Fun

 Yesterday's PLP subsided by mid morning, allowing me to thoroughly enjoy the rest of my day. Timmy offered to let me borrow some of his meteorites and other space rocks so that I could show them to my students. My goodness, I under estimated the excitement that would be elicited by every single student when I asked them if they wanted to hold a piece of Mars. From preschool to high school, each student eagerly grasped the opportunity and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the different items. It was a fun day full of smiles and excitement.

Today the excitement will continue as Robby is moving home after the successful completion of his Sophomore year. I can't believe that he is 1/2 of the way through with his degree! This semester he has really come into his own. Although I know he is going to miss his college lifestyle, I am looking forward to having him home.

As a family, we opted to handle the move-out differently this year. Robby has a lot of anxiety involving move-out because last year it ultimately led to Scott's heart attack. In order to minimize the amount of effort needed on a single day, we have spent the past few weeks and days ferrying boxes and bags from the dorm to home. Today we only have to move bedding, his laptop, refrigerator and microwave. It *should* be easy!

Wish us luck!
