We also have discussion groups for genealogy, links to genealogical information on us, and our (semi-private) Flickr and YouTube accounts for those who are invited. You can also get a quick-navigation guide here.

The First Weeks of Third Grade

I haven't blogged much lately except about our weekend trips and 9/11, but of course in the midst of all this Sarah started third grade just before Labor Day. So far she seems to like it. She's still in Catholic school at Corpus Christi, but we've talked about moving her to public school next year, a real savings in money and something she claims to want. But I'm not certain that we'll do it if she changes her mind, since she seems happy at Corpus Christi, despite the financial sacrifice involved. (Of course, the economic blows hitting the economy right now could make the decision for us.)

Her teacher, Miss Bird, she seems to like, though she was hoping to get the other teacher, Miss Kay, who hatches baby chicks in her classroom. But she likes Miss Bird and so, after only a couple of meetings, do we. She's from southwest Virginia so she has a good up-country southern accent, something Sarah needs to get used to since it's close enough to Ozark and other highland south accents to get her used to hearing more of her kinfolk.

Homework hasn't been too burdensome yet, and Sarah is doing choir practice.

More as we go along.
