Family Quiz for 2014

As usual , at the end of 2014, I went back and read through the journal I keep and was amazed at the many things that had happened during the year that I’d forgotten. It was a tremendously full year. While I have the impulse to wax lyrical about it, what seems to be more enjoyable and generate more interest are the family quizzes reviewing the years.  In fact, I think it’s getting to become a bit of a tradition. So here is the quiz for 2014. Since I stuck with questions about those who are most likely to see it, this is probably the easiest family quiz yet.

1.        Who went on vacation and ended up in the emergency room?
2.       Who quit their job and began their own business?
3.       Who  fell into a swimming pool fully clothed?
4.       Who  moved from the city to the suburbs?
5.       Who had a moose in their back yard?
6.       Who took a trip in a submarine?
7.       Who was elected president of his class?
8.       Who made his first communion?

I got all right but two. I didn't know Maggie sang in a Christmas program. I thought the published writing was a trick question (seemed to obvious) and maybe Lora was published in a Law Journal or something.
Thanks for the fun quiz!
