love the pics.....love the girls....miss you guys.
smiling -- my eldest proclaims he is a terrible writer, and his English teacher says he writes, "Just enough to get by." No interest. I was sad. Until this year when his World History teacher told him to create his own myth and write about it. 8 pages later...he couldn't stop, and it was GOOD. I think there's something cool and strong about our kids when they don't put forth effort in an area that holds no interest for them. I know that sounds completely wrong. But if we can relax and have confidence in them...there will be a moment when they bloom in their own gardens. I love it.
Never turns in homework. I'm laughing.
Oh, I love that...bloom in their own gardens!
