Lots to report on but first:

Lincoln bowled his first strike tonight! And then a spare right after that. Pretty good night for the boy. He’s in a beginners bowling league. He usually bowls a 40 each game and he refuses to use bumpers. His determination is very inspiring. Even after throwing many gutter-balls in a row, he keeps coming back each week. Lincoln gets himself pumped for bowling each week by listening to System of the Down (Downs?) on the car ride with his dad. I took him tonight and suffered silently through this horrendous thrash music (although it is all left wing, liberal – at least it’s not all bad).

Andy is at a ‘travel soccer’ practice for Eva. Eventually she will have her blog up and running. It’s going to be about the trials and tribulations of having a sibling with special needs. Eva deserves a lot of credit. As irritated as she gets with him, she is always a great sister to her brother.
