You know people are good when the kids take to them in seconds. Such is the case with Miss Shell (known to others as Michelle) who helped us make our schedules work by helping with childcare after the storm. It was Miss Shell’s oyster po-boy that Kate picked up and devoured at 8 months. It was Michelle that we called when Will tried to fly and burst open his forehead. And it was Michelle who spent the night while I rushed Paul to the hospital with appendicitis. It’s fair to say that she has stuck with us for better and for worse, which is about the most anyone can ask from another person. This city is hard on young talent and Telemundo wooed her away, back to her home town of Miami. When she is not being wined and dined by Miami’s most eligible bachelors, she is an undercover reporter, so if you’re pulling a scam in south Florida, watch out! She was back in town for fun and relaxation, hitting her indie music scene between lunch dates.  Will tried to hide in her purse as a stow-away, but the crack-down on luggage weight foiled his plan.

I LOVE just seeing a PICTURE of Michelle. I’m glad to hear that you all are still in touch. We miss her so!
