It's been a while

Well, it has been a looooong time since I posted anything. I'm sure that anyone who used to read this (not that there were many) have long since abandoned hope of new material. And who can blame them? Certainly not me.

Why exactly did I quit posting? I think it is the lack of time, and lack of anything interesting to post. See---this post is proof!

Of course, too much time has passed to try to catch up. Perhaps I will just begin right here and now. You can fill in the blanks.

Emily applied for a spot in a national science program. She had also applied last year and made the semi-finalists--the ones who got a phone interview. However, she did not make the final cut. Their loss. She sent in another application this year, and I believe it was even stronger. However, we have not heard anything and the days keep passing by. I guess that means that they are not interested. I am disappointed, as I know she is. But, maybe this is just not the program for her. Next year she will be eligible for a completely different program, one that is probably more suited to her strengths. So, we shall try that.

Anna has grown so much! She is now volunteering at the library and they just love her there! This summer she will travel to New Mexico to participate in a Girl Scout program there. I am so excited for her! And proud! It's hard to believe that whe is so grown up. What happened to my baby?
