We're Already Through The First Quarter

...and my favorite subject has been Critical Thinking!  Whether or not they see the value of this course is yet to be determined, but I have to confess that I am learning things I wish I'd have learned when I was their age! The greatest benefit from mom taking the course along with them is that I get to apply it to them and discuss, very often, how they aren't thinking critically about a certain issue or when their emotions have washed over their thinking and they only want to see things one way.
THIS IS A GREAT COURSE~

The Easy Peasy courses they're taking have, at times, been very dry, but I've reminded them to 'just jump through the hoops!'

But the greatest lessons learned have been those involving laying down their lives for others, particularly the family staying with us as well as little Josh.  It's been a challenging lesson for all of us.

Having Joshie with us has been fantastic.  He has to be the easiest baby ever.  He adores both boys and absolutely loves the attention they give him, plus they enjoy getting away from their computer to sit on the swing together or take him for a stroll down the block.

Life is great with twinners.
