Today is my Mom’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom! (Most of you reading this are probably reading it on Thursday, Jan. 8. If so, my Mom’s birthday was yesterday, Jan. 7.) 

I have very few pictures of just Mom, so I posted this photo of my parents that I took in December 2007 while we were walking around by the Vermilion River in Ohio. It was a cold but beautiful day, so I convinced them to go hiking and photo-taking with me. I love my parents, they have been wonderful in every respect. I can not ask for better.

After taking Mom out to dinner tonight, I spent a few hours running a calculus review session for the AP Calc class that I was a part of in high school. Their mid-term is next week (the course is combined with AP Physics also, so it is a year long course), so I wanted to help them review and also review a little math for myself before I start again at Hillsdale next week, since I was out of math for a semester. I have a second session tomorrow, too. I hope I was somewhat of a help to them.
