The Kassel Family Project Life 365

Admittedly, John has been a little forgotten these last few months. Having an older sibling in their Senior Year of high school and then going off to college is hard. John was a trooper and just went with it, but he was second and he knew it. He even told us that we should have been focused on Laura, but we still felt like we were neglecting him more than we should have.

Now, that Laura is settled at SEMO, it is time to bring John to the center and focus on him because he is just as important. So, we stopped by the end of marching band practice tonight to watch him. I know this, but I am still amazed every time I watch John. He is a fantastic marcher, and he looks great on the field. The Hickman High School Marching Band sounded great, and their show is not yet done. I cannot wait to see the rest of the show! The season begins on Friday!

Laura’s dorm room is completed. Pillow Jim has a new home on her bed, and the bed skirt and closet curtains are hung.

The floor rug is in place, and the chair covers are on the desk chairs.

The storage ottomans have been delivered, and posters and pictures are on the walls. She even took one of her plants down.

Laura has a few other posters that she wants to hang on either side of the window, but her dorm room feels like “home”.

When the kid misses Jim while at college, you get her, “Pillow Jim.”

I may not particularly enjoy shopping with these two, but I sure do love watching them together.
