Elliott's Bringing Home the Hardware


The bottom picture is the trophy Elliott got this year for his basketball efforts. The original plate had his name spelled wrong but we got that fixed. Though they didn't have a winning season, Elliott played well and the coach was nice to acknowledge the boys' effort and character.

The top picture is of Elliott's pinewood derby trophy that he won tonight - BEST LOOKING car! Second year in a row! And as I said, he did it all himself! Well, I mean I didn't help (although I am friends with the judges!). He did get help from a friend on cutting it out but he did the design and work on it. It wasn't the fastest car in the field but it wasn't designed for that. I think about 60 cars were entered this year.

All else is pretty quiet. I am spending some time with friends helping them pack to get ready for their move later in the month. Ashleigh has lacrosse practice daily. It has been warm out and nice. And the squirrels have not gotten into the new feeder!
