The Only Kid

And so it actually happened.... Mark is now the only kid living at home. 

It's quite a monumental event and deserves a full post. I actually don't know how I feel about it...it's another transition and it almost feel unreal. 

It's now easier and simpler in terms of scheduling, that's for sure. But then it's also too quiet sometimes, and a bit lonely. The dynamics in the house changed and it's kind of interesting to see what we can make of it. Also, don’t be alarmed...we don’t just randomly take pictures of just Mark...this was so that we can have a record of how he likes his hair cut. 

Mark is a pretty easy going kid though, so he is a pleasure to have around most of the time. Getting him to talk to us is a bit tricky as he always says "I am just thinking..."-haha. He is just a bit more reserved than the other kids and doesn't just waste his breath on chatting. He claims, though, that he does talk a lot when he is with his friends, he just doesn't do that to us-haha. 

He is a very busy kid but likes to chill at home when he can. Does not like crowds or big parties, but does enjoy going to the stake dances and tournaments (of course). 

 We all miss Katya and Alex but we are grateful we get to spend extra time with Mark for the next almost four years. 

Lyana.
