My friend Lori is traveling to Egypt as part of an educator exchange program. I don't know the details, but she is keeping a blog while she is there. I think it is super cool! Check it out: Egypt Trip.

Ch,ch,ch changes

Since my last post, Olivia has turned 11 and started middle school, Bishop turned 19 and left for college and I am now in my 40's.

Bishop seems to have settled in quite well in G'vlle. He's hooked up with some people from Jax and met new people. I hear he's even cleaning the apartment.

Mitchell is a SENIOR. I should get his picture up soon. He was a sport and allowed me to get a nice picture. Then he shaved his head. Now he's talking about multi-colored liberty spikes. FUN!

Charlie is the top dog at LaVilla this year. If only his little sister wasn't there to bug him! He's taking beginning piano at school. We have a new electronic piano so that he can practice his skills at home. He's picking it up pretty quickly. All those years of voice and music theory have been good.

Olivia is making the transition to LaVilla and middle school pretty well. She's met people in the neighborhood on the bus so she's off spending the night and hanging out a lot these days. Softball has begun for her, and Brad's coaching again this year.

Hope that all is well with all of you. Send me an email and let me know: birol@bellsouth.net
