Time Flys

Okay . . .so where did the last year go??? For that matter where did the past 5 years go???? I already miss them. I miss the little girl who fought me "tooth and nail" when I wanted her to wear a certain outfit. Now, she tells me what to wear! I miss my little boy who had his fort under his loft bed surrounded by blanket walls doing his secret James Bond stuff with his walkie-talkies. Now, he is seriously thinking of college majors that will help him get into the CIA. He keeps telling me he only has four years of high school and then he needs his life planned out! Where did the time go . . . no I'm not losing my memory yet - it is just I cannot believe that these years have gone by so quickly. So to update you . . . Justin is 14 now, in the 8th grade, ASB President of his school, and has the lead in this year's musical "Bugsy". He is in the singing/performing/competition all men's group "Showmen" and the school's show/concert mixed choir, "Showcase" and takes voice lessons. He is in all honors classes, except one and getting all As and Bs. He is ice skating and hopes to join a hockey team soon! Keeps this chauffeur hopping. Andrea is 12 and in the 7th grade. She is extremely social - for you teachers out there - you know what that means! She loves, loves, loves, her friends and talking to them. She finally has become the fashionista, however a fickle one. I can attest to that each time I look in her closet and see clothes she has had for months - still with tags on them. She has discovered "favorite stores"- and it is not Target. Most of her favs are at the mall. She is a good student and loves school. She, too takes voice lessons, and is in the show/concert choir. She loves that her brother is the school President - she claims it has made her very popular this year!She has done a little "mommy assisting babysitting" and plans to do more - which will come in handy as her fashion shopping becomes increasingly more expensive! They still fight, love and can't stand live without each other. Everyone says this is normal! Next time I will include pics! I promise!
