Favorite picture of the week

I am going to start my new job tomorrow at the kids school as the "Lunch Lady". Here is a picture that Grant drew for me. This is a picture of Grant and I in the lunch room at school. He was the one that told me about the job and probably the most excited about me getting the job. I hope I can make him proud.
