Mason
is bigger this year, so is his competition. He's in the 135-142 weight class.
Unfortunately there are five boys in his school in the same weight class, and
one is pure muscle, so Mason hasn't wrestled varsity yet. The JV competition
seems to fall pretty quick. One kid new Mason from soccer and said to him on
the side lines "just make it quick and painless, I don't want to
suffer." He's eager to win his way to varsity.

Noise cancelling headpaper
Grammy thought that
the kids music was a little too loud for her. Toilet paper in the ears seemed
to buffer some of the noise.
Cramming in more than the stuffing
Our holidays seemed
a bit rushed this season, mostly likely because they were incredibly rushed
this season! I'm backward blogging, having gone on the longest hiatus from
blogging in a very long time. But I can also say that we definitely packed it
in!
The teenagers
outnumbered the others this year in a very unorganized Thanksgiving gathering.
We hadn't planned on much of a gathering, but, as always, the beach house was
open! Rocío, Borja's little sister is living in Vancouver for a year, very
close to my work, so she and her roomie Lucy joined us. Sarah brought her
exchange students. Devan and the Averill teams, including David and Daniel, all
hung out. Lots of music, dancing, laughing - the perfect holiday plans. The
rest of us cooked and cleaned! :)
Except for Bentley, he kept guard.

Reader
Mason has finally begun taking reading and school seriously. He reads 1,000 page books and retreats to his room to read for fun. What a change...and we are happy about it.
Chalk wall
Our kitchen is almost done. I know I've said that before, but I really mean it this time. Well, I hope anyway. In the meantime we put up a chalk wall and began decorating.
Last drive
She got to pick the car on her last drive. Now she waits until she's 16 - then vroom vroom.
Sounders playoff
The Sounders had a home playoff game and a friend of mine gave me six extra tickets to a suite. Kenzie had to babysit, so she couldn't go, but David and Daniel were happy to fill in! Sounds won!
