Ryan's eighth birthday party

Family: 

We're lousy parents. Actually maybe we're just guilt ridden parents. We have not thrown one of those spectacular birthday party's for either of our boys. No ponies, no clowns, not even a trip to Chuck-e-Cheeses. But this year things changed. Amy was on the ball and reserved a couple of lanes at the local bowling alley. I hit the local party supply store for goody bags, and by God we threw a real kids birthday party. It took about four frames before the kids became more interested in tag than actually throwing those eurethane spheres down the lanes.

Ryan starts the second grade

Family: 

Ryan started the second grade yesterday and he had a great first day! His teacher, Mrs. Gorman, is great and Ryan, Amy, and I are looking forward to a great year.

Mrs. Gorman has a great reputation and we're confident that she "runs a tight ship." Actually, I probably shouldn't use a naval metaphor since Mrs. Gorman is an air national guard veteran :)
