Quick Update
I knew it; the spring semester always seems to pass by so quickly.
EJ will complete his first year of college next week. Last day of finals is April 24. When we discussed the subject on Sunday he wasn't sure of his final schedule.
Kate will complete finals the following week and have one more semester (Student Teaching) before she graduates in December.
Chloe has about 25 more days of high school left. She informed me that after May 20 the seniors are not required to report as all their finals will be over.
June 1 - Chloe's graduation
June 28 - EJ reports to West Point
July 10 - 5oth Anniversary Party for Mom and Dad
August 12 - Chloe moves into college
August 14 - Acceptance Day for EJ at West Point.
Too bad I can't take the summer off!

My oh My, How Time Flies
So much time has passed and so many events, I may not be able to to accurately remember the last 30+ days. I'll do my best.
We had a great Christmas with Debbie, Michael and Garrett! Garrett showed great restraint and allowed the older children to sleep until 7:15 AM. We played lots of games and Guitar Hero, watched some movies, read, slept and ate. I didn't go to work for 12 whole days. It was wonderful; and a much needed break.
Two days before Christmas, Katie adopted a puppy. Debbie and Michael GRACIOUSLY allowed Kate to bring her new addition for the holiday visit. After several days and trial names, Kate landed on the name Twinkie.
She really is a cutie. And I think, as puppies go, Katie was very lucky. She is almost house trained, sleeps through the night and loves being held. She TORMENTS poor Bandit. I believe the word 'tolerate' would be the best term for Bandit's behavior with Twinkie. He will wrestle with her and allow her to jump all over him and bite and chew his collar. But when he's had enough, EVERYONE knows it. The first 2 weeks Bandit had such sad eyes. He was pitiful. His expression was along the lines of, "Why? Why is she here? I wasn't enough for you?"

All 3 kids are settled back into school routines. Kate has 2 night classes this semester. I think EJ has one as well. Chloe has presented her senior project and is now awaiting her grade. She has all but one college application completed and has been accepted at Kennesaw University. I believe it is her 4th choice, but it is only the first response.
EJ is still having trouble with ingrown toe nails! Friday, January 29, he will have 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed. The girls had no trouble with their procedures. Let's hope EJ is as fortunate with his experience.
Katie is playing soccer again; but she is NOT goalie. :-) EJ misses soccer desperately but there are no opportunities, that I'm aware of, to play at school and because he can't be home every weekend it doesn't make sense to sign up for a county rec team.
I'm sure it is all a mental thing, but the spring semester always seems to go by much quicker than the fall. So before I'm ready EJ and Katie will be starting their summers and Chloe will be graduating. (June 1, 2010).

Fall Semester 2009
Two of my three have completed their fall semester obligations. Classes are done, finals are over and they are officially on Christmas break.
Chloe will start her finals next week and finish at 10:02 AM Friday, December 18, 2009. (Not that she's counting or anything.)
Where did the time go?
Katie had her cast removed Monday! No need for further casting, splinting or PT. Yeah. EJ had his last final Monday and an interview with Congressman Nathan Deal's selection committee this morning. Now we wait. Chloe has an additional part-time job filing for a paving company. Since she has basically been layed off at Brusters until February, this is great news. Her first day was yesterday. She enjoyed the work and the pay is great. And this job being offered to her is another example of who you know - family member of step-mom's.
Chloe and I decorated the tree Tuesday. They would all like for me to bake Chocolate Jumbles but I, honestly, don't know how I'll work that in. Presents are starting to appear under our tree, the weather is cold and Christmas music is on all the radio stations.
Merry Christmas!
