Cute as a Bug - Prom Night for Alex & Kinsey

Yes, cute as a bug... In fact, you could argue that the green suit and glasses make Alex actually look like a bug.

Kinsey is on the drum line with Alex and they are very good friends. Doesn't she look just amazing? Kinsey has always been precious but, wow!

If you know Kinsey, you understand these pictures. Kinsey loves green. No, she is obsessed with green. So when Kinsey and Alex decided to go to prom together, there was no question about what color she would be wearing. The question, then, was what color would Alex be wearing? It turns out, Kinsey had this figured out too.

There's a little shop in Port Arthur called "Colors" ran by a friend of ours, Amore Habash. They run a surprisingly robust business renting and selling the wildest suits and related clothing. You wouldn't think there would be a big market for this stuff... orange, plum, fire-engine red, royal blue, canary yellow... you name it, they have it. The wilder the better. It turns out, the shop is quite popular with the black population in Port Arthur. Kinsey brought Alex and Susan to pick out his suit, where they... get this... bought this green suit. That's right, they didn't rent this thing... they bought it.

The story goes that it was cheaper to buy it than rent it... I'm not sure I buy it.

Anyway, Alex should be set for awhile on what to wear for St. Patrick's day or Mardi Gras for the next few years!

Kinsey and Alex had a great time at Prom. No doubt, they were the most colorful!

A Surprise Visitor for Eric

I took this picture at lunch today. Zach surprised Eric today by making a visit to Eric’s school for lunch and, boy, was Eric surprised!

Eric had stayed back from the rest of his class for some reason and was walking alone in the long corridor of the 3rd grade wing when he spotted Zach standing next to Susan just outside her classroom. Zach wore his uniform flight suit and Eric didn’t recognize him at first.

When Eric realized it was Zach, he screamed and ran to meet him. Of course, there was a collective “ahhh” from all the teachers who saw it.

Thanks, Zach, for visiting Eric. It was a very nice gesture and Eric really appreciated it. He likes to show you off!
