TROY, Mich., Dec. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Altair today released version 7.0 of its HiQube simulation-driven business analytics and performance optimization platform. HiQube works in concert with an organization's existing IT business infrastructure to deliver self-driven, advanced analytics capabilities throughout the enterprise. The latest version includes a powerful, new mobile app for iPad and iPhone users, an automated workflow that streamlines data-import-to-mobile-report publishing, multi-core processing to rapidly browse sparse and large data sets, SSL security and user-focused productivity advancements.
Business decision-makers will use the new mobile app—available for the iPhone and iPad—to enable remote access to powerful business analytics capabilities to further capitalize on the value of enterprise information. Executives working in the field, meeting off-site, conferring with prospects or evaluating performance at plant sites now can view all the relevant analytical data from multiple perspectives on their mobile devices through the new app.
"The mobile app is fast, easy to view and straightforward to navigate," said Senior Vice President of HiQube Software Development Giuseppe Strafforello. "With our new app, on-the-go business executives can carry in their hand the same deep intelligence that they have at their fingertips on the desktop."
The app is free to users who maintain a current license for HiQube and can be downloaded at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hiqube-mobile/id491153694?mt=8. Guests also are invited to download the free app to experience HiQube mobility through a hosted demo business model.
The release of HiQube 7.0 includes many other new productivity enhancements, including the introduction of Data Modeler. Data Modeler uses a wizard-driven approach to automate the entire workflow process to import data from any source, create interactive reports and dashboards, and publish on desktop and mobile devices for team collaboration.
Additional productivity and core technology advancements include:
- Multi-core processing to accelerate the navigation of sparse and large data sets. As the volume, variety and velocity of information continues to increase, this new functionality will allow business users and developers to more quickly explore and visualize large data sets and sparse data stores.
- New single and multi-objective optimization algorithms that expand HiQube's library of optimization methods for advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics.
- A sophisticated macro debugging tool that enables developers to easily find and correct errors in macro codes authored in HiQube. Developers will be able to trace the complete stack and track user-selected variables, thereby debugging their applications quickly.
- Embedded SSL support, eliminating the need for third-party components to secure data. HiQube now offers a native embedded method to achieve https-type capabilities while interacting with the HiQube server.
- An extended SAP connector that, using the latest software development kit from SAP, can support 32-bit and 64-bit architectures for both Windows and Linux systems. The upgrade improves access to a broader range of data sets from the SAP environment.
- A new chart type added to HiQube's visualization portfolio: the waterfall chart. It extends HiQube's collection of 25 chart types, the broadest in the business intelligence market.
- A capability to export and import model schemas so they can be used later or shared with colleagues. This new feature lets developers bring back model schemas easily.
"Our development strategy is to continue to automate the exploration and analysis of business information to guide decision-making," said Michael J. Kidder, Senior Vice President of Altair Business Analytics Marketing. "The advancements in this release significantly reduce the support burden on IT staff while increasing availability of and access to analytics at all levels. We look forward to supporting our clients and valued business partners in building powerful business solutions on the HiQube 7.0 analytics platform."

