Hello

Hey all,

Nothing much is new to report. I am anxiously waiting for spring to arrive! Spring break is 3/23-3/27...it starts on Emily's 3rd birthday. I am in shock that she will be 3 already...where did the last three years go?! She is finally potty-trained...except for #2...but that will come soon. She told me yesterday when I asked her what she wanted for presents : "LOTS". Tom asked her how old she was going to be...she knows she will be 3 and she held up 5 fingers and told him "5". Already she is wising that she was older :)

Tom is taking Patrick and Tyler to Wash. DC over spring break...what should I do with the other three? I am thinking I might take them to INDY...or else we may just do day trips...who knows.

Patrick will be confirmed in April so no more religion classes for him...yeah!!! He is busy picking his classes for next year...a Junior already! Tyler and I went to his 9th gr. orientation at the high school last week. I have never been ditched so fast in my life!!!! He was gone before I even was out of the car...what's with that? I am such a "cool" mom! He has signed up for all honors classes for next year...I hope he does good, I told him it would be a lot more homework and studying than this year.

Ben is excited because next year he will be moving to the brand new middle school. The year after to high school, that means that he will be in 4 different schools over a 4 year period...he thinks that is cool. Ryan will have one more year at Newburgh Elementary and then he will move to the new middle school for 6th grade. Currrently, Ben and Ryan are working on putting a band together. They have 2 guitar players and 1 drummer, I keep telling them that they need a keyboardist and Ben told me I should do it! At least he thinks I am cool! The lead guitar is Ben, Ryan is the drummer and Tanner-a neighbor, is the 2nd guitar player. It should be interesting they are practicing almost every day!

I need to go now, I wish you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day...stay green!
