Only 9 more get-ups till summer break!!

So much has been going on in the last 6 weeks or so. Alot involving Mark and what he has been doing. Jeff has been making making good effort to get his grades up. We are hoping that he will continue the habit into High School! Emily has been getting taller, staying busy and trying to become a Young Lady. Of course, as her mother, I want her stay little......but when have children listened to their parents in that regard?

In mid-April Mark had a very busy weekend. On Apr 16 was an ROTC awards banquet. Only those cadets that were recieving awards were invited (along with guests). This banquet encompassed 4 different schools in the Anchorage area, so there were roughly 250 people attending. Mark received and award for Citizenship. Only about 25-28 awards are given from each corp. Quite the honor!

Then on Sat, Apr 17 Mark had his 1st date! It was to a church sponsered Prom. So he a couple of friends creatively asked some very nice looking girls to attend the Prom with them. Mark wore his ROTC dress unifrom, and his date wore a black dress with a yellow wrist coursage. Looking Good! The group went out for dinner, then headed to the church for the Prom, and had Coldstone Creamery afterwards. I think a good time was had by all. Pictures will be posted ASAP!

Now that we are into May, the count down for the number of days left to get up for school has begun. That would be NINE!! I know a few kids and adults that are ready for that!!
