Early start today as I take my oldest boy Matthew to the airport for his big overseas adventure. A tinge of sadness as he is away for about four years, but also glad he gets to have this experience. When I travelled almost 30 years ago things were very different and contact with home was much more difficult - (we actually had to talk to each other down the phone lines or write letters and postcards - many of which my mother kept and we laughed over when I returned home) however with smartphones and the internet it is so much easier for us to keep in touch and maintain that connectedness.

Here's to a good week and remember to check out our website to see what is required for homework this week.
