Thanksgiving, Wiggly Tooth & Orthodox Higher Education
We will be having Thanksgiving at Alexander's school on Thursday. We're bringing mashed potatoes. We will be having Thanksgiving at Dominic's school Monday, we will be bringing pumpkin rolls. We will be having the family over, Muellers, my mom and the Malchert branch of Rich's maternal side on the actual Thanksgiving, and will be making mashed potatoes, gravy, pies galore and pumpkin rolls. Everyone else is bringing the rest. We have three frozen turkeys in our big freezer, because they have been so cheap. I don't think we'll want to actually eat a turkey every again after three Thanksgiving meals in one week's time.
We're also having a leftover feeding frenzy at our house the day after Thanksgiving for our friends and church family. Bring your leftovers to share and come eat until you can't move. We'll have games, movies, and lots of food. We will go all day.
Speaking of big mouths, as of Thursday night, we have been able to see the big boy tooth growing in behind Alexander's loose tooth. It seems it will grow out before the loose tooth leaves his mouth. Like a shark. He very proudly is showing everyone the new grown up tooth wherever we go.
Since he is now fast approaching adulthood, with this new adult tooth on the way, I have been thinking about college/university options for our kids. Obviously, a long way off, but only 12 years from now at the same time.
So, this is a question I have: What Orthodox Christian Institutions of Higher Learning are there? Not limited to the Orthodox Church, but Christian Orthodoxy, any branch, any denomination. We have been looking at some secular schools which are rigorous and sound interesting and fun, and have a couple ideas about Christian schools, but are interested in what is out there. US only please.
Put a note in my comments with the name of the school, website, and why you think it should count as an orthodox college or university.
As for my knitting, I have been working on both the Cross Your Heart and Little Boy Green more lately, only to have Dominic ask about the progress on his stocking and realize I haven't done anything on it recently. So, I will be getting that out again. On smaller needles.
Talked to Becky about the photos from All Saints' and she said she should be able to have a CD to me by Sunday, so look for those photos then.
