Hello Everyone,
We just returned from Boston last night. DH is still there on business. He will return Friday and then leave again on Sunday for White Sands, NM. He won't return until July 2nd
Two weeks with just me and the boys. 
We had a great time on our trip. We went to a Red Sox game, the New England Aquarium, the Museum of Science, the Freedom Trail, and the Skywalk. We drove into New Hampshire after church Sunday, and drove to Newport, RI, on Monday. We toured a couple of the mansions there. It was beautiful. I want to go back and stay a few days there. We stayed with my parents last night. I have a 3 day workshop at school this week, and it was easier to stay so I wouldn't have to take the boys over this morniing.
When I went to get the mail today, I had a present in the mail box. We received our planning documents
It was nice to have that waiting for me when we returned.
WolfeinTn, are you originally from TN? If so, where and what year did you graduate from high school? I graduated with a guy named Wolf from Oakland in 1985. Just wondering if you could be the same person.
My friend's niece is doing well. Apparently the kidnappers were very nice to her. They let her listen to music, play video games and got her fast food when she wanted it. When she was returned, they had a big party for her. The family is trying to get refugee status so they can come to the US. It is very difficult for families to leave the country. They have a very strict government. Apparently kidnappings like this happen very frequently. The poverty level here is 90%. My friend was so appreciative of all of the prayers.
I do have another prayer request of everyone. My mother is having surgery tomorrow to have pins removed from her hip. Then in July, she is going to have her knee removed (due to a constant infection) and have her leg fused, so she will have a straight leg the rest of her life. She has had 8-9 operations on this knee. Three summers ago, she had to be in a cast and have her already replaced knee removed and go with out a knee for a few weeks, trying to get rid of a staff infection. Apparently, there is still some type of infection in the knee. The only way to get rid of it is to take out the artificial knee and to fuse the bones together. My mother is rather young, only 65. She has had health problems since I was 19. This is really hitting her hard. She has cried until she can cry no more. I don't think it has really hit me yet. I told her as long as she got better, it doesn't matter if she can't bend her knee. Being an only child, my mother and I are very close.
Thank you for listening to me. It is good to know that prayers are being sent worldwide for her. I will let you know how things go tomorrow. Everyone have a great Thursday.

Last night he did say he was homesick though. Five days is a long time for kids of that age to be together. He is supposed to come home around four today. 
! Both are equally challenging as far as I am concerned (but I had boys in both puppies and children, suppose there is a corelation?). I love dogs though and Walter is a real sweetie. I will take a picture and get it posted so you can see him. 
all the way around but fun. I think it is so much fun to meet, greet and get to know other DISer's and in case you didn't know - I am honored and tickled pink that I am sailing with all of you!
