    Thanks, friends. smile

    Yes, LMom! We must get all the boys together! For sure! Their ages line up so neatly.

    And yay for another boy the right age in your state, Shari! I really think those social connections are one of the best parts of the program.

    Congrats Kriston and Courtney and kiddos! (And Shari too - it really helps to have peers around, even if you can't get together too much.)

    Thanks everyone! He doesn't have any clue about it yet but I'll have to tell him soon I guess.

    I'll let you know when we're up and running! I don't think we're that far away from you, we're in the Tracy area.

    Courtney, when I told DS6, his first response was to turn up his nose! The little creep!

    I think he thought it was something he'd have to do, not something fun. I explained it and he got more into it.

    It's particularly funny because he has been enjoying DYS get-togethers--the informal ones that allow siblings--and friendships for nearly 3 years now. He just didn't know it. LOL!

    Yay! congrats to you both (sorry I am super late seeing this). And yay for more 6yos in DYS, even though neither of you are close. Maybe someday we will do the Summit. It's kind of hard with DD3 though...wouldn't want to leave her behind and she doesn't seem to be a good DYS candidate as of yet.
