Let the Shirts Speak for Themselves!







Hello Everyone...

So I guess the shirts really do say it all. Evan has been accepted to Syracuse and is planning to begin there in fall of 2010. So that is very exciting news!

And much less exciting news is that I am officially a certified Lifeguard. Just thought I'd post that since I had a shirt and I think Evan would be even more upset with me if I only posted his news. I guess this means that next summer our backyard pool will become almost as good as the YWCA - complete with the lifeguard and everything.

Evan and I finished school yesterday (we've had midterm exams all week), and Leah has her last day today (not sure she'll make it through all of her Christmas parties and Christmas assembly - the last day is always so tough!). We will be leaving Monday to head to Australia. I'm sure we'll have some good pictures after out trip for all of you.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

xoxo

Jane

I'm very happy to learn of Evan's acceptance to Syracuse. At this time next year, he sure will know what "cold weather" is!! Good for you Jane Elizabeth; I do believe you're the first lifeguard we've had in our family.
Love to all,
Auntie Kathy

Congratulations to Evan on getting into Syracuse University! He'll have such fun there! I had a few friends attend, and they just loved it!

Happy Holidays and enjoy your trip to Australia!

Jane, using the pictures of the shirts was a very creative way to let us know the news! Congratulations to you both. I am looking forward to hearing about your adventures "down under".

Love,

congrats on the Syracuse acceptance, Evan -- very exciting!!!

and Jane- you're achievement is quite impressive as well - great job 'Lifeguard Jane' :-)

we're having frigid temperatures here tonight, so for once (me, the heat-adverse neighbor!) I'm envious of your weather there in Singapore.

We miss you and look forward to seeing Jed soon!
