Hi and Lois in the funny pages was all about us (Nov 8's strip). Lois told Hi that if they ever moved, they'd have to take the door jamb with them because it has the children's measurements marked on it. We have always kept the measurements of Bryan, JT and Luci on the door that goes to our basement. Open it up, and you see the growth from their Day 1--well, Luci's Day 2. This door has markings with their ages, height and important events, like, "Christmas 1996," "5th Birthday," "Daddy comes home from Afghanistan," "Luci comes home."
It was this door that let me know that Luci's birth length was identical to Bryan's and JT's length at birth, and her weight was almost exactly half-way in-between both of the boy's birthweights. Luci had those items recorded on the day she was found, which we think to be the second day of her life, so they are pretty accurate. Pretty remarkable, too, that they all match up!
When we signed papers around the dining room table that day last February, we told the lady buying our house that we'd leave the oven but take the door to the basement.
We are now looking for people to help us move our apartment items to the new house next Saturday, the 18th. It is also the day the big football rivalry takes place here--known as "The Iron Bowl." We placed a request for workers in the church bulletin promising we'd be done before the Iron Bowl starts. I hope. John's contacting the Direct TV people to come out tomorrow or next week to set up our dish so we can watch the game in our new home. Doesn't matter how the team does the rest of the season, you gotta win the Iron Bowl!
