Isn't life strange?

We found out this week that my parents will be moving from Florida to New York in just 3 weeks. They will be in Margaretville:

The town is about 2 hours away from us in the Catskills! My dad will be part of a church there while he continues his other work stuff (the list of what he "does" is long, so I won't go there). We are happy in that they will be closer and we may actually get to see them more than once a year.

In other news, my husband got his cassock from Russia today--and my youngest son asked me just a moment ago:

"Mom, have you seen dad is his casket yet?" 

Thankfully not, but I did see him in his black dress and he looks quite spiffy, if I do so say myself!

Here is my seminarian in all his newfound blackness:

Anyway, I work the next two days then have 4 days off! YAY! I don't know what I'm going to do when I start working nights...no point in worrying about it, I suppose.

Week 4 in New York

I can't believe August is over--what happened to summer? We are entrenched already in our new schedule and I already asked L. last night when this semester is over? tehe.

Work is ok--I mean, it is blowing me away daily in terms of how different it is from my old job. The people are very nice, the hospital is beautiful, and the patient demographic is the flipside of what I've been used to. Lots to get used to.

L. is loving seminary. Last night he told me that being here "is just me." Glad to hear that! :)

Homeschool is actually going quite smoothly. The boys like it and are working hard--so back to that endeavor...