Top Teachers: Stephanie Tucker
Crestview E.S., preschool
Years spent working in the mortgage industry left Stephanie Tucker with a vacant feeling. During a drive past a Henrico school one day, she saw a sign inviting applications for an instructional assistant position. She interviewed and soon had a job at Crestview Elementary working in one of the school's Head Start preschool classes (now known as Federal Programs Preschool).
"It was like a light bulb went on," Tucker said.
Six years later, she realizes every day that she made the right decision.
"As a kid, I always wanted to be a teacher. When I came back to that, I just knew this is where I needed to be."
From her perch on the front line of preschool education, Tucker has seen the difference it can make for students.
"Preschool is such a critical age," Tucker said. "You can turn on or turn off a child's love of learning. If you've got a nurturing, safe environment, then you're giving them one of the tools that they need to be successful.
"It's really wonderful that the public is really embracing preschool as more than daycare."
Though the program at Crestview, and those at other Henrico elementaries, pull students from different attendance zones, some of Tucker's students have continued at Crestview. Several of her first students are now fifth-graders at the school whose continued development she has enjoyed watching.
"Mrs. Tucker rolls up her sleeves and brings joy and determination to the classroom," one nominator wrote. "Her students are higher needs [students] but she does not see them as such. Her zest for engaging them is limitless."
For Tucker, it's a simple concept.
"Kids are kids, and their basic needs are that they want to be safe and happy, and they want to learn," she said. "If you can provide that, then they're successful."
For the youngsters in her class, there is amazement in some of life's simplest lessons, such as watching caterpillar larvae turn into butterflies or taking a nature walk.
"So many kids, depending on their background, that's not happened in their life," she said. "That's a great experience. One of the neatest things about it is that kids that age are just 'eyes wide open,' unbiased about everything around them. Everything is exciting. I get so much from them by watching all those 'ah-ha' moments.
"One thing I think is important is that children absolutely deserve respect. They need to feel that they're valued. Every child deserves that. Most times when you give a child respect, then you get that back from them."

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

Another star-studded lineup headed to Spalding Hoophall Classic in 2015
Photo courtesy of adidasWith a field expected to feature eight defending state champions and fourteen of the nation's top 25 senior prospects, the Spalding Hoophall Classic will likely strengthen its reputation as high school basketball's top showcase event in 2014-15.
Thon Maker is among the cast of stars expected to be in Springfield next January.
The Classic is scheduled for Jan. 15-19, 2015 in Springfield, Mass. Basketball Hall of Fame Events and Awards Manager Greg Procino confirmed the following teams for the high school hoops extravaganza:
Archbishop Carroll (Radnor, Pa.)
Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas)
Bishop O'Dowd (Oakland, Calif.)
Brewster Academy (Wolfeboro, N.H.)
Callaway (Jackson, Miss.)
The Carlisle School (Martinsville, Va.)
Chaminade (St. Louis)
Christ the King (Middle Village, N.Y.)
Corona del Sol (Tempe, Ariz.)
DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.)
Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.)
Huntington St. Joseph Prep (W.Va.)
Montverde Academy (Fla.)
Newton North (Newtonville, Mass.)
Our Savior New American (Centereach, N.Y.)
New Hampton School (N.H.)
Northfield Mount Hermon (Mass.)
Paul VI (Fairfax, Va.)
Putnam Vo-Tech (Springfield, Mass.)
Roselle Catholic (N.J.)

St. Anthony (Jersey City, N.J.)

Trenton Catholic Academy (Trenton, N.J.)
Villa Angela-St. Joseph (Cleveland, Ohio)
Wheeler (Marietta, Ga.).
Bishop Gorman, Callaway, Carlisle, Christ the King, Corona del Sol, Paul VI, Putnam Vo-Tech and Sacred Heart are all coming off state championship seasons.
The top three 2015 prospects in the 247Sports Composite – Malik Newman, Ivan Rabb and Ben Simmons – are all expected to be in action (MaxPreps profiled Newman and Simmons here last week).
Other top rising senior attractions include forward Carlton Bragg of Villa Angela-St. Joseph (No. 9), point guard Isaiah Briscoe of Roselle Catholic (18), power wing Jaylen Brown of Wheeler (10), Jalen Brunson of Stevenson (24), Mali import Cheick Diallo of Our Savior New American (6) and center Stephen Zimmerman of Bishop Gorman (5).
Top five talents Thon Maker of The Carlisle School and Jayson Tatum of Chaminade headline the 2016 contingent (Evan Daniels of Scout.com reported that Maker was considering a jump to the 2015 class over the weekend).
The highlight of the 2014 Spalding Hoophall Classic was a dramatic 73-69 win for Curie (Chicago) over then-No. 1 Montverde Academy. The game was televised by ESPNU and Kansas-bound Cliff Alexander completely took over late in the contest, finishing with 30 points and 13 rebounds.
Due to eligibility issues, Curie later forfeited the victory.

