Oldest Daughter has been accepted at the local university but will be living in the dorms. Good for her, good for us since she's entering that age when she wants to have her own kingdom instead of living in mine.
Middle Daughter is a sophomore in high school but in junior level French. She's been selected for the French National Honor Society. There's a ceremony at the high school tonight so I'll be there. She's a great student and has had quarters when she's received a grade of A+.
Youngest Daughter is doing indoor soccer and outdoor soccer starts at the end of the month. She's also started to realize the correlation between organization and success at school. She's on top of her homework and is able to do stuff for extra credit because she's not waiting until the last minute to do her homework.
Son is on break now at school but seems to be doing well with his classes, work, and living with his girlfriend.
Posted by bbarton at April 6, 2005 02:29 PMYeah, I love posts like this; congratulations to your kids, Bob. You and BW must just sit back sometimes and think, "Yes. We've done something good here." (I'm guessing.)
Posted by: Deirdre on April 7, 2005 10:10 AMThanks, Deirdre. We try to sit back and think about the good so we can deal with the occasional bad. :)
Posted by: Bob on April 7, 2005 10:15 AMYeah, plus, they're hot -- no surprise given BW. OD must just about be approaching legal age... Bwa ha ha ha ha! I can't wait for the day we're hanging out at BNG in Durham checking out hottie co-eds and OOPS! that's your daughter!

Posted by: Bob on April 7, 2005 03:20 PMHi Bob! I've mislaid your e-mail address but I just wanted to tell you that I've been reading through your archives, right from the beginning and have enjoyed myself immensely. Your food & wine and children posts are my absolute favourites. It's always so helpful to get a masculine point of view about certain things! Keep up the good work (smiley face)!
