Rainy Days and Mondays...

No big news on the immigration front. P did send an email to the prof she needs to talk to about taking classes "abroad" next fall. And, we're in intermittent communication with the realtor. And, I continue to try to give things away. Other than that, it's just the same ol' busy stuff. It's been raining all day and is, I think, expected to continue throughout the evening.

The big news of the day is that we went and picked up 6YO's violin. He decided, completely on his own, last year that he wanted to learn to play the violin. It happens to be one of the few instruments that he can do at school, as part of the school day. So, on Wednesday he will begin weekly violin lessons. For a kid who is an officer in the "It's-too-hard" Club - i.e., tying his shoes, reading, writing, zipping, buttoning, soccer, catching..." - he is thrilled with the violin. He wanted to hold it on his lap in the car. He is watching PBS Kids and "playing" the violin. I guess I'll have to break it to him that he can't sleep with it. We'll see what happens when he has actual lessons to practice. I'm just glad I purchased the insurance, too.

Well, not much else going on around these parts. Just thought I'd say "hello." Hope all is well with everyone.

All is well - glad you all are doing OK, too.

Has 6YO created any masterpieces on the violin yet?
