2008 the year we join the 21st century. The year started for us at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis on New Years Day, Kent and I, Rachel and Jeremy joined a sold-out crowd to watch "Wicked." It was an incredible way to start out the new year, even if it was freezing cold. The play couldn't have been any better. Thanks to Jessitron who gave Re and me tickets for our birthday, and made the trek to the Fox to pick them up before Christmas.
Rachel has not only been accepted to Mizzou at Columbia, she has also been accepted into their highly acclaimed School of Journalism, no small feat as a freshman. Grandmarti and Pa would be so proud of her.
Seth finishes middle school this year, and heads to Crow Canyon immediately afterwards for the big Leap finale. Another Hefley grandchild to follow the tradition. Jessi was in the first group to go.
Kent is going 90 to nothing as usual. He leaves this Thursday for California to see his paternal grandmother whom he hasn't seen since he was a young boy. Her health is starting to fail and wants to reconnect with family that his stepfather ostracized them from. He's also looking forward to his sister Kelly joining him for the long weekend. This will make the adventure even better.
I'm teaching my classes as usual and trying to keep up with everyone and everybody. Not an easy task. Sad that Celia and girls weren't able to make it here for Christmas break. Hopefully they can make it here this spring. Looking forward to Evy's 3rd birthday. This grandmother thing is way better than I ever imagined. Time just goes even faster than it did when my kids were little though. Before we know it Lindy Lou will be coming for week long visits like Evy does now.
That's all for now folks. Leave me comments so I know if it's worth the trouble.

mamacatitron! I love it! This is great.
yay, I love blogs! I keep them on my favorite lists, and check every time I'm on the computer for a new update...I have Jessi's, Sean Schroeder's, and mine on the list. It's a great way to keep up to date with what's going on with the people you love so much and don't get to see hardly ever! And of course, you don't have to send out stuff to everyone in the universe; you can just post and go!
My blog I've found to be a good place to write if there's something I need to talk about (like Benny, etc) I guess it's the writing-is-therapeutic thing...Mom and Dad strike again!
I think my kids sent you a card yesterday. We were happy to get our presents!!
BTW, loved the pix from Kent's site, especially the ones of the house, they are awesome. I reeeeally wish I had a digital camera. I have a funny story for you and Kent about Nick but it'll have to go in an email- too long.
love you lots!
your littlest sis,
Cheri grace, aka Squirt
I finally read both your blog and Cheri's too. They are both great, so I guess I will start one too. I love you'all! Celia
