Cheerio!

My son had a rough time making it through junior high school.
He was NOT an optimal student.

In spite of that fact,
he just completed his first year of graduate studies @ Oxford University.


During 2011, he maintained a full-time job in the U.S. and 'commuted' to England.

But things are gonna change!

At this very moment,
Arian and his family of five are crossing the pond in a jet plane, headed to London.


The family will spend 2012 home-based in England while Arian completes his last year at Oxford.


It was tough to say "Cheerio", knowing that my older grandbabes will be coming back,
speaking the King's English.



NEVER give up on your kids as hopeless!

AND, tomorrow I'll be sending the holiday wrap-up and it's
really sweet.
Really.

Never give up. I can remember a time when A was not the sweetest kid on the planet—during which he called Cam "kid," in a deeply patronizing manner. But it was a very short time. I only really remember the shining star he became in high school, an old soul floating along among all the crazy hedonists and adolescents, quietly practicing the arts of grace and honor. I am not at all surprised at Oxford. A little than anyone could keep a full time job and commute to England for school at the same time. No. A lot at that. Obviously, his boss couldn't afford to lose him. It will be a great adventure for the fam, but not so great an adventure for you. Still - when have you ever held still?
