BABY PREDICTIONS

♦  Jin’s doctor’s appointment yesterday revealed that there were no changes with baby Emma.  Since Michelle predicted August 12 (and she’s right about everything!) we are thinking nothing will happen until next week. If Emma is able to fool Michelle, she may come earlier.  In any event, an e-mail will go out letting everyone know the details.

REQUEST

♦ Fridge Fumigation. Please remove any items you may have in the fridge and freezer in the A&H Kitchen by: Tuesday, August 9, 12:00 pm.  The fridge/freezer will be thoroughly cleaned and all items that aren’t clearly marked with your initials and dated will be thrown out.  Please note: If not marked or dated, all plastic containers, bags, and bottles will be thrown in the garbage if not easily identified looking through the container. Anything still in the fridge past the pull date stamp will be tossed.  The fridge needs to be sanitized due to spills and spoiled food left behind.  Icky, stinky.
