September 2008


Since Real Jared works for UPS, the kids thought it was awesome that Flat Jared got to climb up in the delivery truck for a picture.

of the season for Jeff’s soccer team. Daddy was there, as always!

Here Flat Jared poses with two missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. These guys leave home for two years to share the happiness the gospel brings them, and often they miss a lot of family events like weddings and graduations. I think someone needs to start selling Flat Elders!!

FJ managed to talk his way into the parking enforcement guys little truck. I’ve found that public servants are the most likely to say no when asked for a picture. Due to the trouble they could get in if pictures of them end up plastered on myspace or something(like perhaps a random blog?), I’m actually going to say that ’s okay. Thanks for risking your job parking ticket guy!!

I was going to work here part time while Real Jared is gone, but daycare and stuff didn’t quite pan out. It looks like FJ would be a great addition to their team!

This is one of our favorite places to get pizza. They have one called the 5 pounder that has ELEVEN toppings! I don’t even like pizza and I still think it’s pretty good.

Click here for the Flat Daddy segment on our local news. I think he did pretty well!

The crew from the local news came out today and taped a human interest segment about Flat Jared and our family. On the phone they said it would be a half hour out of my day or so but they ended up here for an hour and a half. In the house, out of the house, playing with the kids. They even came to Pita Pit with us!  It was really weird to hear our names coming out of the womans mouth as she stood in front of the camera. She was really nice though and we had a fun little chat. I will see later if it’s available online and link it if it is.

The whole thing made me very nervous, but I figure that if it can help drum up some interest and donations for flatdaddies.com then it is worth getting out of my shell a little bit…

Well, I just happen to have a slew of pictures taken with our Flat Daddy one day BT(before theft), so I’m going to post them every couple of days to stretch it out until our new Daddy gets here. Too bad there wasn’t a newer model by now, one that folds laundry would be awesome!

We had a fun trip to the mall with friends, where we ate lunch and went to the kids museum. A little boy in the food court got upset when Joel walked away with FJ. “Mom, he’s taking away the Army man!” he cried. FJ gave him a high five and everyone was happy again…
