Tucker Kid Achievements

Good news all around for the Tucker kids this week.

Michael tried out for the Jazz Band at school and made it in. It is a little weird to me that he is getting into the music like Jake. Jake says Michael is even more of a band geek that he was at the same age. He is still playing soccer, but for now the main school activity is band.

Megan tried out for the advanced drama group at her school, and no surpirse there, made it in. She performed in Romeo and Juliet on Wednesday (Michael had a band concert the same day, so I was at band, but I heard she did marvelous!) She really enjoys the whole drama experience, and is making lots of friends.

Jake is still working here at HemoCue with me. Different departments are bringing him projects that he is pumping out. He is hopeful that this will last most of the summer anyway. He has a staff retreat for church this weekend (seems weird thinking of him as a staff member at church, but technically he is.) He is loving the youth work. He loves leading worship, and is looking into voice lessons.

With all of these accomplishments, it sounds like it's about time for a move! I told Ken all we needed to do now was to start Michael's braces and make sure they were fully paid for, then a move would be sure to come. So far....nothing. It could be that I will just have to get a higher dosage of the happy pills and stick it out here in Hell.

Jodi,

I'm so out of it I didn't even know Michael was into music. What is he playing?

We're thrilled Megan is having so much fun in theater.

How is Jake doing in school? No rush, but is he focusing on a possible major?
