The Big E, food services and FINALLY getting a job!

So it has been a busy month here in the Gentry household.
Christian has been attending school two whole days a week thanks to all the wonderful Jewish holidays that he gets off. This has allowed him lots of time to write and work on the various projects he has going on. He always like to take on way more than he can chew, but he always manages to come through with beautiful work after all the blood, sweat and tear. He is an inspiration to us all! He is loving school at Brandeis and is enjoying his fellow composers and professors. He finally got a calling in church to be the accompanist to the ward choir, this he believes will help brush up his site reading skills. (lets hope so!)
Laci has been working her temp job the last three weeks. It has been a VERY interesting experience to say the least. She has been working in the food services department of the Cambridge Public Schools. By the looks of how things went she doesn't think they have ever had a temp that had to many mad skills like she does. They were very impressed with her work of entering in over 3,500 applications for free/ reduced school lunch and mailing out all the letters to the parents letting them know if they were approved or not. It is very exciting work and I can tell that you are all jealous. This opportunity made it possible for Laci to really get down the Boston accent as all the employees are locals and it was quite a treat as you can imagine. On her last day the office bought her 1/2 dozen cupcakes with a nice Thank you card. It really was a blessing for Laci to be earning a little money but more importantly to get her out of the house and give her something to do each day so she didn't go CRAZY! The best news of the month came a week ago when she was FINALLY offered a job! Yeah, applause, cheers! She will be working for a company called ETHOS which works with the elderly population. She will be doing elder protective services and is thrilled to be back doing social work even with a new and exciting population. She has realized that before when people would say to her, "You job must be so fulfilling." she was like sure, yeah it is what I do. But after doing work with is not so much on the fulfilling side she truly understands that social work is fulfilling and she LOVES doing it. She starts her new job on Ocotober 1,2007!
Laci has also joined a soccer team called the Worthless and Weak which is pretty much what the team is but they are doing pretty well considering none have ever played together and many have not played at all. Of coarse Laci has played the staring role as goalie and has had some amazing saves if I do say so myself! She loves to look to the sidelines to see Christian and McDuff cheering her on. It is amazing to see how McDuff stares at his mom the entire game. He knows her movements and his eyes don't leave her at all. So cute!
Laci and Christian recently took a trip to the Big E in West Springfield, MA. What is the Big E you may ask. It is the six New England states fair. it is HUGE and all the fair and fun one could ever want. It was a great time and fun to see what all the other states have to offer.
McDuff is a good boy, he has been enjoying his walks but is nervous about this thing called snow that he hears could stop his outside walks completely! He has won the hearts of all his neighbors and has benefits greatly from the experience by getting lots of love and treats. He still loves to go on car rides, walks and chase the squirls in the backyard. His new favorite activity is going to his mommy's soccer games and watching her run around on a lot of grass. He has gotten into trouble due to the mailman slipping the mail through the door slot and he just couldn't resist from eating it. (Mail just tastes so good!)

All seems to be going well!
Go Red Sox!