The third child question & age gaps
Started by veggiepatchfamily , Dec 13 2012 08:33 AM
18 replies to this topic
Posted 13 December 2012 - 08:33 AM
Hi everyone!
I'm sure this has been done 1000 times but I wanted to ask again a little more specific to my situation.
We currently have 2 little boys. 3 y 4 months & 6 months.
DH and I are stuck in a place of what to do as far as having a third.
I know we would love our child so that's not an issue.
The concerns I have are
How much harder financially have you found it? As I am a mum who has to work to make ends meet (6 months off each baby) sending more then 1-2 children to childcare seems kind of pointless as it will take up lots of my wage. (We live a long way from dependable family so no option there).
We have a commodore and live in a little/medium 3 bedroom house (on 15 acres), would we need to upgrade house or car?
The other question really pushing me is 'when'???
The boys were 3 years apart as we had a miscarriage in between.
But it has worked for us, ie DS1 is toilet trained, sleeping through etc.
However I worry about their ages growing up as 3 years is quite a lot (as I am one of 4 under 5).
I thought maybe if we have another 18 months after the second maybe that will help bring them and ages closer together?
However financially for us it makes more sense to wait (another 3 year age gap) so DS1 is in school, but then that's 6 years between oldest and youngest.
How do your kids play together/share interests? My sisters two are 16 month apart boy and girl and play really well together.
Also how did it all work out once they are teenagers? 18 & 12 sounds like a huge gap!!
Please tell me about your family dynamics with children's age gaps, or even your own siblings.
My 3 sisters and I are very very close! DH who is one of 3 but they were all 7 years apart are only getting close now they are all older.
I know it's a very personal decision and no one can make it for me, but I'd love to know the issues around age gaps. Or how mothers feel who just decided not to have a third (as that would make life much easier and we could start getting stuff back together -ie financial).
Hope that all makes sense. Typing on iPhone as I put DS2 to sleep.

My 3 sisters and I are very very close! DH who is one of 3 but they were all 7 years apart are only getting close now they are all older.
I dont have kids yet so cant comment on your other questions. In terms of age gaps, this comes from my experience and observations with DH's family.
There is no easy answer - it depends on the children and their personalities and its something you cant predict. Ive seen sisters close in age be best friends and brothers close in age barely talk to each other but brothers 6 years apart be really close.
Sorry this is not much help. But what Im trying to say is dont have kids close in age assuming they will be friends. If it makes mores sense to wait another 3 years, then I would do that.

It is a tough one because if we had spaced our babies when it was the best time financially for us we probably would have never had more than one.
I know times have changed but I was also working and really needed to be working when we had our children and having them meant we lived on the smell of an oily rag.
Going from 2-3 was actually pretty calm and easy for us in terms of physically managing and DD1 was only 2.5 and DD2 1.5 when our 3rd was born but I did have to go back to work very soon after the birth, much sooner than I actually would have chosen to.
Our 3rd was our most mellow baby , she just slotted in very easily but we did have to trade in our car to a people mover which was also an expense that put us more in the red.
There are so many things that can be worried about that actually may not become a problem for you so it really does depend on how much as a couple you want a third child how you move forward.
I think the decision also should be guided by how much you desire to be back at work and whether your career will take a beating by being away for an extended period.
Lots of luck for your decision OP.

