What's happening in our house

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.
