Busy

Our normal routine is fully launched, and it's pretty busy. Duchess continues to do extracurriculars up the wazoo - basketball, kung fu, Mandarin, and swimming, to the tune of eight hours a week - and wrassle with social weirdness at school, plus pending adolescence. Skipper's also taking swim lessons (during Duchess's swim team practice) which she likes, and is more comfortable at school every day.* Cook is juggling work and some volunteer cartographic geekery on the side. I'm trying to find a job, not get oversubscribed in volunteering at the schools, and be a decent person. Busy!

*We have begun a regular schedule of after-school playdates with her best friend, a ridiculously adorable boy who lives not far from us and shares Skipper's tendency toward shyness combined with loudness. They take turns bossing each other around. Cook has taken to calling him "Pitstock."

Yay - Pitstock (Version 1.0) makes an appearance! Your busy-ness sounds good. Trying to be a good person is a full time job in and of itself.

months go by

We are alive! Not much to report. Cook has a new job, still in government, but doing a different kind of work. I have the same job. Duchess ...
