~Hi Everyone!~
I am so excited to be back on line; I missed you all! I don’t even know where to start to tell you what we have been up to. I guess I will start with what I learned today- hockey is a VERY expensive sport! Basil is thrilled with all his gear though. He starts roller hockey next month. We have managed to accomplish quite a few things in the past week. Earlier in the week we all headed over to the recreation department and had our photo IDs taken. Then we signed everyone up for swimming, skating and a few sports clinics and a cool day camp. One of the many good things about the location of the parish house is that there are endless opportunities for the children in this area. The library and playground are with in walking distance and the town has an extensive recreation department. The boys are at the perfect ages to benefit from all there is on offer. I have also been in touch with the very nice people that are beginning the classical study center and we are very excited about that new venture! The weather has been very pleasant and the children haven been enjoying the pool here at the condo. The parish house renovations haven’t began yet so we will be in the apartment for awhile. I take the boys over to the house to play with the neighborhood children and they all seem to have a very good time. The kids are sweet and it is really a thrill to see everyone enjoying a good old fashioned childhood! Glory be to God!

That sounds simply wonderful! So glad you’re back! :sunny:
Were the countertops really as bad as Goldie always said they were?
I’m glad they’re finally being replaced! (At least, that’s what I’m assuming…)
:wave: So glad to see you back … I was just thinking about you yesterday, wondering how you were!
I’m so glad things are all working out for you and your family. You’re always so good at making the best of things, but this situation seems to already be so good.
There is always a time of adjustment when living in a new place, yet young childern help find a way to shorten its impact for everyone. Their new experiences help shape the future expectations and God’s blessings are added when we include His will into what we choose and decide. Everything sounds like it is moving at a pace to develop new friendships and opportunities.
Yes, hockey is expensive. Our oldest son is an ice hockey athlete, and we appreciate that hockey has the longest season of all sports around – it keeps him engaged and involved in a strenuous, healthy activity. Our youngest son enjoys ice hockey and roller hockey, just not at the same level of enthusiasm. I have to admit, I breathed a sigh of relief when he asked if it was okay if he was a wrestler, baseball player and runner – he wasn’t sure he wanted to play hockey very much. It could have put us in the poor house right quick.
Fantastic news about your new classical school – so many componants for the growth and development of your family has come together in a seamless manner. God hears the desires of your heart.
Enjoy your day!
So glad you guys are enjoying your new city!! :goodjob:
YAY! You’re back! I’m glad everyone is doing well at your house!

I’m glad you are getting settled in. I think all sports are expensive – my jaw dropped over Baseball.
So glad to see you back.
Hockey is so expensive. So fun though.
