In no particular order...
Anna's car was totaled, so we are down to 2 cars. Anna was not driving, it was someone else. We have settled with the insurance and got a piddly check. We are enjoying the lower premiums while we shop for another car.
Anna is enjoying college and has come back once already--with laundry in tow. She left refreshed and full of groceries. She has joined an a cappella group on campus called Note Worthy. She is making friends, going to classes, enjoying all the typical college stuff.
Gabriel turns 16 tomorrow and while he is not getting his driver's license, he is still excited. He has been busy with rowing, internship (ORNL), classes and thinking about college.
Marian is busy with 6th grade, more homework, chorus instead of band, Math Club, heaving her heavy backpack to school and hanging out with friends. She is somewhat an oddity among her friends, as she doesn't like football nor does she want to hang out at the football games. Remember that football is a religion in the fall in TN.
Bogdan has a bit of a respite at work, by a stroke of bad luck. Some very technical piece of measuring machinery broke and it will be down for 5 weeks. So, the neutrons are "down" and he is not on call for 5 weeks. Karen says "yeah" for no late night calls! He also had time to fix the broken dishwasher (well, since he broke it, it was only fair that he also fixed it.)
I am busy with Yes on 1, a pro-life campaign to pass a ballot amendment in TN. Lots of phone calls and emails, and hopefully, we will pass it!
