Well done!! One thing the world desperately needs is well raised and educated children. It’s a wonderful service to raise children the way you and your wife are doing.

What's funny is my 15-year-old likes to walk up to me, stick his chest out and say "bring it." Of course I take him down everytime, no problem. Still, I'm not sure I'll teach him everything I know! :-)

He tries to get even by asking me for help with his Latin work... he knows I don't know Latin so when he tries this, I just knock him out of his chair and he loves it but it drives the wife crazy... "He's in school" she says, and I reply "well, there's a hard knock for him."

I'll start teaching both our kids Greek soon. Was supposed to start this year but the new job requires a lot of my time right now.

He's taking an on-line Great Books course where they read The Illiad, The Odyssey, Aristotle, Plato and more. Actually, our 11-year-old takes it with him. Both kids are doing very well in class. We couldn't be more proud.
