Officially enrolled

The kids are officially enrolled at the new school.  With Catherine, we have familiarity since Robert attended there last year and will be there again with Catherine.  I still love the fact that we know the principals, and Andrew even requested teachers he knows (which he can do since he teaches in the district).  I have some concerns about Catherine having some of the academic supports that she is going to need, but we'll see how it works out.  At Thomas's school, everything is brand new to us, although my aunt did teach at the school for years prior to her retirement, but that was nearly nine years ago now.  We also know not only the principal at Thomas's new school, but the principal's entire family.  It was very nice to be recognized myself and not just having someone recognize Andrew!  Anyway, both kids were able to meet their new principals and walk around their new buildings and we are all getting very excited!

On the downside, I arrived home to another phone call from my mother that Dad has been taken to the hospital in an ambulance.  This situation seems to be less of an emergency than Saturday night, but I also realize that it's clearly a deterioration of his condition.  Mom expects him to be admitted this time, but I'll know more later.
