Sandi2, I have no goal about telling our children... I can not tell them, and let them drive up to our home and go WTF Dad...on T-day... Or, I could let them know 1-2 weeks before they arrive... Our MC says I should let them know before they arrive for T-day so that they do not arrive in a sheet pile... I am okay with saying nada... I just wanted to get some other mentorship of folks who have alraedy done this... I do enjoy all the great feedback... Thanks...
