Daughter's home from TCU for Christmas. We'll have a great time till she leaves for the Rose Bowl! Go Horn Frogs! Hopefully we'll get to hear about memories of a lifetime upon her return.
My son is home for the 2nd time since August as he is 8 hours away. As expected, he wanted to see his HS friends, sleep, workout, and chill. We went over his grades and he did very, very well first semester with all the adjustments, distance, engineering course load, workouts and baseball practices. He did manage to barely squeeze in a social life.
Everybody on HSBBWeb told us how hard it is to be a freshmen athlete, and they weren't kidding. I re-read some of those older posts and they were spot-on. We're extremely proud of his school work and his progress on the baseball field. I can't wait to see his opening Spring series in early March at Virginia (only 90 min away) from our house. We'll have him around the house until mid-January, and then it is back to college life. In the mean time, he has a workout routine and schedule the coaches gave him. I'm not quite sure where we can start tossing the ball around in the snow, but we'll figure something out. Grandparents will be dropping by soon, and I'm sure they will be asking a lot of questions because they haven't seen him for 5 months.
He has grown a lot in the last 5 months. More independent, more understanding of situations. He wants to discuss summer engineering internships, and we didn't have to suggest it. Progress!
