Just Rambling

Jarrett will soon be taking the 1st of 3 TAKS tests that he has to take in 4th grade. We were recently notified that based on his scores from last year, Jarrett was nominated to participate in Duke University's Talent Identification Program. Yay Jarrett! He also again qualified to be in the "Cool Cat Club" this grading period, since he made straight A's and met the other criteria necessary to participate.

Danny is doing well and hasn't had any exacerbations from the brain lesions in awhile. He is supposed to go back for a repeat MRI in a few months to see if there are any changes in the brain. We are believing for a clean scan! He has a new-ish job with a counseling ministry and really loves it, as this is another step towards his dream of what he really wants to be doing career-wise.

I have started working on info for my family tree and really enjoying the research so far. After inquiring into it, my mom and I decided to request my grandfather's military awards/decorations and records from his service during WWII. We are anxious and excited to see what response we'll get. He served as an Army medic, and chose not to carry a weapon during his service in the war.

Well, I guess that's it for now. Thanks for continuing to check in!
