For the love of family...







Hello, friends and family!



We are finally on the map!!! We are doing well. Young John is out of school and on his way to high school in the fall. I can't believe that he is a freshman. Remember that sweet little boy who could never leave my side? Now, he can't wait to get out with his friends. Mom who?...



He turns 15 in November, so his permit is on his mind. (and mine...) He is already a tall one, at 6'2", and totally hansome. He won't commit to one girl, but prefers to go out with many. Good, I am not ready for the drama of a steady.





Sarah is super! She will be done with school on July 1st, and after a short summer break, she will be starting second grade on August 23, I think. She is excited to be starting a new school but will miss the friends who will not be attending this school. She played baseball this spring, but after accidently wacking a friend in the head with a bat, she refuses to play summer ball. Too bad, because she was good. She wants to try cheerleading, but at almost 200 dollars for the season, she may not. We just have to weigh the odds. She also wants to try gymnastics, ballet and karate. So who knows what she will choose. She is still taking piano lessons, but doesn't have lessons right now, as her teacher is being filmed for "High School Misical 3"!!! How exciting for her. Sarah played Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" for her recital piece, and did beautifully.





Conor is fun! He is two next week, and we are planning a big boy's birthday party with lots of food and friends. He is in constant motion and never stops talking. He is our comic relief. The other day I gave Helen a bath. Apparently she wasn't clean enough for Conor as yesterday while I was cleaning the bathroom, he decided to dump a whole bottle of shampoo on the dog and the family room floor and stairs. He wasn't finished. He then started to finger paint the rest of the family room floor. Helen was white. I had John take pictures of the mess before we cleaned it up. We will put those on later. He is a happy boy and a joy to have around.


Talk to you all later.
