I don't like changes. This time of year brings way too many changes - most of the changes are the kind that emphasize the passage of time...
Today was #1 son's last day of 3rd grade. According to him, today he is officially a fourth grader. In a few short weeks, he will be 9 years old. (*sigh*). Pine Cove is a month away, and after that baseball camp, basketball camp, perhaps some golf lessons... Hopefully some impromptu trips to see the State Capital (I've been lead to believe that UT now owns a copy of one of the Gutenberg Bibles!) and to San Antonio (The Alamo, Sea World)... We will go to New Roads for the 4th of July, and maybe to Nashville to see Grandpa Lester. I will try to establish a reading routine for both of us, and maybe some science projects.
When August rolls around however, some people we love will have moved on, and we will be sad and miss them greatly. Jamie's best friend from school is leaving to live in another country, far away. Daughter #3 is leaving to start college in another state, not so far away, but still not here... We are dreading August already!

While I always look forward to summer it is going to be a tough one at the end. Its seems more than just the passage of time, its major changes because so much time has passed! (if that makes sense)
Did you watch the Frontline special on PBS on Tuesday night about Mt. Everest? It was fantastic! I hope you got a chance to see it!
Ha Lori! We watched, I thought of you. We wondered at first if it was just going to be a rehash of the story all over again. We were pleasantly surprised. That whole story just really runs the gamut of human behavior in a crisis - bad and good.
My younger son caught the last 30 minutes or so of the show. He was pretty shaken watching it. I think he was shocked at the tragedy of the whole thing. I guess I never expected him to react that way (he's 13). We wondered if it would be a rehash, too. The photography was really good. It was nice to have the visuals to go with the story. Glad you saw it! =-)
