Ok.... I know, it's been such a long time since I wrote so there's a lot to write. Where do I begin.
The past few entries have been about the changes and accomplishments that I have seen in Megan and in her growing up so quickly. She, as you know, is in her final year of high school. She is very determined, artistic, fun, intelligent, and silly.... she is also a great big sister for Anabelle. Anabelle idolizes Megan and is her little shadow. I just feel so badly that Megan will be going off to college next year and Anabelle is going to miss her so much.

This past week we went to the cities and visited Northwestern University. Megan loved it there and really feels called to be there. We visited with the Theatre head and sat in a class. We actually spent six hours on campus visiting with various departments, etc. The tuition is quite a bit more than Grace, but, they say that they don't want money to be a reason a student can't attend, so they find money to enable all students that are accepted to go there. THis is encouraging. They said that they will be offering her scholarships in a few areas; theatre being one, interp/debate another, and for her gpa yet another, so we are hoping on her getting good chunk of her school paid for. Grace has offered 8,000 a year for all four years.... that's a big part of her tuition.

Last week Meg competed in All State Interp Competition and took "Superior" so she got a trophy and they gave her a nice write up in the paper and on the SD website. I also saw her photo on tv for "High School Heroes". This is an exciting time for her and we are so proud of her.

Our other big news is David... He is still loving his job and seems to be learning new things all the time. He has a lot of responsibility and is moving up so quickly in the company for which he now works. His official title is "Field Service Engineer". How impressive is that?

Robby had his Christmas concert last week and auditioned for Jazz Chior. They travel and compete with other high schools across the tri-state region.

I got a nice email from Creating Keepsakes this afternoon. They have published an album that I submitted over a year ago on the their website.... here's the link if you are interested in peeking at it:

well, that's about all that's going on here. I was, though, reading through a little book that I have. Where I have been keeping record of my 2006 Intentions and I find that this year was actually pretty productive for me. I accomplished everything on it except for being asked to join a design team. Well, I have two weeks left in the year to do that so I guess I better get busy.
That's all for now.
