Ben started his job this week and there has been some adjusting. Setting an alarm, keeping a schedule and habitually attending work have all been recent developments. Prepare for exciting tales of commuting on the bus in future posts.  Day 1 was pretty smooth.  Day 2 seemed to be more hectic on the bus.  The jury is still out on the overall experience. 

Kelly doesn't start work until next monday and has been enjoying her last week of freedom. She went down to the Library of Congress yesterday and got her "research" card. This allows her into the main reading room and access to the entire library. She spent about an hour there just sitting in the room and looking around in awe. Mr. Stegmann, you would have been in heaven. So many old books about old people, right up your alley.

Mo and Dex don't have much to report. They still like to eat(sort of - though much more so if it is people food), sleep (as frequently as possible) and poop (well, if you have read this blog, you know).

Congrats Dad on a wonderful coaching career. You passion for coaching is an example for all of us and you have impacted the lives of so many people through your years in athletics. You have been a great leader, outstanding coach and the excellent father all at the same time. Enjoy retirement and being a fulltime grandpa. Sparta athletics won't be the same without you.
