I think this is great for him especially if he is going to school. My fiance is in the national guard and because of it he was able to get hired on as a civilian technician with DOD and now has an amazing career that he would not have if he wasn't in the guard. Plus he trains every month plus several other times throughout the year so it isn't just the weekends so much anymore.

I don't know about all schools but in each one that my children have been in we were told they try to separate relatives as often as possible because it tends to lead to more socialization and better behavior within classrooms. When I enrolled my nephew at our school for my sister, I asked if he could be in my sons class because I was worried he would struggle to make friends and thought it would help having my son there but the school said no because they found that kids in these situations tend to stick with each other out of familiarity versus trying to socialize. I think that's probably what the twins school is thinking and they probably recognize that Gracie needs a place where she can just be Gracie not one of the twins or Ali's sister. And I also think it is good that Gracie is able to say that she wants to be in a separate classroom because maybe she does feel like people only see her as Ali's sister instead of seeing her as her own person.

I agree, I have pictures that are almost identical to these except I wore jeans, from my night out at an Eric Church concert. And yes it was the best concert, he knows how to put on a fun show.

I really like their home even though the decor is not my style. I think it shows how down to earth they are because it's not super fancy and expensively done.
