I just had to share a few highlights of our crazy, busy week with you:
While Liz and Kendall have been enjoying their MCT drama camp this week, Mariel has begun vision therapy for her eye focusing problem and I have driven Phillip around to a haircut, job interview, and finally to get his Driver’s License!!! (He only missed two questions, so he beat Jenny’s score—which is really all that matters right? Ha! Just kidding.) We also got Phillip’s Congressional Record book in the mail to D.C. for his Silver Medal which represents almost 250 hours of voluntary public service on his part.
And then…..Phillip just received a phone call from the library, where he interviewed, and they offered him the part time job!!! Whoo Hoo! And Praise the LORD!!!
Now, in a couple of hours I get to traverse the city in my van (once again) to go pick up 5 of our summer-reading refugee girls so they can attend Liz’s play with our family tonight!!! I think it will be as much fun to watch their faces glow as to watch the play. There were dozens of them that wanted to come along but I only had so many extra seats in the car and so much money for tickets. I will take some pictures and pass them along later.
We have barely been home, the house is trashed, the young girls are bickering, and I am tired but rejoicing in what has been accomplished.
Just had to share the joy,
Angela
editorial note: The 5 girls dwindled into 3 when it came time to transport them to the play but they all had a great time and we were able to get a refund on the 2 unused tickets.
