Lots Going On..(1 day!)

Matthew went back to school on Tuesday and did pretty well.  Got the letter from the surgeon, no more PE for the rest of the year! The teacher has chosen to have Matthew go to another classroom during PE so he won't have any chance of getting hurt. He is slowly getting his homework done, with the help of his sisters.  They have been really great. Matt's recovery is steady.  He did stay home on Thursday when he woke up very tired and sore. It helped to stay home and rest most of the day. Grandma W picked him up from school today and they had Taco Bell together!  Matthew was very happy. Thanks for all of your prayers.

Activities this week included the arrival of Grandma and Grandpa W,  end of the year theatre banquet, Baccalaureate and tonight we went to a Whitecaps baseball game.  Grandma and Grandpa arrived Wednesday afternoon just after Mary and I whipped up some bulkoogi to marinate for a day.  Mary had to work, but the rest of us ate at Big Boy and then headed over to the high school for the theatre awards.  Matthew was inducted into the International Thespian Society and received  a pin, while Mary received her senior award and accumulated 83 points over her years at Greenville.  Thursday afternoon we finished up making the rest of our Korean meal.  Brandon came over for the afternoon and joined us for dinner. Kudos to him for watching over the beef cooking, so it didn't get too chewy.  The meal was delicious and we had little leftovers.  Thursday evening was Baccalaureate and it was a very nice service.  Jeff led the prayer, another "pastor dad" read from Matthew and yet another pastor dad gave the message.   The whole evening ended with ice cream at Charley's. Tonight's baseball game was a lot of fun. I was glad we only had a few sprinkles. Funny with those few rain drops Mary counted 25 umbrellas go up! Sarah made a new little friend. A cute little boy kept coming over  and  hanging out with her. It was so cute. Whitecaps won 9-4 with two homers and a triple that cleared the bases. Again our evening ended with snacks or ice cream at McDonald's this time.

Mary has only two days to graduation. She ordered a computer for college and received it yesterday. It made some funny sounds, so we drove into Grand Rapids and went to Best Buy and the Apple Store. Sarah bought some things for her computer and new iPod touch.  Mary took her computer into the Apple store about some loud sounds while loading the disc.  They ended up exchanging it out with a new one. It is much quieter. While we were in the mall we went to sears and found a new dress for her graduation. It is white and very cute.  She continues to tutor two students and teach cello lessons. Tomorrow she will be back McDonalds for another 3 hour shift.

This afternoon we will attend a few graduation open houses, and get ready for graduation.  I thought about going out for lunch to celebrate my birthday a day early, but Mary thinks we should celebrate together on Sunday. Looks like dinner will be at Red Lobster. Gotta love those biscuits! Time is flying by now, and before I know it all the fun will be over and our family will be gone and I will be sad, just like after Christmas.

Guess that is all...I will try to update again soon.

Gracie!
