Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy!!!!

I get the boys back today!!!!  Woo Hoo!!!

It's been 5 long days since I last had the boys. (It really seems like longer to be honest.)  I am now in a state of anticipation.

Today is a school holiday, and all of the students had their parent teacher meetings today.  Lori and I met with Christopher's teacher this morning at 9:30am, and it could not have gone better.  Christopher is doing wonderful in his class, and he is excelling in everything.  I am so proud of him.

After Christopher's meeting, I met Lori and Aidan at his school for Aidan's conference.  His was done a bit differently, as he was expected to basically give a presentation to us about his progress.  After that, each of his 7 teachers came by our table to meet with us.  It also went very well, and Aidan is doing fantastic in school.  Again, I could not be more proud.

Since it is Monday, I was scheduled to get the kids, but Dianne (Lori's mother) is in town, so I agreed to let them spend the afternoon visiting with her.  It was difficult, because it's been so long since they were over here last, but I just felt like it was the right thing to do.  Lori will be dropping them off at the house at 5:00pm this afternoon, and I am certainly looking forward to it.

After they get here, at some time this evening, we are going to go out and get Aidan a Navy Blazer, Khakis, a dress shirt and a tie.  He has his first Cotillion on Sunday afternoon, and he is really looking forward to it.  To be honest, so am I.  It's just another step along the ladder of growing up.  It will certainly help him with his manners, and most importantly, teach him to treat and respect girls.  The socialization will be great.  I of course will have plenty of pictures.

In the mean time, I guess I should pick up the house a little bit in anticipation of the dual hurricanes that are about to hit.