Hi, I have 1 sister and we are really close. We are 4 years apart.
I don't think 3 years is all that much really. 6 years might seem like a lot at first and sure 18 and 12 sounds like a big difference but when they are say 20 and 14 it would be different. 12 or 13 is a hard age no matter how old their sibling is LOL.
There is a 4.5yr gap between DD#1 and my twins. We didn't plan it that way but it just didn't happen until then even though we started trying again when DD#1 was 11 months old. They are close. Sure DD#2 and DD#3 seem to have a special bond but they are both close to their big sister in their own way. DD#1 and DD#3 are more alike in personalities and like the same types of things while DD#1 and DD#2 both have a love of gymnastics and share that together.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 08:55 AM
IME close age gaps don't guarantee closeness later. Teenagers close in age can be a bit of problem with competitiveness and being too much in each other's business.
In my family and DH's the larger age gaps led to better relationships later.
DH and his sister are 18 months apart, fought like cats and dogs as teenagers and still not close. They are both closer to their younger brother who is quite a bit younger.
My 2 sisters don't get along well at all. Again it is rooted in animosity as teenagers and a small age gap. Both get along better with me and a 5 and 3.5 year age gap.
Both my sisters spaced their children the same distance as they are from me! One sisters children are 19 and 22 and get along really well and always have. The other two are 16 and 11 and also get along well.
I have a 3.5 year age gap. This was for my sanity and to avoid the problems we have both seen in our own families. My boys actually play really nicely together despite the age gap. If we have a third there will be a similar gap and a 7 year gap from oldest to youngest. I am ok with that.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 08:59 AM
We are starting to try for our third this month. DS is 2yrs4mth DD is 9mth. The age gap we had between ours worked well, even though it was a challenge. I am lucky that I am not returning to work. I personally don't want to wait for a number of reasons my age being primary (and yes I know 34 is not that old, but for me I don't want to be having babies in my late 30's), I would like to have my child bearing days finished (although I like being pregnant) and I am of the school of thought to go hard now whilst we are in baby mode. Both my husband and I are of sibships of two so having three is going to be all new! Good luck and have fun with whatever you decide.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 09:06 AM
My kids are 15 13 and 6 I preferred the massive age gap We have a commodore, a small house with little space outside The boys have been sharing a room since they were 6 and 4 we havnt had too many issues, as for space it's just a matter of getting rid Of things they really don't use or need, if my 3rd had been a boy the two youngest would have shared. If its a matter of three carseats you can get 3 in a commodore but it's a tight squeeze , with my age gap this wasn't an issue. Financially it's harder now boys are teenagers than when they were younger because of the grocery bill and high school expenses and activities.and the rate at which they are outgrowing clothes and shoes!!!! The upside my boys love their little sister they all get along and she loves having her big brothers. They can help with watching her occasionally and my oldest uses her as an excuse to play in the playground with her. She has lots Of older kids in her life who are great role models and love to spend time with her. She's a confident outgoing child with adults and kids alike and the bOnd between them is beautiful. I imagine with 3 kiddies in child care you would be working to pay for the care. You may find you will need a bigger car with more space I dont think you need a bigger house, remembering that by the time kids are in highschool they don't need inside play space as such. But the space outside Good luck with your decision
Posted 13 December 2012 - 09:12 AM
Our third child is only 9 months old so I don't think we've fully experienced the impact financially of having three kids as he is breastfeed and we have reused a lot of our clothing etc from the older 2.
There is 3 years between the first 2 and they are either great mates or fighting just depends on the day. There is 2 years 3 months between the next 2 and I'm not sure how well they will get along as yet. So far it seems as though the oldest and youngest are drawn together. And I know in my own family I am the second of 4 children and there is 6 years between me and my next sister and she is truely one of my dearest friends (mind you I hated her passionately until she was about 17 ) . My sister who is 3 years older is not as close to me. I am also quite close with my sister who is 8 years younger and have been her whole life.
The age gaps has worked well for us though. Oldest is at school (although that doesn't actually make logistics any easier!). Second toilet trained shortly after baby arrived so really only had 2 in nappies for a very short while.
I have a great professional career so I have returned to work part time about 6 months after each baby has been born. Two in daycare is expensive but we are still in front having me work. I had intended to have a full 12 months off this time but work asked me to come back in whatever capacity I could manage so I have been doing 2 short days a week, with the help of my sister looking after the youngest. I return 3 days after Christmas.
We currently have a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1 living room house and we are starting to feel quite cramped and the house feels cluttered (which does my head in), so we are looking to sell and upgrade in the next 6-12 months, hopefully we can stay in the same area as we are currently only 1 block away from school and its great being able to walk to drop off/pick up etc.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 09:13 AM
I have 5 year age gaps between all my kids, so I don't think 3years is a huge gap!
Posted 13 December 2012 - 09:21 AM
The age gaps between my children are 3y 2m between DS1 & 2 and 4 yrs between DS2 & 3.
The first age gap was decided for us as we had some difficulty conceiving DS2.
The second age gap was due to a number of factors: DS2's medical needs with GORD, wanting DS1 to be at school, moving to a larger house and upgrading cars before even TTC our 3rd child.
I'm happy with our age gaps. DS1 & 2 play well together. DS2 does miss DS1 when he is at school but he now has DS3 to play with. DS1 loves being the one to teach the other two things.
Considering your age and DS2 being 6 months, I would wait.
Like PP have said, age gaps don't really determine whether siblings will be great friends. My DH and his brother are 3 years apart and not particularly great friends simply because they are just very different people. My brother and I are 23 months apart and good friends.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 09:28 AM
Thanks for some great responses!
Jess - I too used to think have kids close together and get out of that baby stage as soon as possible, but I am really enjoying each stage of my kids and don't want to miss it or just cope with it because I am too tired or rushed. (That's as I don't think I cope too well with sleep deprivation )
And by having a bigger gap I don't need two of anything, cots and cloth nappies).
I am a nurse and midwife and studying Masters of nursing, child, family and community so I will be a health nurse at the end of next year. I don't think time away impacts my career really.
The thing I struggle with most is I am a breadtfeeding mumma and find returning to work at 6 month difficult and sad! And challenging this time as DS2 will not take a bottle, despite multiple try's!!
It sounds like the age gap works for people! And I truely think I would prefer a larger age gap then no third child at all.
I think I am/was leaning towards another 3 year gap but really wanted some reassurance that it will work out and the kids will still be good friends with common interests (which if we have a boy next will be even easier).
I hadn't thought about the competitiveness between sibling close in age through high school as it didn't seem to be a big issue with my sister and me, but when I think about other around me I have seen it a lot.
Thank so much everyone! Now to go convince dh to wait
Posted 13 December 2012 - 09:41 AM
Our third is due in 2 months time. My girls are aged 5 and 3. In hindsight it would have been easier to wait another yr so that DD1 would be settled into school, DD2 would be at preschool and I would be able to spend time focusing on the baby.
The way it is at the moment - baby is due just as DD1 starts school - she is anxious about it but I feel i cant devote the time she needs as I still have DD2 around and im really tired from the pregnancy - doing my best
DD2 is 3 so doesnt need to go to preschool yet - so she will be be with me full time. the preschool she will go to the year is close to work not home so no point her going now as its too far and i cant justify the money.
All that being said - the age gap is good because they understand they need to wait, both TT, eat them selves etc.
I think 18 mth gap for a third would be very hard for me!!

