And so it is over, today we drove our youngest two almost three hours back to school. On Tuesday the youngest will fly back to B.C. We spent Saturday night with Jordan and friends playing Rummikub and listening to Ben Folds' CDs. Jordan did manage a fair number of recording sessions while he was home. He calls himself a cross between Beethoven and Ben Folds, not a bad description of his piano work. Both Jordan and Jo anticipate a heavy semester.
The photo is from our Boxing Day expedition which culminated in the viewing of Narnia--well worth the viewing for all lovers of Aslan. (Right click on the picture to refresh picture quality, for the uninitiated, will clear the photo.) The photo introduces Jer's girlfriend....I need to ask her permission to publish her name.
During the holidays I was asked twice by one aging professional and another younger one if I thought having kids was worth it. Is it worth midnight feedings, dirty diapers, tons of tuition expense?.....Children are a gift from God to be welcomed into our homes....sure the workload can be intense when they are younger....no pain, no gain.....it is wonderful to watch each one discover their gifts and talents and start to use them. Each child is a unique individual and as parents we seek to discover their potential and nurture it. Can anything else in life be more rewarding?

rewarding? ha. i'll show you.
Just for the record, I'm not a cross between Beethoven and Ben Folds, I just try to be. I don't think I can be compared on any level to either of them, they're just who I draw influence from. And yes, I'm as hot in real life as I am in that picture.
