Well, one of the things I was thinking would be time consuming this week did turn out to be that way. Bill had his high school senior pictures taken today. I got up this morning, ate breakfast, helped him pick out which clothes he wanted to wear, de-cat-hairded and ironed the clothes, then went with him to the photography studio. Everything went well, and the weather cooperated for the pictures of him in his varsity jacket next to the river which runs through a beautiful park in the middle of town. I think the outdoor pictures~ of him sitting and/or standing on one of the bridges over the river, standing next to some trees next to the river, and standing next to the little brick antique one-roomed schoolhouse in the park ~ will all turn out great. For the studio shots he wore his wrestling warm ups, a nice sweater of his dad's, the soccer sweatshirt with his name embroidered on it, and a suit (depending on the picture).

Tomorrow Stevie and I have to run some errands for Bill while he has to work with his father (we have to buy him a couple of things for his trip, pick up a refill on his prescription, and also run some errands in general like dropping off Steven's trumpet for a good cleaning). Friday night we'll all be heading to Detroit for dinner at Greektown and a Tigers game.

Saturday we will pack up for Bill, and I will give him a crash course on how to use his new digital camera.

Sunday will be the last minute packing (no matter how careful you are, there always seems to be some) and I will be working. It's Father's Day as well.

Monday I get to drive my baby to Detroit Metro airport and watch him fly off to another continent! I will probably have to call in late to work in order to stay with him until he goes through customs.

Its so cool that the kids havea chance to visit France and Spain as a school trip. We sure never got a chance to do anything like that in high school when I was his age.
