Update!

Dad is well into harvesting hay and is a little short handed, as Ben is only able to operate the baler because everything else is controlled with the right hand. : ( School has of course been in full swing for several weeks and cros country has had several races. Ben is doing pretty well though he is getting side stitches on the right side, and he can't squeeze his right thumb to distract himself. Jake doesn't like school. No surprise. But Zac at least liked his teacher when he had her before so he could have an enjoyable year, though Jake's gloomy attitude seems to be rubbing of on him a little bit. Mom is still working at the hospital and is taking vacation every time she can manage to squeeze it into her schedule.
Of course lets not forget to mention that Ben had a race yesterday, and he finished pretty well, though he did have a side stitch and he rolled his ankle in the first mile. The cross country teams are pretty big this year. Ben said the girls and boys both have a full varsity and JV team.
Mem is back in school. She started back the first of this week. This semester could be a little more daunting than the semester before.
Zac's birthday is today, and Jake's is Monday. Yay one year older and wiser too. Happy Birthday to you!!!!
