Well it has been ages since I have posted anything. Sorry about that. We have been pretty busy lately. I guess I will start backwards.
We had a very relaxful Thanksgiving here in sunny, NC. We had our neighbors, Dan, Sue and Ashley join us for dinner. We spent the morning cooking and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade, getting pumped for next Thanksgiving as Jillian is supposed to be dancing in it again.
Last weekend Tom's parents flew in to attend JT's perfomance of the King & I. He did outstanding as the King. We were so proud of him. The compliments are still coming. He says he will major in musical theater when he is ready for college. (He is only in the 8th grade... alot can change in the next few years.) While Tom's parents were here they were also able to take in a few dance performances of Jillian. She performed at the High School day of dance at Meredith College here in Raleigh, as well as she danced with the Railhawks dance team in the Raleigh's Christmas parade. (I know, these southerners do things a little backwards here.) Any way you can check out the parade at http://www.wral.com/news/local/video/4010848/ .
Let's see, a couple of weekends prior to that we spend the weekend in Greenville, NC at East Carolina University. GO PIRATES!! We traveled with her dance teacher and some friends were they took a couple of classes, took a tour and took in the football game for their Homecoming weekend. It looks as if ECU is at the top of her list so far. (We need to make sure she survives the SAT's next weekend.)
What else is going on.. Oh, how can I forget the other major thing... Jillian got her drivers license. Ugh.. Actually it is a bittersweet thing. It is nice not having to drive everyday to the dance studio, as well as, it was convenient to send her to the grocery store for last minute items on Thanksgiving morning, but...... it is completely nerve wracking waiting to get her phone call when she arrives at her destination... They tell me it will get easier, but will it really???
