Plebe Parents’ Weekend was a success! We’re packing up now and heading to the airport. Cameron is in tow and ready to assault the skateparks and beaches of Southwest Florida.
Today is Paris’ birthday! Celebrating yesterday with all of the kids was huge for her — she absolutely adores her brothers and sister. And hey! Mark ate cake…
I’ve got a ton of pictures from the weekend. Most will never see the light of day at Mark’s request. “Dad, I don’t need anyone seeing any of this because I don’t want a hard time”, he suggests with a smile. I have a couple of him without his shoulder boards (he was making sure they were displayed “right”). When he heard the camera shutter, he looked at me with a firm smile and said “posting those will be a very bad idea. It looks like I’m out of uniform.”
So! I’ll be doing some reviewing before anything goes up. Stay tuned!
But! Remember those parents we love so much that take pictures for the rest of us to enjoy? One of them was making the rounds on Friday while families waited patiently for their first looks at their sons and daughters. Guess who she found? Check it out –
Karen’s shirt says “Lucky Mom” — she sure looks like one. That head in Mark’s stomach is Paris giving him a huge hug. Cameron is just over Mark’s right shoulder, and obviously Dad is watching Eurpoean soccer (score!). Mark seems to be enjoying the welcome.
This was one really happy moment out of many over a great weekend. The wonderful (and invisible!) Mom who took these photos has literally taken thousands over the summer, but this time she caught all of us. Her name is Nushi. She deserves a medal in our book. We never even knew she was there. Thanks Nushi!
More soon!
Great job with the site! Love the pics & updates! I copy and paste them out to my friends as they come in! Mark has a cheering section he hasn’t even met! I bet the weekend was amazing! Mark, you look fabulous! auntchrisrules@cox.net is my email, I’d love it if you sent me some of the pictures you won’t be posting. Keep up the great job!
Chris
