Since school is about to start, I thought I would give an update on what the family has been up to.
John
and I are working hard at Hewitt. Same stuff just different days. John
has been working hard losing weight. He looks really fantastic. I'm
trying to get my ducks in a row so that I can start attending college
again. There have been a lot of things going on so hopefully I can start
in the Spring.
Matthew
turned 18 this year. He graduated from High School in May and it was a
lot of fun visiting him in Missouri. We hung out a lot and made up for
lost time. He'll be leaving for boot camp on September 14th.
He enlisted in the Marines and wants to be a jet pilot. He'll be
attending boot camp in San Diego and I hope to see him graduate in
December.
Dustin turned 15 this year. He is a Sophomore in High School. He has finally found his niche in NJROTC
and Orchestra. He has inherited the family music gene and can replay
anything he hears on his Viola. He's been helping his Nana out a lot
this summer since his Dad and Wyatt moved to Kansas.
Wyatt turned 13 this year. He is in 8th
grade and is your typical teenager. He struggled a lot last year in
school and it was decided that he would be more successful in a smaller
school where the teachers can give him more attention. Wyatt moved to
Kansas in July with his Dad. He's on the football team and started Choir
this year. He's really
excited about his "fresh start" at his new school and wants to succeed.
We speak to him almost everyday and if anyone wants his address, just
let me know.
Stanlee and DC, the cats, are as crazy as cats can be. We had a close call with Stanlee
in July. We thought we might have to put him to sleep. He has the
feline urinary tract problems and the vet did all she could this last
time. She's the best, but if this last surgery doesn't work then we'll
have to put him to sleep. Keep him in your prayers.
