Well she's at the prom right now...She looked beautiful and so grown up. We met my friend Pam at the Lakehouse...pouring rain so we drove down to Crystal beach for a few pictures....

Molly's prom hairdo

Molly had her hair done this morning at Joanne Gate's salon in town. It turned out beautiful! So excited to see her tonight!

We received the agreement from David Wallace to rent the camp again for a week next summer. Thought I'd post some of the fun pictures from last year. The Noble clan had a great time and hopefully we will make this a yearly excursion!

Thursday night Molly was inducted into the National Honor Society. They had a really nice program. Today it's pouring out..dreary and damp. Yesterday we spent the day at Castleton College for the VSAC Pathways program. It was a good day, learned lots about the whole college application and financial aid process. The bad thing was that it was a beautiful sunny day and the high was 68 degrees. The snow is just about gone. My crocuses, daffodils and tulips are peaking up and just as I am writing this, Molly called me into the kitchen to find a deer nibbling at the tulips. I opened the window and yelled, but I'm sure he or she will be back. John is recovering from a sinus infection. He visited the doctor's the other day and got a prescription for Levaquin and Tussionex. At least now I can sleep (due to his coughing) He worked both nights overtime this weekend. GE's very slow. They are offering 3 month furlow time to many employees. He might consider it later in the year, closer to deer season. I'm looking forward to April, only 2 days of charge nurse duty, and less overtime shifts. (I'm sure there still will be plenty of overtime, but I can pick and choose what and when I want to do extra.)

The ticks are out already! Took austin for a walk today...muddy roads but still some snow on the ground. Later John noticed a little tick crawling up Austin's head. Yuck. First application of Revolution was applied shortly after!

Austin's "Mad Minute"

Austin got free access to the goody bag for his birthday today.

I've returned!

Well it's been a while since I've updated the blog! We are glad it's March...today is actually Austin's 12th birthday! February was definitely long and cold..I'm looking forward to warmer weather.

Today we went to Overeasy's in Cuttingsville for breakfast...it was nice to try someplace new and it was very good. Molly didn't come..she met Leanne and went to "tan" in preparation for the prom on April 4th. She found a really pretty black dress at Penney's, 3/4 length, spaghetti straps and fits perfectly. She wanted to tan a few times so she has a little color for the prom. We still have to find shoes somewhere...maybe a trip to Burlington or perhaps Crossgates in Albany. She's busy between volunteering every other Saturday and SAT's coming up in 2 weeks..then the VSAC Saturday at Castleton for juniors and parents to familiarize them about college, financial aid etc. She's looking at nursing schools, with the hope of eventually either getting her masters as a NP or going to PA school. Spring break we will be checking out UNH, University of New England, Quinnapiac, and maybe Boston School of Pharmacy and Science. Her science fair project was chosen to go to the state show at Norwich. She studied differences in heart rates of a large horse and a miniature both at different gaits. Apparently they liked it as she got 97%.

I've stopped picking up so much overtime. Only plan on 3 shifts this month. The department has been terribly busy and it gets old! I like my time off! John would like more overtime but GE has been slow...he did work extra last night but the O.T. there is slim pickings.
