Mission Statement, College tour, Update



We are back from our college tour.  We saw Connecticut College, University of Richmond, Catholic University, American University, Loyola of Maryland, Muhlenberg, University of Delaware.  We will fit Holy Cross in tomorrow.  The process is exhausting and exciting.  The wonderful thing is Andrew really has a preference.  He loved Catholic and Loyola.  The coaches were so generous with their time, the student body was kind, and the campuses were beautiful.  We enjoyed the time together as a family.  We actually used the time in the car (there was a lot of it) to make our family mission statement.  Initially the kids were annoyed that they could not listen to their ipods or read their books, but eventually they engaged and enjoyed the process.

We received our confirmation that CIS has amended our approval to be a broader range in age.  Jessica called, also, saying that she received our new signed service agreement.  What this means...is we are on the wait list (continuation) but for a child/ren 0-4.  So going into our 16th week, we are so excited about all the possibilities.  The other great news is that there are so many Gladney families that have passed court and are now preparing to travel.  Life is good.  We are getting closer holding our Little M.
