just trying it out for the first time. making sure we're doing it right? Aunt Patty
I was able to see the postings on the blog sight so I'm trying to add information. We'll see if it works. I loved seeing and reading about what Elias is doing in China. This is a great idea!
We've been busy with Jeremiah as he is performing in the Cooper musical Beauty and the Beast.
He's Maurice and a fine Maurice at that. We are so proud of him. This is really out of his comfort zone. We were amazed at his beautiful voice - even if he is ours and our objectivity is questionable. Mom and Dad came last weekend and Lindy, John and maybe even Matthew are coming next weekend. There are 6 performances and I am seeing them all! Annagrace is preparing to start her student teaching tomorrow. She will be with 4th graders the first part and preschool the last part. She's a little nervous about 4th but I think she's looking forward to it. I'm still teaching 5th grade reading and I love it. We're trying to get them prepared for the TAKS on Feb. 21 and that's not too much fun. I do a lot of bribing to make it a little more bearable for all of us. In answering the Christmas puzzle question. I always buy 2 Christmas puzzles each year for us to work on. Bodie is really good at these and Annagrace is a whiz. Dave was a great new addition to the puzzle working this year. He was a real trouper at Christmas! John got a puppy for Christmas -Sophia, a pug. He's really enjoying her. Well, the rest of the year we'll probably be doing Senior things for Jeremiah and Annagrace. I don't know what Mike and I will do without them here next year. Maybe we'll need to travel to China or somewhere!
We miss you and I'll try to send some pictures when I figure out how! Aunt Patty
