“Mommy, you go to so many cool places. More than I do.” “No, Kory, I didn’t travel to most of those places until I was much older. You have been many more places than I had at your age. You will get there.” I wonder why he says this to me during our history lesson.…

Easter egg hunts and ham. We had the traditional Easter fare in an untraditional way – on the beach and at a resort. Easter morning started with an egg hunt for the boys in the resort lobby. When we called the front desk the day before, we were told the hunt was at 10 am.…

No Distinction of Age
He sat with the second graders during the opening announcements. He sat with a fourth grader at the end of the day. He walked up and started a conversation with a sophomore one week. He sat in with the fourth and fifth grade class while he drew and chatted away with those at his table.…
