    It was so nice to hear from DS by phone. He says he is having a great time. Next Saturday we are invited to take him 'out' for the day, and it will be great to see him. I'm not sure what we should plan. An activity? Just chill out at home? He may even bring a friend who is too far away to get a parent visit.

    Ankle is officially all better now! Yippee!

    G-

    So glad you're better. Good news from ds as well, that's great! I hope you enjoy your parental visiting and the transition back won't be too hard on either of you.

    Today is DS11, er, I mean, DS12's Birthday! Yippee! Every year seems to bring him more equipment to handle the everyday challenges of life, and me a little more fun.

    I didn't get to wish him a verbal Happy Birthday, becasue he's at camp, but DH saw him and says he's looking fine and happy and says he's made friends with almost all the 11 kids in his bunk (all 12 year olds)

    DH reports that DS12 didn't cry when they were together (DH was dropping off birthday cake and little balsa wood airplanes as party favors for the bunkmates) but that DH did tear up.

    Drumming class met again, and I went for a nice walk with that mom Monday night. Yippee!

    Smiles,
    Grinity
