He is coming in November to introduce us to his fiance', he is of course going to his mom's in IN first(as he should). DD(15) and DS(11) are very excited to see him. When we go to Disney he joins us if he can get time off work.

Sorry if my answers don't fit the study but it seemed slanted to one side to me.
