why does he look so familiar?

Bob is a mutual friend of mine & Teresa's. The little girl in the picture is my daughter and the little boy is Bob's.

He is from Michigan City Indiana originally and has lived in Houghton Michigan since 1977 or 78. For those of you that might not have seen my news because you haven't been able to keep up with the thread, Teresa & I found each other again on this thread a week ago. Her DH, Bob, his wife, Chuck & I were all friends at Michigan Technological University. We met Teresa at my house in Holland MI when she started dating her DH after we all left school. We had lost touch when my kids were born and I stopped sending Christmas cards. I sent her a pm when I saw she was from Michigan and we ended up realizing that we were long lost friends.

I don't know why he looks familiar to you, but he has always reminded me of someone, and I couldn't quite place it!

Bob was a college buddy of my husband's. He is also a friend of Vicki's who was also a college friend of my husband's. This might explain a bit:

After TeresaJoy posted about seeing Kate, I sent her a pm when I saw that she was from Michigan. I told her I was from the U.P. and asked where she was from. She sent a nice note back saying where she lived, that her husband had attended Michigan Tech in the UP and where did I live in the UP. I sent another one saying that Chuck & I had met at Michigan Tech and the years that we were there. She sent another note saying that her husband was there at the same time. What a small world, she says! She went on to say that he used to hang out with Bob & Liz x, Dave y, Chuck & Vicki z. Imagine my surprise when I opened the pm and saw my name in the middle of her post. I couldn't read it fast enough.

This is our long lost buddy & his wife. We attended their wedding. I just asked Bob a couple of months ago if he had their address because I wanted to start sending Christmas cards again and their last one came back. He didn't have it. I just got off the phone with him and he is excited that I've found them too.

Bob & Liz were our neighbors in married student housing when we first got married. Dave, Bob & her DH were best buddies. Chuck was a grad student and worked a lot of evenings & Liz was a nurse that worked nights. I can't tell you how much time we all spent together over those first two years of my marriage. We hung out all the time. After we moved to Holland MI, they all met there to hang out one year. We got together for their wedding and Dave's wedding. These were very close friends. I'm so excited to have made contact with them again. I can't believe I did it through the DDA.

Can you tell I'm like this right now????!!!!!!

Hey you know - that's not such a bad idea... we could have a virtual meet and scap while we chat

Well, our 10 a.m. showing cancelled, but someone else scheduled an 8:15 p.m. showing tonight! We think the morning showing was just another realtor scoping out her competition, and at least now I have more time to clean.

Amy

Hope your evening showing goes well and you get a bite on your house.

If he is from Michigan and always has been, than I think I went to school with Bob's doppelganger.

He's originally from Indiana.

My DS Jake had two baseball games last night. His team was in a three way tie for first, so they played a mini-tournament last night. His team won both games, and the first place trophy. He had fantastic hits each time at bat -- always over second base. I was so proud!

Great job Jake.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Well I have been in Pa. since I was 4, so I don't know Bob, but I swear I went to school with someone who looks just like him.

He's originally from Indiana.

Mrs. Heg

You've gotten some great advice

I do disagree with Amy on one point - when Julia was 3 she was nervous when we first saw the characters in the park - after our first character meal - that all changed - the same thing happened with my niece when she was 3 - seeing the characters walk around and talk gave them a chance to watch the characters safely from afar for a while and then have the safety of the table between them and the character when they first approached - the characters are really good at the character meals of gaging the kids reactions -

You might also start with a meal that is face characters - I love the 1900 Park Fare breakfast - it is a combo of face characters and Pooh characters - both of my kids love it!!

ETA: while I disagree with Amy - I don't think she is wrong - just presenting a different point of view!

Ephram just loved the character meals more than at the parks as well.

I got the job! 4 days a week as lead teacher. So I have a question. I am allowed to decorate my room however I want, so obviously I picked Disney!!!! Anyone know where I can get Disney themed teacher supplies such as posters, b'day banners, etc? My kids name tags will be Mickey and Minnie. I'm also going to get Disney fabric for curtains. I'm really excited. And the Director's son just finished a 6 month internship with Disney, so she's a huge Disney fan too!

I'm so happy for you. Congratultions.

I bought t-shirts for the whole family..but they are out of the bigger size for Bill. It's the Patriotic Mickey Mouse shirt...it is dark blue, they are $5 and I need a 2X. I am kicking myself for not buying it when I saw it a couple of weeks ago. Please let me know if they have it. THANKS!!!

If noone else sees it I can check this week-end.

I am sure you guys can appreciate this....
I was almost 2 years behind in getting my photos into an album. I have been putting it off & finally today I sat down & put in 2 years of pictures with captions into my album. It was pouring today so it was a good excuse to get this done. I can't believe I let it go that long. The photos were all over the house so organizing them was a pain but now I am up to date! While I was looking at the pictures I realized how much my kids have changed in just one year....

I like the new million dreams..I guess I have to work on convincing my DH to go to Disney again in 2007!

Whoo Hoo!!! Congrats on the Job. I dont know where to find Disney theme teacher supplies but if I see any I will let you know.

I hope this post finds you all well.

I can't find the pictures from Ellie's end of the year preschool program but when I do I will post them.

I do have a few from my weekend at the inlaws........


I wont get to post much the next few days, my SIL just let us know she would staying the night on their way home.

I tried to read all the posts I was behind on but that didn't happen so I guess I will just need to have someone give me the cliff notes on the past few days.

Enjoy!!! I am off to Bethie's gymnastics.

Great pictures Paula. I love the one with you and the girls. Just precious....

Hey, I've already said that I'll stop buying after this auction ends. I really, really want this one though - more than I wanted the convertible. It is a Tigger Disney Water Baby. I'm told by another Pal Mickey fashion dresser that the outfit fits Pal Mickey. Won't that make a cute Halloween costume for him?? Tigger is my favoritest character of all time. That's why Pal Mickey has a Tigger buddy. I bought a dalmations water baby outfit a week ago but it hasn't arrived yet. I couldn't resist as that is what my girls dressed up as when they were little. They loved the 101 dalmations.

Now, darling I can find you a Tigger water baby at Target if you don't win that auction!!

PS-thanks for the package......but really passing your stuff on does not mean you need less of an intervention!!
