Well, let's catch up then. Danielle is a senior now. Hard to believe my baby girl is 17 and will be off to college in a year. She's currently looking at Western Carolina University, but has a couple others on her list too. She is taking several AP classes this year and that is keeping her busy with homework. She took Latin I online over the summer. For second semester she is going to take Latin II online and then an online Psychology course from the local community college. She's gotten really involved in the local theater over the summer and is a big part of the tech crew. They love having her and it's a great volunteer outlet for her. She's in her 3rd year of Quiz Bowl, 4th year of Tri-M, and is being inducted into the Beta Club this year. Senior portraits are done. Now the chore of deciding which to order. They all really turned out good, but we definitely have our favorites.
Matthew is a freshman this year. My little guy is 14 and getting taller everyday. He's doing Chess Club and Engineering Club this year at the high school level. He seems to be enjoying high school and the mix of classes he has. He is really considering taking Latin I online during second semester. He has no interest in Spanish or French and by taking these online, he can satisfy his requirement for two classes of the same foreign language. Latin will go great with his intended field of study - Herpetology - studying reptiles... *shiver*.
I'm keeping busy with knitting. I have a couple of new looms and am loving them. I did a pair of socks for Danielle and am working on some for Christmas presents. Brian and I have started going to the high school football games. I love high school football...it's so real. And we have our "extra" kids in the marching band, so we have a great reason to go. Danielle goes when she can because of theater stuff....Matthew is not interested in the least.
I guess that's a good update for now. I'll be back...but who knows when I'll actually remember to log back on. =)