My mom and 1st aunt are super close, talking daily on FB/phone/Words-with-friends despite living 2 states apart. They are 2yrs apart and regularly tried to murder each other as kids/teens.
My uncle and 2nd aunt are super close. They are 5 years apart and live approx 15 mins away from each other (much rarer in the US than here!)
My mom and 2nd aunt are super close, talking daily, visiting 3-5 times per year, despite living 4 states apart. They are 12 years apart.
Getting the picture? Basically, any combo works in their family and when 2nd aunt (youngest) was born, the other kids were 12, 10, and 5.
My dad is 3 years younger than his brother. They hate each other.
My cousins are 4 years apart and get along beautifully. Other cousins are 5.5 years apart and don't have much in common and annoy the crap out of each other but have serious sisterly love going on.
My half-sister and I weren't even raised together and we have tons in common at 5 years (almost to the day) apart.
Pretty much, personality is the key, along with parenting. My grandparents (mom's) were really hardcore about Family Comes First and it shows in how my mom and her sibs relate to each other as adults. My dad was raised in a travelling military family with grandpa gone a LOT and grandma constantly feeling frazzled with the natural sibling tensions that arise, so she just did the best she could but didn't realize dad was being bullied by uncle. This shows in their relationship (non-existent, as it is) now.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 10:53 AM
OP I can't tell you what you should do. But this is our situation. Financially it has not been that much harder. As children grow, their interests & possessions become more expensive, so even if you had 1 child you would probably overcompensate by putting them in 2 or 3 activities each week and buying them more stuff because you can afford to. With 3 we spread it out more.
I had 2 in child care for a couple of years & 1 at school, then 2 at school & 1 in preschool.
I had 2 yrs age gap between my first 2, which was crazy looking back, but you get through it.
I had 3 yrs age gap between my 2nd & 3rd, and that was lovely. He was more independent & able to be left in the other room for periods while I was settling bub. The only thing that was hard was the school drop offs & pick up, coordinating with sleeps & feeds. But that period is over after a few months.
We didn't change cars, although we would like a 7 seater eventually to allow for extra passengers/friends.
We have a 4brm house so each have their own room which I love, just before DD2 was born we extended to add a 2nd living area & later added a shower to the laundry so it's like a 2nd bathroom, another must-have for a family of 5.
Any other Qs just ask.

