White Christmas 2007: V

Daddy… John?
Amelia caused some raised eyebrows at her pre-school last spring when her teachers observed that “there seem to be a lot of men in your family.” She had created a stick figure drawing of our family: mom, dad, Is, Ella and… Todd and John. Todd is Brad’s brother who lives in Atlanta. John is a close friend and stay-at-home Dad with kids who play with our kids frequently. It led to some mild laughter among the teachers who retold the story to Kristin last Spring. The mild laughter turned to raised eyebrows this fall when Amelia saw John at the school, turned to Ella and, in front of those same teachers, exclaimed, “Look, Ella, there is your Dad!”
