Jeremy has had some exciting things happen this last week. He went in for his 90 day review and his boss decided to give him a $1.50/hour raise! That definitely has allowed us to feel like we can breathe again. Jeremy also finished his summer class this week. Yeah for 1 1/2 months of no homework! He can work 8 - 4 and be home the rest of the evening without having to do homework! We sure will enjoy the extra time with him. The last day of class, Jeremy's teacher pulled him aside. He told Jeremy that he has a real talent for advertising design (the topic of the class.) Jeremy came home beaming with pride. Jeremy loves this teacher, so he was thrilled that someone he admires told him that he is really good at something. Since he loved the class, he is rethinking the kind of graphic design work he wants to do when he graduates. This teacher also gave Jeremy some contact information about an internship at an advertising agency. Jeremy will look into it and see what kind of experience he can get from this opportunity. So we might not have him home so early in the evening after all. But we'll keep you posted on how this opportunity goes. He hasn't even called the guy yet (he's supposed to do that today.) But I am so proud of Jeremy with how good he is at what he does. I love seeing his self esteem rise and how he can see that his work is good too.
On Saturday, June 13, we had a Beck Family race.
All of Clara's cousins were there. Clara loves to run, especially with other kids, so I thought she would enjoy the race. She really wasn't sure what was going on, but loved running with the other kids. When it came time for her to cross the finish line, she got scared and didn't ever break the tape. Oh well. Silly girl. 
She did love her prize though. She got a cool new necklace, and a ball that lights up when you throw it. Clara hasn't put her ball down since she got it. 
It was raining before the race began and Clara got to hold Grandma's umbrella. It made us laugh that you could only see her little legs.
She also got a pretty big bump this last week. I'm not ever sure what happened. We were playing outside and Clara was sitting at the top of some cement steps. She started crying and when I looked, she had bent over, but was still sitting. So I came to check her out and found this: 
Within half an hour or so you couldn't even see the bump anymore. The bruise is still there though.
