What's up in Halls?

Welcome to our new Blog. We heard everyone was doing it, so we had to try it too.

I'll try to add something of interest everyday, but there are no guarantees I'll be able to publish anything of interest to anyone but me.

So, it is Saturday, March 3, 2007. The kids both had birthday parties today at one of those places with inflatable bouncy-house things. Those places really wear out the kids. Nick had baseball tryouts and one of the coaches told me he was the 2nd pick overall. I am expecting to get his big signing bonus in the mail any day now.

Sarah will start playing soccer next week and Yvonne volunteered (read suckered) to help with the team again. I'll be on the sidelines taking pictures and taking Nick to his baseball games.

Both Nick and Sarah's basketball season will come to an end next week. Sarah has made a lot of progress this year despite being one of the smallest girls in the kindergarten to 3rd grade league. Under her coaches excellent leadership (Yeah, I got suckered into being her team's coach), she scored 4 points in last nights game. Because most of the girls tower over her, the entire stadium roared when she scored her 1st basket of the season. I was so stunned I could not press the shutter button, so no picture of her success.

Nick is becoming quite the basketball player. Fortunately, it appears his height genetics come from someone other than me and he might have a future in this sport. He is very competitive and is either grabbing the rebound or knocking someone down in an effort to get the rebound. I told him he gets 5 fouls and no use in not getting his money's worth.

I'll try to put up some pictures from when I was able to press the shutter button as soon as I figure out how.
