Lots of silly faces!
Today we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Michael McDonough.  He was Caleb's special guest.  Mr. McDonough is from Ohio and he lived in both Toledo and Troy.  We found out that he is an identical twin and he also has a big brother too.  All 3 of the boy in his family have the initials MD!  Mr. McDonough's first job was picking corn at a farm and then he worked in a pet store which was good because he loves animals.  He came to Coastal Carolina for college because he really likes being around the water and being outside.  He has a Marine Science degree from Coastal and one of his favorite things to do is be out on the water in his boat.  He also loves going fishing with his friends and with Caleb.  Mr. McDonough works for our local newspaper, The Sun News.  He works in the advertising department and works with local car dealerships making their ads.  He and Caleb enjoy spending time together on the weekends and going to Coastal sporting events.  He also loves to go camping at Edisto Beach.  Since we have been talking about traditions and customs, Mr. McDonough shared that his family was from Hungary and that he can remember his grandmother making special cookies and decorations for the Christmas tree that were from Hungary.  It was so much spending our morning with you Mr. McDonough!
