Celebrity Look a Like


My sister-in-law Ashley did a great post on celebrity look a likes, with a twist. Awhile ago, the Facebook fad was posting a picture of your celebrity look a like in place of your profile pic. The only celebrity I've ever really been told I look like (not often, maybe twice) was Jennie Garth.


I think it was mostly the big eyes and mouth shape. But I love that I found this picture of her because it's a classic facial expression. My sister Alyson tells me that I give this same terrible expression that looks like "Who Are You, and What Are You Even Talking About, You Fool." But I always telling her that she misinterprets it, and really it's my "I'm Trying to Really Listen and Understand You, You Precious Soul." So if I have ever given you this expression, please know that I meant the latter and not the former.
Anyway, Ashley's twist is that she tried to identify her celebrity male doppelganger. She picked Sean Astin, but I think she's infinitely cuter! I had no problem coming up with mine. In fact, it was suggested to me years ago by none other than my fabulous sisters-in-law. And if you've ever wondered what I would look like as a 9 year old boy, wonder no longer. . . .

Sponsor a Shot!


On September 25, our family will be participating in the Step Out Walk to Fight Diabetes, which is a fundraiser for the American Diabetes Association. We've established an official team in Grace's honor and we want you to join us! The walk will be held at This Is the Place Heritage Park and begins at 10. There is a 1 mile and 3 mile route. After the walk there will be a petting zoo, train rides, face painting, and other entertainment.
Between now and then, Grace will check her blood sugar at least 4 times a day and have at least 2 injections of insulin a day, for a total of about 200 needle pricks. In her honor we've decided to set our fundraising goal at $200. To contribute, you can choose how many shots you'd be willing to sponsor and donate $1 a shot. You can send checks made payable to the American Diabetes Association to us.
We are so grateful for the good care Grace has received and are happy that she has adjusted well. But the reality is that Diabetes is a disease with no cure. The responsibility of careful management is constant. And we want Grace to know that we are doing what we can to help support her and contribute to the search for a cure. Please join us and show your love and support for Grace by Sponsoring a Shot and helping us reach our goal!
Please call or email if you have any questions!
