Well, week one of remote learning is officially in the books and fortunately, it seems that none of us are any worse for the wear. Were there technical issues? Yes. Were there bickering matches? Yes. Were there moments of frustration for kids? Yes. Parents? Yes. But there was also this, which Adam received from one of Isaac's teachers this afternoon:

I never want to take too much credit for my kids' personalities since it was God who made them as they are and I'm just glad that I haven't marred his creation too much, but it's definitely a reminder that it's a blessing to be his (and their!) mom.

They're good young people, these kids of mine, and it's awfully nice when other people notice just how great they are.
