So far so good

We had parent-teacher conferences at school today, and received mid-term reports for middle schoolers. I spoke briefly with Cman's teacher, who said he's doing very well, and talked to the middle school teachers I hadn't had informal chats with already. Little T's pulling straight A's - something we're so proud of, especially seeing as it's the first term of middle school. (Our school doesn't give letter grades until 5th) I wasn't sure how he'd handle the time and materials management, but seems that it's a breeze for him.

Big T spent a couple of days in Atlanta this week and renewed his resolve never to live there. He left town at 5:00 on a Friday (tough, he knew) and proceeded to spend several hours sitting in traffic. Fortunately, he was driving the ever-stylish bio-fuel Taurus from the lab. Nothing against the Taurus, of course, but hey, a bio-fuel BMW just sounds cool. At least he burned some ears of corn rather than hundreds of dollars of gas.

We're looking forward to a relaxing weekend...just a baby shower, Young Life benefit dinner, church, Jr. Cotillion (Little T's first), homework and basketball practice. No problem :-). The weather is absolutely perfect, so we'll try to get a family bike ride in, too. After the non-stop 90's, these days in the low 80's feel wonderful.
