Marian performed in the Acting Awards for Bijou, didn't win, but had a fun time. She is now 15, and has her learner's permit. She is asking to drive at every opportunity. But, she says she's scared of driving on the highway. She is very busy now with rehearsals for The Music Man. She loves being involved onstage, after so many years watching from the wings.
Anna is busy working on school and focusing on graduating. We are all hopeful that it'll be in May. Starting soon, she'll be looking for employment. Marian is hoping Anna gets a job right away and moves out, as she wants her room. Anna had the best birthday present, as we gifted her with tickets to Dancing with the Stars Live! She was in the 3rd row and had a blast.
Other things we've done:
- Girl Scout International Festival (we did the country Germany and served chocolate cookies and Gummy Bears)
- Making TONS of costumes for The Music Man!! Still working on alterations.
- Girl Scout Cookie Season (everywhere you look in my office, there are cases of cookies!)
- Finally getting our furnace working, after it seemed like months without heat (it was probably only weeks, but it felt much longer)
- Watching the Olympics and rooting for Team USA
- Getting sick, but not the flu, and suffering for a week with horrible cough
Happy birthday to Marian, Anna and Karen
