Forest Hill Library Ground Breaking

Last week, Mom went to the ground breaking for the new Forest Hill Library. As many of you know, Dad was the first Chairman of the Library Board. We'll be purchasing two bricks, one for dad and one for Maw as a commeration to them. Here's a photo of Mom tossing some dirt at the groundbreaking with Gerlene Harvey and ex-Mayor Malinda Miller.

Zoo Pictures

Here are some photos that Mom took at the zoo. Aren't we all cute? We were very sorry that Mandie couldn't come with us, but she was where she needed to be with Brian and his family since Brian's grandfather passed away last week. Keep them in your prayers, and enjoy the photos. Hopefully we'll have some more photos that Suzy took soon (hint, hint, Suzy)!

Congratulations, Kile!

Kile graduated on Friday from fire training school. The ceremony ended with a traditional "sliding down the pole," something they can't do until graduation. Congratulations, Kile!

Grad School

Carrie is very excited to have received her first grad school offer. UT Austin has accepted her with a full tuition waiver plus a teaching fellowship worth $15,000 per year! She's still waiting to hear from other schools and should know by next week.

Help!

So something has been going wrong with my car for quite a while and John's done a few things to it, but still hasn't been able to figure out what's wrong. He wants to take it into the shop as soon as possible so it will be up and running smoothly again. We were wondering if anyone in the family has an extra car that we could borrow in the meantime? I would have to drive it to Dallas every day, that's the only problem. If anyone can help out let me know! Hopefully it won't take more than a week to get my car diagnosed and fixed!!

Kile's Graduation!

Hi everyone! I, Damaris, am trying to get as many people as I can to come see Kile graduate from Fire Academy boot camp. The graduation ceremony is going to be March 16th, 2007 at 4 p.m. to roughly 5 p.m. I know lots of people will be working but please try to attend if you can. If you have any questions or can attend please email me or call me or post a comment on the blog.
