Shot at Ottowa Sportsmen’s Club
These past two evenings I have been shooting. It has been a year, so I was a little hesitant about how I’d do. But, somewhat surprisingly, the first night I shot an Expert score (819 out of 900) and the second night I shot a Master score (571 out of 600). Here are last night’s…

Muggy, muggy, muggy
We are on a vacation of sorts up at my parents’ house in the Upper Peninsula. It is in Chassell Township near Michigan Tech University, for those who know. Anyway, the weather has been hot and muggy with frequent nightime rain. Yuck. Hopefully it dries out soon. I’ll post some pictures before too long.

Lila’s first climb up a ladder!
This file is 680KB, so it may take a little time to load. (You also need Flash Player 6 to view it. You can get the free player at Macromedia.com.) You can imagine Chey’s reaction when I showed her this! 😉

Big sis’ coming through; Chey wrapping up the thesis!
Lisa, my older sister, came down and stayed with us for a little over a week. She helped take care of Lila while Chey was finishing up her Masters thesis. She was a tremendous help; I’m sure that Chey would not have her completed draft (80 some pages, not including appendices) had it not been…

Lila and Ethan at Johnny Rockets
We comb Lila’s hair. Really. To no avail. Also, note the devotion with which Ethan sucks down his drink. Or maybe it’s brain-freeze, I’m not sure.
