Update on Jason

Jason finally got his driving permit...I tease him and tell people to stay off the road now! ha! He was a bit worried to take the test because it's been so long since he had driver's ed but he did fine. He snatched the keys away from me right away and drove us away from the DMV. He's not happy about driving a stick shift but I told him he just needs practice and he'll be fine.

He's in 11th grade this year, taking general college classes along with his high school classes. Only 3 years to go.




Update on Alex

Alex is really enjoying college life. He's focusing on philosophy, creative writing and
Japanese. So far he really likes his classes and teachers. He did say that college English classes are a lot harder than high school!

Sunday he went with some friends along the Appalachian Trail for a few hours. He's meeting all kinds of wonderful new people and doing new things which is wonderful.

Tomorrow he's getting a new roommate. He got along fine with his old one but Derrick met a guy with whom he has more in common who was not getting along with his roommate who has
more in common with Alex...whew! Alex isn't concerned. He's pretty much going with the flow.
