Bevans Tribune 2012 edition


Stuff Happens - Other than Broken Appliances!

  
 We’re thrilled to report that no more than two major repairs were needed at the Bevans household in 2012.  Newer replacements from 2011 were credited for the dramatic decrease. 
   In business news, Todd usually enjoys being an attorney, although the occasional crazy client can be taxing. 
  Todd and Alli are enjoying Friday date night dance lessons.  Todd is, surprisingly light on his feet, and quite a swell dancer.  So is Alli (not surprising).  They are anxious to keep older kids from having a life lest they have to start finding sitters again.
   Sophie is wrapping up the final quarter of her first year as a teenager. Her mother and father have mixed feelings about this whole teenager thing.  They are apprehensive as two more sisters are hot on her high heels.
   Janelle and Brooke are enjoying the glorious age of 11 when they are still free of the restrictive self-consciousness that comes with adolescent hormones.  Lack of self-consciousness is wonderful for the two of them, but at times embarrasses their older (“restricted”) sister.  It also prompts them to ask for things like umbrella hats for Christmas.
   Sassy and independent, Claire is busy making her mark on everything she comes across.  She is excelling in school and reading like an old pro, complete with passionate inflection – she can’t help herself, she’s a passionate girl.  Which may explain why she allegedly punched a boy in class for trying to look at her paper (details are still a little fuzzy).
   As the baby of the family, Eden pretty much gets away with everything.  When asked what her chore is (as everyone else is sweeping or doing dishes or something) she always answers “to being cute!”
