Last week was much more quiet for us - no races, no camps. Keith and the boys did have a 3-day practicum for Classical Conversations. That's a homeschool group we're part of that has adopted the classical approach to education. It's very interesting - based more on how education used to be done. These guys will learn so much if we are able to stick with it. While Keith had his training, James had a writing camp and Christopher did a geography/art camp. Don't tell anyone, but I think James actually enjoyed his class. Not sure if it was the class or maybe one of the girls in it. He sure did look nice every day when he went.
We did take a really quick trip to Alabama last night and today. The pastor who married us and was my pastor in high school retired today. Keith and I really wanted to go the reception for them. The boys were well-behaved. We're working on making eye contact with adults and speaking with big voices. It was fun because we were able to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a long time. The boys enjoyed seeing their grandparents and a few games of "offense/defense" with their Papa. (A game only a former football coach could make up - he sits in his lazy boy and throws the ball to the kids. Why my mom lets them throw the ball in the house is beyond me.)
This week we're back to our more typical schedule. Christopher is going to a tennis camp with the tennis pro for our neighborhood. He's really looking forward to it. He does enjoy changing sports every season. Soccer will soon be upon us -
For James we're back to racing this week. He has a criterium, a circuit and a road race in Gwinnett County on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He's really looking forward to them. We're just happy there's no significant travel involved. He's very happy that his Papa and Da (my parents) are coming.
I guess we'll continue the blog. I've continued to add people to the list and others have ask to be added. Maybe this way I'll do a better job keeping people updated. Thanks for tuning in-
No explanation of the picture? It begs the question, what is going on here?
ReplyDeleteEven when it's quiet at a house of boys, it's really never quiet. James says they were bored and this was what they thought of to keep from being bored. Not much other explanation...further proof that you just never know.
