First Day of School 2005

Holly’s starting 5th grade and Andrew’s in 8th. Holly still has to leave before the sun even comes up, and Andrew gets to wait until about an hour later. Though the kids are now used to their new school, the first day is still exciting.

We Missed the 2005 LD Shootout

Ace and I missed the 2nd Annual Texas Long Distance Shootout boomerang tournament in Houston this year. Ace was not able to defend his junior championship from last year. Hopefully we’ll make it back in 2006. I’m happy to report that a Boomerang Association of Dallas (BAD) member was the champion. Congratulations, David Hirsch, for throwing 126 meters! Full results are here on the BAggressive site.

Michelle’s New Stick Furniture

Michelle's new Stick FurnitureMichelle went to the Canton Trade Days today and came back with some stick furniture made in Arkansas. I knew I shouldn’t have let her go to Canton with a friend who had a pickup. Anyway, Michelle likes it OK, and supposedly it looks rustic.
