To see a new IPod sitting on the coffee table when we got back from Mass tonight;-) The look on his face was priceless. I wish I had thought to have the camera ready.
He has been working really hard at everything....his schoolwork, his music, helping out around the house, stepping up as leader at youth group. Not to mention his room is almost clean. He has really matured this year. This weekend, for example. Friday night it was pouring rain, and he *could* have gotten out of serving soup after Stations at church. (I was kind of hoping he didn't want to go out in the rain. I sure didn't) Yesterday he spent the day at Derek's practicing the songs for the battle of the bands later this month, then got up at 6:30 this morning to serve from 8-12 at the pancake breakfast the Knights of Columbus put on. He had a 3 hour break, then back for youth group, choir practice & Mass.
We were going to save the IPod until school is out, but since he and I leave for L.A. on Wednesday for youth day/religious ed. convention, I decided he needed the IPod now (because I want to use my cd player this week. Selfish reasons, lol)
Besides, he is a good kid and deserves it;-)
Ok, I am finished bragging about my son for the moment.
But I am a lucky mom.
*Grin*

Wow - he is a lucky boy! And you are a lucky mom. :)
I am lucky. He really is a good teenager (is that an oxymoron?)
We were going to get the IPod for Christmas, but they were all sold out. We got a better deal by waiting anyway....4G for about the 2G price at Costco, by using our rebate check.
Wow, that's awesome. I'm almost as proud of him as you are! :)
Shelly, can you email me? pleytimer at yahoo dot com
Great deal on the iPod too!
Have a great trip to LA.
