The weirdness that is my family!

I thought I would give you a little glimpse into my weird family! Last night Laura and Aaron came over to spend some time with Andy before he left. We always end up laughing about something and this night was no exception. I have to give you a little background on the pictures you are about to see.
I am always cold in the winter. In the evening, I usually am sitting with slippers, sweatshirt and a blanket over me. I often complain that my nose is cold. Well - a few years ago Laura came up with something funny to give me for Christmas. She made "nose muffs". You say you have never heard of them? No one else has either! She took fabric, put batting in it and added elastic straps to keep it on the head. She made about 8 of these out of various fabrics, for different occasions or seasons. Of course we laughed like crazy when I got them and I tucked them away because they were so funny. Last night she was talking about a co-worker who always has a cold nose at work and I told her she should give her a nose muff. I got them out and everyone had to try one on. I thought I should take pictures and share with you all, although after this you may not want to associate with me again!

Here is Andy in the "soft" muff.

This is Heather, modeling the summer version.
.

Aaron is wearing the "prison" style. (It has a barb wire pattern and Laura thought I may need it some day)
.

Laura is wearing the "spring" style.
.

Bob is wearing the "winter" muff. I also have a Fall, Christmas and a nighttime version.

Finally - here are all four checking out some of Andy's pictures. I thought I would leave you with a little more normal picture of them, in the hopes that I haven't scared you all away!

We got Andy sent off without any problem, other than the teary eyed Mom and sister! The airport gave us passes to go into the secure area so we were able to sit with him until he boarded. I'm hoping to get a call from him sometime on Wednesday to tell us he arrived. Thanks for your prayers!
