My Brother's Child

Astute is so much like my brother. He looks like him and even snores like him! I hate that Astaire is no longer with us, that stupid bus accident and all Astute recieved was a measly sum of simoleans. Not even enough for a college education if he desired. He is very much like my brother, he loves sports and always wants to play catch and run and is very active. Maybe he'll be a athlete as well.

Little Family

Astute and Thomasina are so excited about "big kid" school. Clark thinks that we should buy them special backpacks for the new start, I think a new outfit will suffice, but we will see what happens. Especially with money being a little tight.

I wonder what the future holds for our family. Sometimes I wish I could see the future, look into that eye that sees beyond this simday. It's just something I like to think of when sipping coffee or during carpool.

Birthdays

The children are well...children. Astute and Thomasina celebrated thier child birthday with little fanfare. We ate cake, lots and lots of cake, they recieved presents from thier grandparents (toys and money) and we sent them to bed to prepare for school the next day.

Busy and Tired

Work is so busy lately, managing updates and back-ups and keeping things running behind the scenes technically is very hard. In addition to maintaining records and the historical society and the library and the newspaper!

Yikes! I needed a break! So I took the day and spent it browsing through CupaJava. I ate a snack, had some coffee and even saw the new shipment of books from Pennelson Publishing. I feel refreshed now.
