Oh, it's such a stuffed life with kids, isn't it? There seems to be little time for anything else than the obligatory stuff, but when you look closer... at least some of your daily hours are spent on doing something voluntary.
Atte has picked up two new things to do. He goes, with Make, to a model railway club at our town church. The kids get to both drive the model trains and in time they will learn the maintenance and landscaping tasks of a fairly big model set. And when he's not there, he loves to fly! The Microsoft Flight Simulator has totally taken him, and it's truly cool to watch him learning to read the real instruments in a plane's cockpit, and learn the genuine basics of civilian aviation. (Make too has a few flying hours under his belt by now...)
Reko has started soccer last week. He seems real enthusiastic after he got bitten by the Euro Champs this summer; his skills are not top notch compared to most others in the group but at least for the time being he makes up for it by going headlong into the game (sometimes literally).
Annu is trying to accomodate herself to a work with extra long shifts (even 24 hrs at a time), and she enjoys the rewards - days off in the middle of the week - immensely. There's plenty to learn and internalize yet, so the job at this point is probably more draining than it will in time be. She loves it though! She's kept up with her jogging, and taken up swimming on the side as well. The boys in the family try to keep up with her :)
Make has joined an ex-work buddy's band, so the drums stay in the picture very much. He even remembers to take his earplugs to rehearsals nowadays, although remembering anything else is something of a chore. Oh well.