See, we'll have your 'hindsight' gap. DS1 will be in yr 1 and DD will be in preschool when DS2 arrives, which gives me a couple of days a week for it just to be DS2 and me, a couple of days with DD thrown in to the mix, and then the weekends with everyone.
OP i can't comment yet, i'm only 25 weeks pregnant with #3, but we're going to have a 4.5 year gap between #2 and #3 (6.5 years between #1 and #3). i think the only time it's really hit me just how big a gap it's going to be is when i worked out DS1 will be starting high school the year DS2 starts school.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 11:32 AM
I've got 3 girls, age 11, 9 and 6 (so a 2.5yr gap, then a 2yr 9mth gap), so 5 years between oldest and youngest.
It has worked wonderfully for us. At 2.5yrs, I've only even had one child in nappies. The cot was available as I moved the older girls out of the cot when they turned 2.
I've only ever had 2 in care - DD1 was still in preschool when DD3 was born, but I'd pulled DD2 out of childcare as I was having 12 months maternity leave. By the time I was going back to work, DD1 was in school. I actually loved those first few months, being able to have all 3 of my girls at home (DD1 was only in preschool 2 days a week).
In terms of the kids getting on, it's worked wonderfully with the girls. Part of that though is simply due to shared interests and personalities. I know plenty of 11 year olds who wouldn't get on nearly as well with a 6 yr old
House and car ... Kids can share a bedroom. The rest ... dpends on how your house is set up, the living space, the way the family uses the living space. You are on a large property, so you have space options there if you discover things are simply too crowded.
Car - you have a commodore, they can usually fit three seats. It's easier to fit 3 carseats/boosters when you have a rear facing seat as well.
Other expenses .. the only really big issues I can see are things like extracurricular activities - having to pay for 3. This can be solved by limiting them a bit more than you would if you only had one child for example. Then again, you could end up with kids who aren't really into much, or have inexpensive activites Schooling can be a cost factor if you are planning on using private schools. And I also think holidays can be an issue too - it's actually really annoying how much more it can be to take 3 kids on holidays rather than 2. A lot of places are set up for a family of 4, not 5, so you have to upgrade to a more expensive family room, or a bigger cabin etc etc.
Love love love having 3.

My parents had:
My older brother, then 15 months later, my sister, then 5 years later, me, then 7 1/2 years later, my younger brother.
Growing up I was closest with my older brother. I didn't have a lot in common with my sister, but my brother and I got up to all sorts of mischief.
My older brother & sister moved out when I was about 14, so my younger brother was about 5. He gets along best with our sister - probably because he and I annoyed each other too much as kids, whereas our sister wasn't there constantly and just did more fun stuff with him.
Now we are all adults and get along pretty well, and all kind of at the same phase of our lives (older brother & sisters kids are about the same age, mine only a little younger, and my younger brother will probably have some before too long as well).
So I don't think age gaps count for much.
If I have more - I would be having at least 3 years between. I enjoy being able to spend one-on-one time with my child, I don't think they would get that it I had them close together.

