Life has been stressful lately for a number of reasons but one is going away (soon). The roofers finally started on our roof on Saturday and got half of it done. They started about 7:30 am though and it was ==loud==. My daughter complained that the booming was making her bunkbed shake. It’s getting done though and it looks great so I’m not complaining too much (I think the rest should get done tomorrow.
My wife went out of town Thursday through today (yearly book club beach trip) so it was just me and the kids these last few days but that went well. I think we had some real fun (including watching my son win his soccer game).

- In tragic news, pregnancy deaths have risen by 56% in Texas since the 2021 ban.
- Instagram added teen accounts. Hopefully it is better for kids (but I’m guessing not. I’m just glad mine aren’t clamoring for social media yet.
