Through no fault of his own, Andrew was rear-ended in his Scion xB and was rammed into the car in front of him. His car ended up looking like an accordion (and was totaled by the insurance company), but he was relatively unscathed. This was a six-car accident and we’re really lucky he wasn’t badly hurt.

Andrew graduated from Midlothian High School with the class of 2010. He had lots of family support in the stands, including folks down from Oklahoma. It was a pretty emotional night for the ladies as you’ll see in the photos. After the ceremony, the graduates went to a lock-in at the Main Event entertainment center where they played laser tag, billiards, and video games, and bowled and ate until dawn. It was a pretty neat way to not have a bunch of new adults out on the roads overnight. We are extremely proud of Andrew and can’t believe there’s only three more years for Holly. 6/11/2010 update: Added pictures from the graduation party.
Great news! My other kid is talented too. 🙂 Holly brought home her art portfolio today and she’s got tons of excellent pieces. Here’s one of my favorites. It is “scratch art” of our dog Scout. I’ll be scanning and photographing more of her work in the near future.
6 musical acts got together to play in a fund-raising “Concert for Haiti”. Ace’s band was one of them. Because there were so many acts, they only got a short time each, but they made the most of it. Andrew played vocals, keyboard, and even played accordian live for the first time.
After a decent thunderstorm, we were treated to a double rainbow.
Andrew has finally digitized some of the artwork that he has created over the last couple of years. He’s got it on his Facebook page, but I wanted to keep another copy, so I’m posting it here. Below are a few of my favorites. Click here for the full gallery. 
Scout’s winter coat was so thick and long that he was really getting hot playing outside. We took him to the groomers for a really short hair cut. He looks so much younger and even a little smaller now. He’s definitely more comfortable and we’re sweeping and vacuuming less of his hair up every day. Click for more pics.
We once again visited Enchanted Rock on Spring Break. After a fun hike and climb, we headed to Austin to check out the SXSW (South by Southwest) music scene downtown. The Austin area was so crowded that we had to head several miles north of town to find a place to stay. We headed back downtown the next morning and visited an art museum, did some shopping, and tons of SXSW people watching. I have lots of pictures from Enchanted Rock, but I wish I had the camera out for SXSW. Lots of weird, wild stuff.
