In addition to my twentieth class reunion, we've also been living our lives. JR returned home from scout camp Saturday morning and clearly it was one of the best times of his life! He is such an incredibly independent kid, and while apparently there were a lot of emotions from others regarding homesickness, he spent most of the time being puzzled by those who were homesick...who wouldn't love being on their own for a week? Of course, I also suspect that in this day and age there might be a few parents who might play into the homesickness by talking about how much they'll miss their "baby". And I also suspect that many of the boys have less responsibility at home...and many, many more electronics. JR didn't have the ability to miss his computer and cell phone and video games, etc., etc., because he doesn't have those at home. He does however, have chores, responsibilities, and school work (yep, even in the summer I make sure we are academic!) and he probably loved being away from all of that for a week! He had signed up for five merit badges but was actually able to complete eight...I'm impressed!
My husband moves into his new high school this fall, and we have also spent some days helping him put his new room together. I must say, this high school is absolutely top of the line...some might even say "over the top"! The kids and I have been helping to unpack and shelves books upon books, and we've also been helping to arrange and decorate the rest of the room. We've put in a couple of days so far, but at this point the things that are left pretty much have to be finished by him.
We are heading out this weekend to visit my cousins who have a lake house in Tennessee, then we'll be home for a day before we head back out to visit my in-laws. I'm not sure how much internet access I'll have, but I know that we'll all be having loads and loads of fun!
