Time to Play Catch Up
Boy, has it really been over a month since I posted here? Amazing how time flies. March was a busy month in our household. Lulu turned 16 in March. My little girl is growing up so fast. She will be eligible for her driver’s license in June. Then I will need to make a decision on which vehicle she will get to use. Benny is officially a teenager. He turned 13 in late March. Three teenagers under one roof! DH also celebrated a birthday in March. And yes, we have three cakes between the 12th and the 21st every year. All are ice cream and none last very long in our house.
Frankie has gotten accepted into every college she applied; she was worried she would not be accepted into any. JMU is her first choice, but she did not get accepted into their music program. Disappointing, yes, but there is always next year. She did get accepted into Radford’s music program and their honor’s program. She is leaning this way. She auditions for Radford this coming Monday. I know, how did she get into the music program without auditioning? I asked the same thing. They looked at her music experience. Frankie has been in marching band 4 years, IDL 2 years, Jazz band 1 year, made the high school All-District band 1 year (7th chair concert), and takes private lessons - flute 2 years, piano 2 years.
Next week Lulu and I will be going to Washington D.C. with the History Club. This is exciting. We will get to take a tour of the White House and one day will be spent at Six Flags. Not sure which is more exciting. We do love a good roller coaster! Then there is Easter and I may do our famous egg hunt. Our house sits on 3 acres and it makes for a fun hunt. We shall see. Money is tight and we like to put money in the eggs. I may do it anyway.
Now I will leave you with the IDLers practicing on the bus without their instruments. Enjoy!