Gosh I would have loved one-on-one time with DD#2 & DD#3. I didn't get that obviously with them being twins. LOL
With the house and car it really all depends on what works for you. We were actually in a 2 bedroom unit for years and only moved about 16 months ago into a small 3 bedroom house with a nice big backyard. The girls bedrooms are small but after sharing for years DD#1 thinks its great having a room to herself and doesn't really care that its small. It fits a single bed, bedside drawers and a small desk so she's fine. And car wise I think a commodore should be fine. We only have 1 in a booster and just bought a Mazda 3 hatch and love it.
As Julie3Girls said the extracurricular activities can end up being expensive depending on what their interrests are. But there are ways around it. DD#1 and DD#2 love gymnastics and train at 2 different youth clubs rather than big expensive gyms. Its much cheaper going through a youth club. (DD#3 does gymnastics too but just recreationally and just at one place)

My DH is the eldest of 3 with a 3 year gap to his sister and then his brother came along only 13 months later. The sister and brother have always had a closer relationship to each than they have with DH but I think that is more related to personalities than age gap. On the other hand, the sister and brother have had several very large fights which have ended in years of not talking to each other!
Our son is now 19months and we are TTC now and although it is not the 2 year gap that I would have liked, it fits in with our situation right now and I wouldnt change a thing.
Good luck

From a Former Bulldog…
I received this comment from a "Former Bulldog" on my most recent blog this past Tuesday afternoon. It was so well done, I decided to publish it as its own post. Thank you for your compassion, Former Bulldog.
(Side note, the Bulldogs are Paynesville High School's mascot. Their football team recently went undefeated this season and are heading into the Section playoffs. A state championship sure would be a great ending to a whirlwind year for this big-hearted town. Go Bulldogs!)
Former Bulldog | October 21, 2014 at 12:19 pm
I too have thought a lot about whoever took Jacob.
I think there's a good chance he reads this blog.
I don't know if he took Jacob and kept him; I tend to think like Patty wrote that maybe he meant to let him go but something went wrong.
I grew up in Paynesville, in town, and am around Jacob's age. I remember Chester the Molester, as we kids called him. I thought he was a figment of our imagination until finding this blog back in May. I had always connected Chester in my head to whoever took Jacob. It was shocking to me to discover this summer that not only was Chester real, but we kids were very possibly right in our hunch that it was Chester who got Jacob.
Did you know we called you that, Jacob's abductor, if that was you, and if you're reading this? We thought you were a monster and maybe you wanted us to think that. Maybe you still want us to think that. Now that I am an adult with kids of my own, I know that you aren't a monster, because monsters don't exist. What you are is broken, and you did some very broken things.
I'm pretty sure you were abused yourself as a child, that things happened to you that very much shouldn't have happened. Things that weren't okay. Did you know that? That they weren't okay? Or did they happen so often that it seemed normal to you? Or is it complicated? Was there anyone who showed you love? Was it the person who showed you love who did the things to you that children should be shielded from? Or was there no love and only horrible things, and you have spent your life trying to get rid of the pain of your early years by doing similar things to children?
While I no longer believe you are a monster, you are still a figment of my imagination. I have no idea who you are or if any of that was true for you. If horrible things happened to you, as a mother, I want to say: I am so sorry that stuff happened to you that you felt you had to do horrible things back. The things you did weren't right, and the things done to you weren't right. If you were a part of our community, I am sorry that our community failed you, that it didn't have the tools to deal with someone with your level of pain. But you weren't alone in that: it didn't have the tools to deal with your first victims in Paynesville either, which is why that article in the Paynesville Press went unnoticed by our teachers and parents.
You taking Jacob changed all that.
You taking Jacob set in motion a vast course correction within the community. The Wetterlings, somehow, miraculously, through their pain, were able to set up their foundation and set up the Sex Offender Registry, and since Jacob's abduction, there is just no way that an article like that in the paper will ever go unnoticed by teachers or parents again. This is something we talk about now. There were teachers and faith leaders taken out of the game because of their sexual abuse, but only after you took Jacob. Victims feel more able to come forward. Justice happens more and more when they do. It is a different world, post-Jacob, I mean it still happens. But hopefully not as much and hopefully there is more help when it does happen and hopefully people don't feel like their only option is silence or perpetrating the abuse.
I would imagine you felt really powerless, as a child. I would imagine that your actions as an adult were about getting power back: having power over the terrified boys, having the power of surprise as you laid in wait, having the physical strength to outrun them and overpower them and scaring them into doing what you wanted…
I propose to you that that isn't real power, what you felt when you attacked those boys and when you took Jacob. It was fake. It was a temporary feeling of adrenalin, and I'll bet your actions made you feel worse in the end. Do you know what I think real power is? Real power is the ability to heal and transform yourself. Do you know who has real power? Your victims, the ones who were able to take what had happened to them and work with it and make their lives better not just despite it, but because of it, like what the Wetterlings did, and like what Jared did. Those are people who are truly powerful, my friend. Take a look at them if you want to learn about power.
There is no doubt that you are powerful, even though I believe your actions hurt you most of all. Look at what you have created. You took Jacob and the entire community changed. Even 25 years after the fact, your actions were so powerful that Joy created this blog and people are talking and thinking about it still. Maybe your taking Jacob was a cry for help, even if not a conscious one, help for you and people like you, and look: what you did had the consequence, in a twisted way, of helping.
But you yourself still need help. There are people who can help you, but they can't help you if they don't know who you are.
You are probably an old man by now, but it is not too late for you to experience true power. You are the one who took Jacob, you can bring him back. You can talk to the Wetterlings, and tell them what happened to their son. Tell them where he his. If he is dead you can't bring him back, but you can bring him home. Speak. It will transform your life. It will be a kind of redemption for you, but I believe it is the only way. You have the power to do it; you are the only one who does. Save yourself. By speaking, you have the power to heal not only yourself and the Wetterlings and the Paynesville victims and all of us who have been so affected by this case, but I also believe you have the power to heal backwards and forwards in time, so that the healing extends to the people who did this to you, and also to future generations.
That is a lot of power. Use it.Read More

