Like The Wiggles Say, "Hats Are Really Groovy"

Things have been going well for the Frick Jrs lately. I was very sick with some sickness called giardia, which I had never really heard of before and I am not sure where I picked it up. Luckily, neither kid or the wife seemed to pick it up and get sick also. I am feeling much better now and I am actually able to eat! Of course, I am still eating pretty bland stuff as my stomach is still recovering.

This is a picture of a giardia bug that I found on the internet. Yuck! How can something so small cause so much trouble. Little jerk!!


Jessica and I are excited that the school year is almost over. The last day of school for teachers will be on May 23rd, which is circled in our calendars. I am still looking for the break that sweep me away from the classroom and into the principal's office. There are many rumors floating around out there and I will let you know if I will be making any changes in my career. On the other hand, Jessica is moving on up! She is leaving Ravenwood Elementary's Special Education program to take over her very own 4th grade classroom at Fire Lake Elementary, which is even a little closer to home. Jessica is very excited about the new opportunity and challenge, although she is sad to be leaving her friends and students at Ravenwood.

Something most, if not all, Frick Jrs are excited about is that the Pittsburgh Penguins are on the cusp of their first Stanley Cup Finals appearance since they won it back to back in 1991 and 1992. They lead the Philadelphia Flyers 3 games to 0. If they win tonight, they will be in the Finals against either the Detroit Red Wings (most likely) or the Dallas Stars (possible, but I doubt they'll win 3 in a row against the Wings). GO PENS!!


Finally, I am legally obligated to post cute pictures of the kids. One night recently, they were trying on hats that Kierin had in his toy bench. What will their future careers be? Firefighter, construction worker, or Santa Claus? Either way, they are cute!
