This has been a tough week on the boys and I. We had been so lax in doing any reading and math during the Christmas break, that it has been difficult to perform well in anything this week.  I don't know how the boys are doing at school, but all of us at home are reading, writing, thinking, communicating, . . . functioning horribly.  I am soooooooo looking forward to having our "Grove" back.

Oh, speaking of "Grove" back, I am grateful that the boys do have their health back.  I knew that they were not quite themselves last month with all their illnesses, plus school, exams, busy schedules, and exhaustion, but I almost forgotten what it was like to have their spirit alive and kicking.  As I type this blog up, I am enjoying listening to the two of them play together with all their energy and creative imaginative play.  It is musical to me.

We are off to enjoy and savor this weekend!!!
