Why we've missed B.

Last week, while the girls were on spring break, B was all but absent from our home.  He left home each morning at 5:45 to go to seminary and returned some time between 9:30 and 10:30 pm each night.  Then on Saturday he was gone from 8 am until 11 pm.  Here is why.

Reason #1:
Track practice went from optional 1 or 2 day a week practices to mandatory 5 day a week practices that start after school and end at 5 pm.

Reason #2
He was stage manager for the High School production of "The Mikado" and had to be at all of the final rehearsals and of course, the performances.  Here he is at the light board which he programed and then ran during the performances. 

Reason #3
Mock Trial is in full swing and their first competition was this last Saturday. 

 Last minute prep before the judge arrives.

 Conferring with his coach and team mate (the witness he will direct examine.)

 More last minute prep.

 

He did a great job as a lawyer for the defense, earning 5/5 for his direct examination and 4/5 for his cross.  He had the highest combined score of the 6 lawyers on his team, and helped his team achieve the first seed spot in the regional competition.  (Something they've never done before.)

We're glad he had a such a fun week but are looking forward to him being a little less busy now that the musical is finished.  The best quote of last week came from P at dinner on Wednesday night when she said, "Where, is B?  I haven't seem him for days."

He was missed.
