Both Marian and Gabriel have their last days of school this week. Gabriel leaves on Wednesday morning for a math competition in Iowa. He has finished his quad copter, a side project he's been working on this winter. It's a radio controlled four propeller helicopter. If we get a video of it, we'll post it here. It's pretty cool. Summer plans include working (he's a host at Aubrey's), lab internship, and college visits.
Marian has planned a Summer Bucket List, with about 40 things to accomplish. Her plan is to take pictures or videos of them all and then create a YouTube video of it all. Some things on her list so far: have an EPIC sleepover (scheduled for this Friday), hug a stranger, visit a different state, have a color coded week (wear all red one day, blue the next, etc.), and write an original song. We'll keep you posted on her progress! She is also going to Girl Scout camp and coming along with me and Gabriel to some of the college visits.
Anna has secured a job for the summer, working her but off at Big Ed's Pizza. They are a local pizza joint with deep roots in the community and were named the best pizza in TN. Suffice it to say, they are always busy. She does everything from bus tables to wash dishes. It's your typical summer job and she's happy to have it. She will also be dog sitting and babysitting throughout the summer.
We are having our annual Memorial Day BBQ today, with Bogdan's work colleagues. Originally, he invited nearly everyone he's met, and the number now is about 70. I've made the statement that if they haven't come for 2 years, they are off the list for the future. If they come and didn't RSVP, they are definitely off the list.

Welcome to May!
In no particular order...
Anna is home for the summer from college and excited to be done finals and the year. She is looking for a summer job and applied to 8 places yesterday in town. Really hoping something falls into place soon for her.
Gabriel had his last regatta this weekend, but didn't do as well as he hoped. They caught a "crab" along the way. That's the very un-technical term for when the oars mess up during the row and the rhythm is all messed up. He's had 1 AP test and takes another tomorrow and the last one next week. We have a few trips this summer to colleges & universities. We're visiting GA Tech, Rice University, and University of Chicago. He already visited Berkeley and Stanford.
Marian has 2 music/choir events this week. This first is her school choir concert on Tuesday night and the second is a talent show at school. She has a solo in both.
Bogdan leaves this week for a quick trip to Dayton, OH.
Another hospice patient of mine has passed away, but it was expected. Hospice is a area where you know that the patients have a limited amount of time. Prayers for her family and husband are appreciated.
