Well, Chris offically left yesterday. We had not been sure of the exact day. Michelle called today and she saw Chris off yesterday. She has driven to Ft. Stewart 5 times due to not knowing exactly when he was leaving. Tomorow is the last day of school for their children. Chris will be in middle school next year. It's hard to believe. All of the children did well in awards. I can't remember them all. I know that Mandi was #2 for the first and second grades in reading. I'll let Michelle brag about all of it, but we are proud of them. When my Chris was saying goodby to the children, when he told little Chris that he was proud of him, Little Chris' response was "I'm proud of you too Daddy." At that my Chris said that he lost it. I couldn't talk when Michelle called me today so when I called her back, she was in the dentist office with Christopher. A boy at school hid him in the mouth and broke off one of his front teeth. The same boy had hit him earlier in the year and had broken his glasses. The school said that the mother was going to pay for the bill for the dentist. Michelle is thinking about pressing charges against him.
She and the children will be leaving to come here for a few days early Saturday morning. We had a week at Massenutten scheduled starting tomorrow through next Friday and her original plan was for us to go there. But the dentist visit delayed their leaving and they were only going to stay a few days, so Gene and I suggested that we stay here and do things rather than taking that much more time traveling.
Christie, we still plan to come for a short time on Saturday, because Michelle and children will not arrive until at least six or later. I'm having a senior moment and I can't remember what I said I would bring. Was it potato salad?
Howie was very surprised last weekend for his surprise graduation party. He said he didn't have a clue. Everything was very nice and the rain delayed until later in the day. We had some good barbeque.
Looking forward to seeing all Saturday.
