House of Boe "Goings On" ... Happy Valentines Day!!

We hope this note/update finds all of you doing wonderfully and enjoying the Valentine weekend! We have had a very busy week, but enjoyed a wonderful Friday evening. Caitlyn has been involved in the Model UN program for the 2nd year. Its quite a program and she enjoys it.  This year her country is Portugal.  This year her friend from school, Dana, joined her at the program and they've had a great time.  Here is a pic they took while on their lunch break.

 

They look like they could be sisters, don't they!  Since Dan and I both work in downtown Norfolk he took the girls to lunch today while I worked and then brought me lunch from Tropical Smoothie:)   The girls had a dance this evening with the rest of the attendees at the Norfolk Sheraton.  In the meantime, Dan and I went for a beautiful "early" Valentines dinner at a restaurant called Press 626 & Wine Bar in Ghent.  It was wonderful and beyond our expectations!  Our waiter, Scott Boom Boom, was great and the food was phenomenal!  We will definately go back.

Cat took her SAT for the first time in January as a Sophomore to get accustomed to the test and be prepared for her Junior year.  We just got her test results back and she got a 1510 without any studying or prep.  We are very proud of her!  She will be able to study more from this test for this summer and her Junior year.

Cat will get her license on April 5th.  Pretty amazing to think that she will be able to drive herself to school.  I am pretty sure that means Dan/I get to sleep in one more hour in the morning ... since we wont have to drive her to the school bus anymore!!! :)  yeahh!!!  I know ... I know ... "drive her to the bus ... she is 16 yrs old" ... the problem is that she has to be there by 6am (before its light out), 1 mile from the house, .5 mile from a convicted sex criminal AND next to a wooded area .... so we get up an hour early and drive her to the bus stop.  20yrs ago we didn't have so much information and kids got themselves to school ... walk/skate/bike ride or skip but as long as you left the house the parents were in the clear :)

Caitlyn will be at her Model UN program tomorrow and has a soccer game tomorrow evening.  On Sunday she has her indoor soccer game with her team "Kaos" at 10:20am and then she and I have an indoor game at 12noon.  This will be my first indoor game (let alone soccer game at all) so I will admit that I am very nervous.  I skipped out of our first 2 games due to snow ... I sure wish it would snow tomorrow night!!!!  Fortunately Dan and I have Monday off for Presidents Day ... so I will have time to heal my "soccer wounds" :)  Hopefully, I don't try to grab the ball with my hands like I did previously ... I just to have to remember "NO HANDS" ... hopefully I don't embarrass Caitlyn or Dan :)  We'll see ... I can't promise photos, but I will let you know how it goes :)

Happy Valentines Day!
Dan, Heidi and Cat :)
