Pengiun Mike & The Care Package

This entry is all about my Cousin Michael. For those of you that know me, you know that my family is the most important part of who I am and the Karr Family is a big part of that. A little background for those who don't know. My Aunt Susan is my Moms youngest sister and we are very close. She is more like my best friend than my Aunt and I miss her everyday! I miss them all. Uncle Pat, Aunt Susan, Michael, Danny & Ashley have played a big role in my kids lives. They were here when Drew was born and they take very good care of them when we go home for a visit. So because Susan is about 10 years younger than my Mom, her kids are obviously much younger than me. Her oldest, Michael, just left for college this past weekend. He's already called me twice about Res Life issues and I hope I helped! :) He came to visit us this past spring for a week and the boys had a ball with him (picture #1). So when I told the boys we should send Michael a care package (picture #3) at school because he was away from home, they got very excited. In fact, they picked out everything in that box. Fruit snacks for all! Jack also asked if we should send him Penguin Mike (picture #2) so he wouldnt be lonely. I thought that was so cute and sweet because Michael actually gave Jack, Penguin Mike a few years ago, hence why Jack named him that. I told him that he was okay and Penguin Mike should probably just stay here. He looked relieved...

So...Good luck, Michael! We hope you enjoy every second of college. It is truly one of the best times of your life! Be safe and be smart! We love you! XOXO
