Anyone up for a GTKY??

[redandblue]

So this little adoption board seems to be getting smaller and quieter (beyond the great monthly check-ins...Thanks ceejay). I'm wondering if people want to do a little GTKY, maybe summer addition??

Just trying to spice the board up a bit...(please add if you have additional ideas!!)

What are your summer plans?

What are your summer plans?

Nothing major this year because i am still on parental leave, so we will probably do day trips. It will be a challenge to find something that will be good for DS1 (age 16yr) and DS2 (10 months)! I'm thinking we might look into a baseball game and maybe the aquarium in Toronto. Maybe a quick over night trip.

What is the thing you are Looking forward to the most this summer?

I can't wait to see DS2 continue his explosion of skills this summer! I'm also looking forward to seeing his half siblings (they live about 5 hour away and will be coming to visit their families at some point, so we will continue to build our relationship) .

I'm also looking forward to convincing DS1 of the importance of his getting a driver's license and the accompanying teaching and loss of sleep! Lol

What's one thing this board doesn't know about you?

If I didn't work in my current field (early learning) , I would love to be a police officer!

Oh! I love these things, plus it helps me remember people from more than an avatar.


What are your summer plans? - At this point, not much. We're talking about a weekend trip to Mammoth Cave, and maybe doing something over the 4th of July, but for the most part we're just working on the house and hanging around at home.

What is the thing you are Looking forward to the most this summer? - Getting the basement remodel finished! That'll be amazing. Plus, seeing the nursery come together more and more.

What's one thing this board doesn't know about you? - Oh lord...probably plenty! DH and I were expats to the Netherlands for 3.5 years, and repatriated to the US in 2013. I miss living abroad, but it's nice to be home too.

Thanks for starting this, redandblue ! It's good to get some more conversation going on this board.


What are your summer plans?
Nothing too exciting planned. Hopefully we'll be spending lots of time outside now that the weather is nice! Our work schedules don't change at all in the summer so it's just the same old thing. Our one trip will be to Maine for my BIL's wedding. H and I are going alone, and my parents will watch our foster sons. It will be fun to have a few days away on our own, but I'm sure I'll miss the boys the whole time we are away!


What is the thing you are looking forward to the most this summer?
Just spending time outside as a family. I love going for evening walks with H, the boys, and the dogs.


What's one thing this board doesn't know about you?
Hmm, probably a lot! I'm a scientist, and I work for a large diagnostics company. I like my job but my dream job would be to work for the CDC studying rare infectious diseases. I studied malaria in grad school and loved it.
