I’m smiling from ear to ear. You can’t see me, but today is a major milestone in my life, and I’m ecstatic. A dream has come true …one that I’ve been dreaming about for over twenty years.

The boys went to school. Charlie Mac is giving a two-minute speech on George Washington. Ava is running around learning new stuff as fast as she can.
