Ivy, the boys are almost 6, 8.5 and 10.25, (fractions are important at that age.) They are in kindergarten, grade 3 and grade 5. The 10 year old is developing that age-appropriate attitude (he's very disruptive in Sunday School) and the 8 year old is everyone's favourite. He's really quiet, and tiny (the 5 year old is almost as big) but brilliant. He reads well (even aloud in church) and is very musical. His brother plays drums (and has played with the choir) but has given up lessons, so the 8 year old is taking them, after doing very well in piano (he plays duets with his mom as musical meditations in church.) The youngest is the clown of the family.
The mom doesn't allow screen-time during the week so the boys all play beautifully with each other (oldest and youngest even share a room by choice.) When at my house they play with my 'vintage' Lego. They are polite, appreciative, engaging, and mind me well so I don't mind taking them out for meals or events because I know I won't be chasing after them or dealing with lots of begging for treats. They are so easy to care for, I look forward to babysitting them.
While You Were Sleeping is one of my favourite movies. I watch it each year at Christmas.
Helia: dh is 55. That's why we are so concerned.
Not much progress to report but Sunday's service is finished and I just started a load of laundry. And a cup of tea. When the tea is done, I'll go empty the drying rack so it is ready for the load in the washer now. Then I'll get out fresh towels and put the next load of laundry on.

It was so sad, but the nurses said she was the happiest patient they had and the nurses always had a smile on their face when they worked around Nana, too.
