Name card

This is the door to the operating room. Full scrubs are required. Super clean, sterile area.


However, notice the filthy Cleveland Indian's hat . . .




For those that don't know the story of this hat, I have had it on at every major event of my life. This was no exception.


** We are happy he was born on the 13th because that is our family number in sports. All of our kids now have #13 as their jersey number. Below are Shawn Jr and Noelle. Brittany is also #13 on her basketball team.
