Can 2008 Really Be Near?!!!!
T’was a night in November when in the Bianco house,
I was sitting at my computer, my hand on the mouse…
NOW WAIT A MINUTE, CAN IT REALLY BE,
THAT ANOTHER YEAR HAS SNUCK UP ON ME?!!!
How could this happen? The year flew by way too quick!
It’s hard to believe ― has my mind played a trick?!!!
Alas but it’s true and now we want to tell all we are fine,
As the new year is near, here’s Bianco poem number nine!Becky’s a senior at Montville Township High School,
She drives now ― which is both scary and kind of cool.
She keeps very busy, with classes, mentoring, and working for pay,
School and college apps cause her to go to sleep at 2AM many a day.
Becky falls asleep mid-sentence on her computer ― her energy can’t last,
Waking up at 8PM, she’ll think its morning and eat her breakfast!Becky was FBLA NJ state champion in Accounting I,
She placed ninth at Nationals in Chicago and had lots of fun.
Becky is intense and hard working, but she still finds ways,
To make time for Scrabble with Mom and to fence with Dad some days.
Last summer, Becky volunteered in a Hunter College lab for Chemistry,
She commuted into New York City every day along with me.

Julia has been quite involved with Girl Scouts and mentoring,
She went to San Diego as a Toy Challenge finalist last spring.
She also visited England and Scotland as a Student Ambassador,
She toured London, old castles, Loch Ness and so much more.
Julia’s Halloween costume was easier than in the past, although,
She still was original dressing in black as her friend’s shadow!
Julia’s Bat Mitzvah was October 6th this past year,
She chanted beautifully and her speeches were thoughtful and clear,
That Julia had such a nice singing voice came as quite a surprise,
The rest of us cannot carry a tune, you must realize.
We’re so proud to see her grow up so much, although I will wager,
That it’s still a wonder to most that she is now a teenager!We used to think “The years 2007 through ten, BEWARE!”
For we will have TWO teenage daughters under our care.
However, thus far it has not been so bad,
The girls are good kids and for that we are glad.Last spring we all went on a trip to Whistler, BC,
It was so beautiful out there, so much terrain to ski.
Mike and Becky were crazy skiers and could not get enough,
While Julia and I found the terrain and all that snow really tough.

Now on to Mike and me, there is not a whole lot more to say,
I passed my last exam, so I can use the letters CFA**.
Mike is still into road as well as mountain biking,
But being pulled along on the tandem is more to my liking.
As always, we hope that you enjoyed our little update,
Please keep in touch and tell us what you have been up to of late!
