It's been a month of milestones here at Myers House. Jackson had the gall to turn 14.
FOURTEEN already! We celebrated by taking the posse to Dave & Busters.
Which is like a casino for teenagers. Featuring every sort of arcade and virtual game imaginable. I tried the virtual boxing, and couldn't raise my arms for 3 days. And I got my face morphed into a cat in one of those photo booths. And for the record I can't imagine why 14 year
olds are a tad embarrassed of their mama's. The boys held their own basketball tournament.
Later in the month we celebrated the 4
th birthday of pirate Ben. My cousin Angie went all out with a Halloween themed party. It was a riot.
My Mom has turned into a party animal in her retirement. She had the best costume at the party. The kiddos trick or treated throughout the house and Mom was stationed to give out some silly straws. She'd moved the walker so the kids could get through.
But the most memorable milestone in the past month was on the field on a Friday night. Our own Nick dressed out for the last varsity game of the year. I could not have been prouder watching him as a freshman run onto the field.
I'm proud of both these guys. That varsity jersey was earned with an enormous amount of sweat, grit and talent.
