Quarterly Update

okay....for all of you that have been asking....here it finally is. I apologize for not keeping this website up to date.....but it honestly isn't at the top of my priority list right now. I appreciate all of you who have emailed asking for the update. Let me just say that all is well here in southern Alabama. We have successfully finished out the school year and are enjoying our summer break. Taylor finished 9th grade and will be transitioning over to the high school (which is now actually the community college since we no longer have a high school here). He will be attending school for the next 2 years at the college and will hopefully be in the new high school building for his senior year. He had a great school year and was inducted into the National Honor Society for his grades. He also received an award at the Basketball Banquet for having the highest GPA amongst the basketball players. We are quite proud of his academic achievement. Dylan finished the 3rd grade and had the highest score out of the entire 3rd grade on the DIBELS test. He also received awards for All A's in Conduct all year, A/B Honor roll the entire year and for being the Student Government Representative for the 3rd grade. Riley finished kindergarten and was awarded for "Outstanding Academic Achievement", All A's in Conduct the entire year and also for being the Student Government Representative for his kindergarten class. Jeff also just graduated for the Advance Course and is eager to get back into the aircraft and start flying again. During his course he received word that his orders to Korea have been postponed until January of 2008. That gives him a few more months here at Rucker before he heads overseas.
Immediately after his course, Jeff headed to St Louis and loaded up my mom (and her dogs) and brought them down to Alabama. Mom is all settled into her new house and baking in the heat of the south. I told her one thing to keep in mind....."you never hear of anyone retiring and moving North"....so she must have made the right decision. Well enough rambling....let me get some pictures posted and get off this computer to start dinner for my hungry crew. We love ya'll and hope to hear from you soon!
