Well it has taken One nigh on a month to make one's way to Acceptance that Hulk is now a teen firmly entrenched in our household.
Unlike her earlier days as a small child, the house is now replete with grunting communication, a lack of listening, carelessly discarded personal things, and many a strange smell.
Still it is quite an accomplishment for Salsa Girl and I to have survived, not only the party of a dozen teenlings, but also the whole growing up process.
Thankfully, now that we have a small adult, the hard years are now behind us.

In more recent weeks we have had a visit to celebrate a more longevitical occasion for Doctor David. He and Grannie A visited for several days of milder celebrations which filled the house with merriment, garrulous communication, loquacious listening, absent-mindedly discarded personal things, and sweet smells of sustenance.
All in all a good month for significant celebratory activities.
