Here are updates on the kids:

N started CCNN today! He will be on TV every third week. Today he read the weather report and will tomorrow too. Hopefully as the weeks go by, the kids will play more of a role in creating the content, but this week they are basically reading a script. N was nervously excited this morning and I think that tomorrow he will be less nervous and more excited.

We had a 90-minute FaceTime with A tonight, which was great. Things are definitely up and down in NY but she's keeping a good attitude and has started classes. Also – BIG NEWS – she was cast in a movie! A real movie. It's unclear whether she will be allowed to do it because she is not allowed unexcused absences. She is going to talk to her advisor tomorrow. It's still huge news and a great affirmation of her talent! Here we are on FaceTime:

She wasn't unhappy when the screenshot was taken; it was just the particular moment.

Finally, M is getting stuff done, running errands, seeing people, etc. On Thursday she is leaving for the east coast farewell tour, so we won't get to see her much after tomorrow. 🙁 She had brunch with Grampy on Monday and is seeing Grandma Sandy tomorrow. It has been great having her home this week. I do not want her to leave.
