Another whirlwind few weeks.
Jimmy was home on spring break and worked his tail off with law school wait list final details, homework, prep for Teach for America interviews and writing a paper for the Naval Academy conference in 2 weeks. We made all his favorite food and he saw all his friends plus went to church for al Easter prep/services. Played drums and guitar, cuddled with the dogs and kept us company. All in all, a good week. The next 7 weeks will be fun, exciting, stressful, and anxiety ridden. Waiting to hear back from Notre Dame, 2 hours interview and mock classroom teaching with Teach for America, 5 baseball games to call, a law firm interview, the undergrad Naval Academy Policy Conference, the last few weeks with his friends, graduation prep, finals, etc.... Hoping he finds a way to be in the moment, enjoy this time, and know that all and only good is coming his way.
We managed to get all 3 kids home on Easter for a take out lunch from Sichun, Kay's favorite place to get Pho. We also took the boys and Jim/Jen Fellows to Cossettas to celebrate Jam's birthday. So fun to have everyone together.
It snowed. A lot. 15 inches in a week, which over doubled the amount of snow we got all winter. We need it! But, it made for a messy week.
Melissa and Andre (big neighbors) got a new dog, Lola!
Our garage is famous not that Kevin Doran (newscaster) came to our St Pats Party - you never know who will be at one of our parties!!
We went to The Parkway, our favorite place to see music, to see Steve Forbert and ran into Mike and Frankie! This is notable because they live outside Waterloo Canada and, yes, came here just to see the show! (oh, and their oldest Dan is in his final year of law school at St Thomas and just had a birthday plus Frankie is on her way to Spokane for a conference) ... it was a huge surprise and such a blessing to see them there!
We are doing Veg April and Tracy has a list of 28 recipes, some old, some new, to try. Wish us luck!
Sending you all love, peace, sleep, health, snuggles, dogs, good food, great friends, family and all that we have...
