Ben - Became a chief resident and got selected to advance to Major next year. That's pretty cool. The chief thing I could do without though because so far it has been a major source of stress and a time suck. Which means Ben now has negative free time. Which means so do I.
In fun extracurricular news, our team the 'Silverbacks', won league play for Saturday co-ed 18+ teams. We went into playoffs tied for number one and: two games, one overtime, no subs and a round of penalty kicks later we ended up as rightful champs.
Avery - Completed (graduated from?) second grade. Attended a week long fiddle camp where she studied English, Old-time, French/Cajun and Medieval styles of violin/fiddle, crafts and dance.
Miles - See 'Lynn' below.
Cruz - See 'Lynn' below.
Lynn - I am full blown mothering mode these days with each at different ages with different needs (whatever mode I have been in the last 8 years seems like a cake walk) Although it is fulfilling and awesome and worth it, blah blah blah, the parasitic relationship leaves me with little to work with by days end (or mornings start), but regardless I still give myself new tasks and hobbies because that's what a modern woman does. Putting food on the table is not enough. Keeping house is not enough. Mere survival is not enough! Although it may be the number one accomplishment. Just yesterday I caught Miles mid-ride on the garage door as it was going up. Surely this was accidental...but no, Ben caught him doing the same thing the day before. Within the same hour Avery was discovered trying her luck with a razor in the shower. Her luck is good and her legs are free of that fine, nearly non-existent hair that plagued her. And I don't need to list the death defying feats that Cruz performs everyday, all to satisfy his tooth (I would say 'sweet' tooth, but it's also salty, nutty, savory fruity...), but I am running out of hiding spots for treats.
