Leaving for Destin on Friday!

The final days of work and school before spring break are winding down ... we're Destin-bound Friday night, March 30! The condo has an internet connection and Drew and I have to be able to check our email (ha) so you can count on a few updates while we're there, Mar 31 through Apr 7! Stay tuned!

Pampering the Princess

Abby and I had a little girls' time today ... which included a trip to the salon for her. She loved hopping up in the big chair and getting her hair combed and trimmed. I had about an inch taken off the length of her hair, as the ends are getting kind of thin. But it's still pretty long, still close to the middle of her back. The stylist also did ear piercing and *almost* talked mommy into cute little earrings for Abby as well. But I chickened out :-)

Maybe for her 5th birthday ... or heck, maybe just when it matters to her enough to ask for it!

Teen Conference

We're so proud of Drew for his involvement with the Tazewell County Youth Board ... their teen conference was yesterday and he had another opportunity to do a tv interview. I would have been a mess if someone stuck a tv camera in my face at age 17 and expected me to be coherent .. but he does well!

There is a blue "video" link at the top of the story where you can see his interview.

I drove George Washington to school today!

Today was TJ's 3rd grade "Biography Day" and as you can see from the slide show ... he chose to give his report about George Washington. He had to read up on Washington's life and then present a 3-5 minute report to the class, dressed in character costume and give the report from George Washington's perspective. So I dropped "George" off at the school door and wished him well! Can't wait to hear later today how it all went. Parents were not invited to be part of the presentations ... this is the first time for such a big presentation for these kids, and they did not want to make them even more nervous with more people in the room!
