Everything is going well, but Paul and I have been running the gauntlet of orientations, curriculum nights and special meetings, basically the introvert’s Olympics.

We continue with our community service/home improvement which is painting the exterior of the house.

The days have been busy.  Tomorrow is my first day home alone.  I plan to cook, write and make a lot of dog hair angels on the floor.

Once last week I asked Christopher how math had gone that day.

“It did a little bit exceed expectations.”

When I asked how, he replied, “It was somewhat reasonable and interesting.”

He has been eating lunch with a young man who has a mohawk.

“It had to be the kid with the mohawk!”  Lydia teasingly moaned.

Well yes, apparently it did.
