KEN-

You crack me up! What a great idea! I wonder if knew his

work was being wrapped and given as a gift! It certainly is worthy

to be a present.

What a good friend you are!

That's great! We live in a small community & I'm anxious to see how

people react to Luke's helmet after he gets it.

That's great to hear for once! I too was a bit surprised at the few

people who knew what Abby's band was for, there weren't many, but I

was happy to meet just one person who knew what it was.

How is Zack doing in his helmet? Good progress?

What was up with your pathetic Patriots last week?? I picked them to

win & they stunk up the joint big time! Even my Lions won last

week!!! Didn't think they'd win a game all year, all us Michiganders

are still shocked!!!

Debbie..

I think I know what happened to the Patriots -> we took the stickers

off Zack's helmet!! Apparently the helmet holds mystical powers and

needs to be properly decorated for the Pats to win! (Patriots record

with Zack's Patriots helmet: 3-0, record with Hallowe'en helmet: 0-

1)..you be the judge!

We've seen pretty good progress..it is definitely WAY rounder than it

woes. With dry hair, it actually looks like a normal little boy

head. I think it takes a little longer with a passive helmet, but

since he doesn't mind it..I don't particularly care if he needs to

wear it for another couple of months. I'd actually be a little

bummed out if we couldn't do a Christmas decoration!!!

I actually think your Lions aren't as sucky as everyone thinks they

are. Matt Millen is one of my all time favorite Penn Staters and I

really think he knows what he's doing. With Harrington, they could

easily make the playoffs next season.

WEll then make sure the Pats sticker is back on his helmet by

Sunday , I picked them to win in my $2.00 office pool!!!! Big

spender huh?

My husband & dad, both huge Lions fans, love Harrington, he has

been very impressive in his 2 starts. I still kinda miss

, LMAO, hehe.

SO happy to hear how well Zack is progressing! Christmas was my

favorite holiday to decorate Abby's band for, that & Easter, shoot,

we about hit every holiday in her band besides Halloween, which

would've been fun too!

Ken,

I think its wonderful that you haven't had any negative experiences

while Zack is in his helmet! It sounds like the word is really

getting out about plagio....no doubt thanks to you and your shower

gifts!! My best friend is expecting her first baby, so I'll be

stealing your idea when it comes to the baby shower.

Can't wait to see pics of the helmet all decked out for Hallowe'en.

Are you dressing the twins up this year? I still have no idea hat

we're doing here.

Any chance you could decorate Zack's band for the Eagles?!
