Outgoing President, Incoming President

 This week, Monmouth University saw a beloved president resign, and a new president come into his role. It was a gorgeous day, and we were all present to witness the moment.

We loved President Paul Gaffney-- he is a fantastic speaker, fundraiser, leader, and president, in every sense of the word. He's decided to retire from his job at MU (eleven years!) and move on.
After an almost year-long search, he will be replaced by Paul Brown (formerly of Lehigh University). 

You can see Oliver on Jim's shoulders in the picture below.

Oliver has wanted to make a lemonade stand for WEEKS now. It was finally the right mix of not too hot weather/Mommy had time to squeeze lemons/we had not much else going on... So we found a busy intersection in our neighborhood and sat outside for about an hour.
After the first ten minutes, Oliver said, "Mom, why is no one stopping?"
:(

Then, cars began to slow down. One backed up.
Even though we were only charging 50 cents a cup, each customer left way more than that. Good tips.
The boys made a total of $12!
They spent their hard-earned money at the movie theatre today, seeing Monsters Inc. with Jim. :)
