Despite countless trips to Sonic this summer, Eric still enjoys the variety of drink options at Sonic, trying new flavors and combinations. Yesterday, he ordered their "Ocean Water," something he and I had been curious about for months. It's essentially blue coconut flavored Sprite. (that was for Troy)

Andrew started freshmen band camp today. Eric initially thought he'd play percussion in band this year, just so he could be part of band. But he changed his mind and has decided to sit out band this fall. The doctors say to give his lungs six more months to heal, then hopefully he can try his trumpet again, possibly re-join the band second semester, and see how it goes. In the meantime, for extra-curricular activity, Eric will focus on piano and theater lessons. Next week, he's taking a musical theater class through the Children's Theater Company at the Central School here in Lake Charles.
