My Girls

I'm not sure where the time goes but it seems to slip ever so quickly these days.

This post is purely for my benefit, seeing that my journal entries have become extinct.

Having stated that, in no way will this blurb suffice for a true and thorough journal entry.

Perhaps placing my journal next to my bed will remind me to not neglect it.

Until then, here's a brief look at life lately for my girls:

Emily is experiencing a fit of senioritis all while trying to stay afloat in some demanding classes and extra curricular responsibilities. Have I mentioned how incredibly helpful it is to have a personal chauffeur?

Hilary survived the wisdom teeth extractions and looked like a caricature for a few days but the bruising is diminishing and the weird questions from fellow students about her facial changes are dwindling. She completed a huge bug project for biology with her dad's help and came away with an A+.

Hannah put together an extensive power point project for biology and understands fully what she will get to experience this summer when she heads to the oral surgeon. She and Hilary continue to train for xcountry and the upcoming track season. The JV T-birds placed third in the region a few weeks ago and their season is officially over.

Julia seems to keep the busiest schedule of all with weekly piano lessons, play practice and early morning concert choir practice. She is a social animal and always wants to be doing something or playing with someone. The front of our house continues to be nightly meeting place for kickball and night games. I wonder what they will all do when it starts to really get cold?

In the meantime, Dan anxiously awaits the FTC's (Federal Trade Commission) approval for the Schering/Merck merger and the impending layoffs. He is seriously swamped all the time with his ecclesiastical duties but never complains. He really is my Superman.

I am now stressing over a Halloween costume I was hoping I wouldn't have to worry about to wear to school for the annual parade. Any ideas? Because I'll take them!
