A whirlwind trip to Tennessee for 2 weeks! Lots of soccer games for all 4 of the grands, and also a pleasure to watch Mikkel coach- a skill which energizes her amidst the overwhelming life of a homeschooling mom. Not only did we spend time in events and activities, but were also immersed in the life of a busy family...with a few projects for Bill and a few for me! The life of grandparents living alongside their kids can be a balancing act of "being slow to speak, quick to listen"!! I have to remind myself that the "way we did it" is not the only way, and that we can learn much from our kids. I always enjoy Mikkel's take on social, health and education issues. I love how Teg paves the way with some of the bigger parenting discussions with Azi..and then how they work together to follow up and monitor. We are finding that our biggest responsibility is to cheer them all on.....It takes a team! An answer to prayer--we found a lovely campground about 20 minutes from their home where we can stay in the spring!
