"Do you even know your own strength?"

Micah asked this last night at dinner. Besides being very cute, I thought it was quite profound. Do any of us know our own strength, before we need it?

I forgot to mention that when I picked up the boys on Thursday from school, I briefly spoke with the Curriculum Consultant. She and Sam's reading teacher had given him and evaluation, and apparently the reading teach was crying, because they were SO PROUD of how well he's doing! That was a terrific birthday present for me, on top of watching Sofia's eval go so well.

Oh, one more thing that happened on Friday: at pickup I was talking to another mom, and found out that her kid had hives for several weeks, too! It really IS a virus!!!
