A great occasion to celebrate Eric's success...

April Showers shed new light

Who would have guessed things would start to take the shape that they have so far this month? We switched up our family Easter plans to accomodate Eric's first paid gig. He was part of a small ensemble that played for two services at the church we have annually visited for several years for piano recitals. We landed new tenants almost instantly and squared away those plans for next month.  Jesse was inducted into the Junior National Honor Society. During the ceremony which contained candle lighting, the power briefly went out. Today we ventured out to Steel City Con in Monroeville. It was filled with interesting things and people and we had a good time. Jess got 36 comic books and Eric got 4 Transformers. I saw my flower girl (15 yrs later), caught a glimpse of Noah Wylie & John Schneider and got my picture taken with the lovable Chewbacca. Tomorrow Jesse will be playing the church hymns which is a first time event as well. We are very excited about that. Eric's National Honor society induction will be later this month too.  We are proud that they both exude the 5 key fundamental values of Character, Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and  Citizenship. Lots of good things happening...much love, light and growth.
