ok, so ecw tells me that i am wrong about jon...that he is just quiet and so much unlike our boy that we fail to appreciate what he does have to offer..........the other 2 children appear to be enjoying his company, and even ecw said that he has enjoyed riding with him and having him help at the shop after work.......ecw compared him to a family friend, also 16, who is quite different from our boy..........quiet, shy, not an academic stand-out......but who might win the state cross-country meet this year....if we never got past quiet and shy, we would miss the rest.........ok, so mm may be wrong..............butmm is also happy to take this boy back to the airport tomorrow so we can get back to normal......we have not been normal in our house since the last day of school in may...........we will have 3 days of normal, then acw will leave to go back to school, and we must adjust all over again.........ah well.........
