The clocks are now off from the actual time, but for me it's a little easier to get up earlier -- not because of the clocks, but because it truly is lighter earlier, and my internal clock readjusts easily to the increasing light. If only we could adjust our work hours to suit our actual biological rhythms, rather than constantly trying to fit our own bodies into some mechanical model. How much healthier we might be, if we learned to listen to our bodies, respected our needs, and honored the cycles of life!
Matthew did so very well at the state geography bee. He didn't make it to the final round, but he was polite and answered all the questions he was given to the best of his ability, even when he knew he was doing it just for fun. Although he missed a couple of the "easier" questions, he answered the last one (hardest round) with no hesitation! What a kid! We are just bursting with pride at how well he did and even Grant is excited about participating next year.
Matthew has glasses now... He is really cute in them, too. They are very similar to Matt's glasses.
Speaking of Matt, he and Dave have a new puppy, Holly. She is a darling little black lab puppy. Max isn't too sure what to do with her -- but although he misses all the attention he was getting, I think once she grows up he'll enjoy having a packmate in his own home.
