Well, we are half way through July so far and it's been busy! We had another fantastic 4th of July we spent the day at Joe's house. (pic's above..)
Eric started and completed Drivers Ed as well as Consumer Ed in Summer School. Now armed with his learner's permit he is successfully giving me several grey hairs!! (for some reason he doesn't like red lights??) I have come to the conclusion that the new law which requires him to have his permit for 9 months really isn't a bad thing! He turns 16 in November but due to that new law he isn't able to apply for his license until April 11, 2009. (whew.) Eric has also landed a job, he will be bussing tables and hosting at Jimmy Oh's a new fine dining restaurant here in town--not too many hours we don't want to cramp his rehearsal schedule nor his place on the cross country team but he wants to work a night or two a week! OH and he got braces too!!
Jakob attended SHG Football camp last week and began practice this week with the Springfield RAMS! It's hard to believe it's "that time again". With yet another promotion under his belt at work Corey was really struggling with whether to Coach or not, in his true style he could not simply let it go so he opted to stay on and assist as long as they found another head coach.
Les Miserables is less than two weeks away. Pre-sell of tickets has begun, and yes before you ask we have ours (and yes..I will be there all 3 nights!)! We have a lot of friends and family traveling just to come and see Eric and Jake perform! We are all getting very excited. Corey, Patti and I have all been volunteering our time on the weekends towards getting the set built and assisting with props. It's truly been a family affair!
Thanks to all of our friends and family for your thoughts, prayers and well wishes!
Love,
Marianne
