The Usual Susspects

Boomer recently made his television debut, when he was featured in a television spot to promote a canine event called “Bark In The Park.” The 10 second spots will be airing from now until the day of the event on April 9th. Boomer follows in Bear’s footsteps. Bear was featured in a television commercial in New York for a dog walk event. Sadly I have no copies of that spot.  

Maegan finally lost her first tooth. She is the last person in her first grade class to lose her first tooth. She now has a small space in the bottom half of her smile. The tooth fairy is expected to pay Maegan a visit overnight.  

On Saturday Maegan began learning how to ride her bicycle without training wheels. By Sunday she was riding down the block.

Last week Maegan began taking swimming lessons. She’s been advancing each and every day, and today she swam all by herself. Maegan has two more class lessons left.

  As many of you already know, Maegan loves to draw everyday. She was just chosen as one of only eight students from her entire school to have some of her artwork displayed at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools Professional Development Center. "Congratulations! Dear Parents, Maegan Sussman’s artwork was chosen for a [school name omitted] art display at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools Professional Development Center. The art work will be on display until January 13, 2005. … Please stop by and check out the artwork which promotes good quality Art Education and is enjoyed by the many visitors and employees of the PDC. I am very proud of our talented [school name omitted] artists!"

Patty, Maegan, and I all went up to New York this Labor Day weekend for the wedding of Patty’s sorority sister Janet LaMagra. The wedding was in White Plains / Purchase and we all had a great time. Patty was the Matron of Honor and Maegan was the flower girl. We also managed to squeeze in a quick trip to Queens to visit my mom, sister, and aunt on Saturday morning.
