Good Times

So much is happening, so fast.  I think I'm better off just making a bulleted list to update you:
  • We are closing on the "flip" house today. 1 down, 2 to go.
  • Our contractor for the house in Shaker has been chosen, and they will begin work their soon. (painting, new light fixtures, etc.)
  • We are finalizing Scarlett's adoption tomorrow!
  • My back is messed up.  I had a really PAINFUL cortisone shot yesterday and I went for an MRI today.  I had to get up and leave as soon as they stuck me in that tube...I couldn't take it...major claustrophobia.
  • The boys' last day of school is THIS FRIDAY. I can't believe it.
  • Jake and Zach are doing great at their MANY games each weeK.
  • Coco, our insane dog who we adopted from the shelter has gone awol.  It has been 2.5 days with no sign of her. Ruby, our golden retriever is completely distraught over her sister's disappearance and has not been eating. I refer to Coco as insane b/c really, she is.  She's not mean at all but she is just a little bit cookoo.  If she were a human, she would definitely be in an institution.  Nevertheless, we love her and miss her and hope she comes home.
  • Jake had is violin recital yesterday....here a few pics.....and video.


Shannon, aka THE COOKIE MAMA, made these adorable cookies for the kids....





Mrs. Diane, the most wonderful violin teacher in the world, presented Jake with his "Superior Ranking" from his participation and performance in the last violin festival.  One more and he will receive a gold cup, which is really excited about.




This is Jake's very best friend, William.  Their days together are numbered as our move date of July 9th is fast approaching.  Not sure what these two boys will do without each other. :(



Here's the finale, with the whole group doing the fiddle tune "Boil the Cabbages". I dare you not to tap your foot.
