So I haven't really updated the blog with much news lately...and there's been some.
Andy was accepted for a summer internship up at Stevens Institute in New Jersey.
He's very excited and we're very proud of him. He's really worked much harder this year at school and its nice to see him get rewarded. Kellie, on the other hand, did not get accepted for her summer music internship in Ohio. She was a little disappointed, but is moving on and hopes to audition for another program being offered this summer in the Tampa area.
This past Sunday was Mother's Day, of course, and we tried our best to make sure that Kim had a nice day (which doesn't mean that I cooked or anything silly like that though).
We took her out for dinner a couple of days before the holiday smart aleck!
Anyway, I would certainly be remiss in not mentioning MY MOM, who of course is absolutely terrific and one of my favorite people in the whole world.
But she knows that....because I tell her that all the time....and I'm not afraid to let her know how much I love her and how much she means to me.
We visited the cemetary to leave some flowers on the gravesite of Kim's Mom, who I never had the opportunity to meet, much to my disappointment. Kim says she was really a wonderful person...and its my loss. Kellie went with us and it got us discussing our future and our own mortality and such...which can be a little depressing, but is also important to talk about with your kids I think.
I also received some sad news regarding the health of my Aunt Ruby, who is my mother's older (and only) sister. She is just an amazing woman...and I'm thinking lots of good thoughts for her in the upcoming weeks and months as she fights a tough fight.
Aunt Ruby.....you can only guess at the impact you have made on my life and on the lives of so many other people. We love you very much.
Later,
Jeff
