Weekly Update
Zoe and Owen auditioned last weekend for parts in a production of "Oliver!" Zoe got the part of Fagin and Owen will be a Fagin's boy. They will rehearse for the next six months with the production in April next year. So now they have to go to rehearsals every Sunday afternoon so we will be in a rush after church.
I talked to Sarah tonight and we are finalizing travel plans for her and Dorothy next week. Hopefully things will be ok and they will connect in London. Dorothy is very excited and making some plans for what they will do in Paris.
Meanwhile, there is a lot of crap happening in Paris these days - it's been on the news that protests are going on. I hope it will be safe when they are there next week. Yikes!
I talked to an old friend today - her daughter was Sarah's best friend for many years, since kindergarten. It was nice to catch up and we planned on taking the girls out during the Christmas holidays.
Dorothy's real birthday will be this Tuesday -- I hope we can go out for a nice dinner that night. I can't believe she will be 22. I am really getting old. heh. oh well... I feel pretty good about it all so far.
We took down the big dog crate today - Suki doesn't need it - and it's not working for Oscar. He is not getting the whole "crate training" thing. Instead, we set up his smaller crate and it will be for him only now. He has to figure out the training issue - and soon - or he will not be with us past Christmas. He is about six months old - Eric keeps saying "I thought poodles were the smartest breed". So we are having a toilet training, crate training blitz this week to see if we can make it stick.
We are currently awaiting report cards - anxiously for some - not so much for others. Hopefully we will get them soon.
