Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Special days

Happy Birthday, Hanna!!!!!! Yay, four years old today! Such a big girl. You brighten up our days with your laughter, pretending to be Tinkerbell, playing with your dollies, keeping track of things... we're so grateful you are part of our family!

John's first day of school went well. He enjoyed it, and wants to go back, which is a good sign. His favorite thing, though, was playing tag in the after school program. Chase is his most favorite game.

This morning we had the meeting at the school to talk about John's IEP. We heard encouraging things, and we appreciate their willingness to help him. His teacher did say John did have some moments where he needed help staying on task or attending, and the principal stopped in to observe, and saw similar things. But, they saw his positives too, and I think they have some good ideas to help him.

Friday (tomorrow) is my first day of school, too. I begin the second of the two-year MSSE program at the University of Minnesota. Gads, I'm not ready for all that again.

So, blogging will be pretty light tomorrow, and over the weekend. I'll have a few things, but Monday we'll have another dispatch from the front.

Have a good weekend, one and all...
