Aside from the obvious (she describes it as a release from prison) joy and freedom of having children involved in meaningful activities away from home, I’m struck by the surprising everyday weirdness of being a parent. Some mornings I’m still surprised that instead of finding some cute man at my kitchen table making dirty overtures while asking where the Ibuprofen is, I have instead three beautiful daughters fighting over who sits where and asking me when I’ll get them breakfast and why I’m moving so slowly.  And also the burgeoning hope that they’ll love school as much as I always have.

If you are a lover of books and reading, it will be easy to pass that along to your kids. Mrs GF and I successfully placed soccergirl into our reading way of life at an early age. Now, she is rarely without a book in her hands or nearby. I am certain that your kids will find the reading/scholastic world a comfortable place, because you do. Hiya Red!
