RIP Kermit Love

Kermit Love, who helped Jim Henson design the costumes for the Sesame Street characters, died today at age 91.  Love designed the costumes and characters for Big Bird, Mr. Snuffleupagus, Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster and also appeared on Sesame Street as "Willy", the neighborhood hot dog vendor.

Rest in Peace, Kermit.

Aaron’s Fifth Grade Graduation

Last month was Aaron’s fifth grade graduation.  The school district doesn’t actually call it a “graduation”, they feel it’s “inappropriate” to graduate fifth graders, so they call it a “reception”.  But he did complete five years of education at Middleton Elementary School, and he’s now officially a Junior High School student. 

Pics of the “reception”, which looked oddly like a graduation ceremony, were here but are now gone.

1963 Chrysler Newport – Before Pics

Here they are – before pics.  Any resemblance to Christine is purely coincidental.  We named it “Behemouth”.
