I, myself, am doing college online. I tell yah, traditional classroom totally advantageous when it comes to socializing. Your boys are the adventurous, be it naughty or nice, they’ll be great socially. 😉

In reply to aprilmomoffour. Thank you for this April. I know I should be getting that ECG every year. Running has helped lower my blood pressure big time. So happy you are getting some runs in. That is awesome! :)

In reply to Carl Wright. Oh 47 is so young. I remember reading your story about that, but I didn't focus on his age. Yes! Get your ECG every year then! And I bet the running is doing you good. I went jogging the other day. I'm going to do it again tomorrow!

In the 2 years I have “known” your family April, it is really incredible to se the growth in each of the boys. Daniel does look like such a lovable boy that would just warm anyone’s heart.

So glad the boys are adjusting well to their new school environment. It is a big thing. New home, new school. A lot of this confidence they would get from the wonderful home environment you and Alan provide for them.

I am sincerely sorry about the way things turned out with the sports forms. With my dad dying at 47 of a heart attack (as well as 3 of his brothers) I am told this could very well be a hereditary thing and supposed to be getting an ECG every year, but it ends up being every 3-4 years (and that is with my wife’s insistence). My doctor knows that I run, but I don’t think he realized I am doing the distances I am now! 🙂

In reply to Wendy. Close. Very close to Florida. In, fact we went to Destin and to Disney this summer. I loved it. I ran into my gyno at the grocery store once too. Of course, he also went to my church. Congrats on your new freedom too!! Enjoy it!

It sounds like you’ve moved to Florida (I grew up there)! The southern accent thing was a big clue. 😉 That and your doctor being in your Sunday School class! That made me chuckle. Yesterday I was at the grocery store and saw my new gynecologist walk in — he saw me, too, but I quickly disappeared and hope to never run into him in public again, haha! As for making new friends, if you are in fact in the south, just smile at everyone you see and it will happen quickly! And enjoy your new state of “less busy”! This is the first fall in 14 years I haven’t been making lesson plans (first homeschool, then teaching at a private high school), and I can’t tell you how FREE it feels! 🙂

In reply to Nonna.

It is a little tough to get details out of male people. But you’d better believe I will try. Joshua came home last week excited about his reading class. His history is also ancient history, just like last year. Of course, he assured me that he “remembers nothing.” Grooooaaaan. So I got out Timeline cards and started reading them to the boys. Alan told them, “Your mom worked hard teaching y’all this stuff last year. You’ll save yourselves a lot of trouble if you just say you remember something!” So stinkin’ true. Dan looked so nervous going inside today. So adorable though!