In response to the Boston Marathon bombing, authorities are deploying a "security overlay" for Sunday's 13th annual Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon that will include uniformed police along the entire 26-mile route.
Security 'overlay' will protect runners, spectators Oklahoma City marathon
Plans are for anyone running or watching to be within sight of a law enforcement officer at all times, said Leon Gillum, security director of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.
Stepped-up security also will be in place at the start and finish lines downtown, around the federal buildings near the National Memorial, and at the Murrah Plaza.
The most obvious effect on runners will be a restriction on "running with backpacks or anything other than normal running apparel," Gillum said.
"We have a lot of different runners that come in that want to carry or run with some different type garb," he said. "It's counterintuitive … to allow people to run with a backpack.
"It's just common sense in light of Boston events."
Some 26,000 people are expected to take part in the marathon and associated events, including a wheelchair marathon and children's race. Add in spectators and the total exceeds 40,000.
Runners include a half-dozen who were still on the Boston course when the bombing occurred and were unable to finish, said MaryAnn Eckstein, a spokeswoman for the Memorial & Museum. They were offered free registration if they wanted to run in Oklahoma City.
The Memorial Marathon commemorates the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. It is the memorial's biggest fundraiser.
Runners with a good enough time can qualify to run in Boston.
The Boston bombs were concealed in backpacks left near the finish line.
Spectators' bags
Oklahoma City organizers are spreading the word to everyone — runners, visitors and residents who come to watch — that backpacks should be left at home or in the hotel.
Continue reading this story on the...
We have no reason to believe it's going to be anything other than a beautiful day and a beautiful race and a way to honor the 168 victims of the Murrah bombing in 1995 and to remember those victims of the recent Boston tragedy."
Leon Gillum,
Security director of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum
