Proud of our kids!!

It is a long day. It is nearly 2 am. I am still up. I am kind of waiting the boys coming home, even though they said don't wait... They are at the cast party. Their school's theater performance this year was High School Musical. Joshua worked on the lighting and sound - the "tech" guy. Toby worked in the pit orchestra. We watched the play last night. It was fantastic! Jenny was off her seat all the time singing and dancing alone. If we did not hold her tight, she would have gone to the stage! She was very excited. Her favorite character was the boy on the basket ball team wearing a jersey#16. Don't ask me why. I think he is a freshman and a very good look freshman. It took us a while to find him because all Jenny could tell us was the boy with a number 16. We did not take our camera. I don't know how to download the photo from my camera yet. Needless to say, Jenny was excited to have a picture with him. Anna was excited too, but not as crazy as Jenny. The tickets were completely sold out. Today at dance, some parents complained that they could not get the tickets. It is the talk of the town!

Another talk of the town is the boys' high school football team is going to the playoff in Detroit for the division championship!! The boys will go with their friends to the game. I am not a football fan, but we think we will go too. It is too exciting to miss it!

Anna had her first reconciliation today. I think she is really getting into religion and truly understands what she is doing. We are holding Jenny back a year. Jenny's language is very good now, but religion is harder to understand, even for those who speak perfect English!

We also got Toby's SAT subject reports today. He scored a perfect score of 800 on Math!! Way to go, Toby. We are so proud of you!

Hope Toby and Joshua be home soon and safe!! I wish they were still little boys. They grow up too fast.
