[Mishmash] Almost 10 years ago...

[Carole Bower]

 wow, i wondered how long we've been doing this.  we have it pegged down to
at least 11 years now.  dirk is really growing into a handsome young  man. 
he's at the age when they really start to get interesting as they have so
many thoughts of their own.  hope he wins his contest.  my daughter went to
africa on her honeymoon - awesome trip.  it wasn't cheap either (lol) as
they also stayed in the luxurious hotels and resorts.  don't really think
one wants to stay any where else.  she said they laughed a lot about what
they call "luxury."  let's see a pic of rya too - she must have grown a LOT
since we've seen her.  and catch us up on her.

...Dirk was born.  Yes, folks, in a few short hours (12:07 a.m. Eastern
Standard Time) it's Dirk's birthday.  It's hard to believe that 10 years has
passed already and many of you were around when I Ieft for the hospital.  He
s grown up to be a pretty great kid who does well academically and already
has a goal in life -- to be a Marine Biologist.  Not sure that will happen
since he may change his mind, but he sure does read an awful lot about fish!
 I've attached a photo of him we took on our trip to Canada this summer.  We
used this photo when he entered the National Geographic Kids Magazine
contest for a trip next August to South Africa.  Cross your fingers and say
some prayers.  He'd love to go and he did a great job with the essay he had
to do for it.  They choose 15 kids and 2 teachers and we think he's got a
good chance.  Of course, we're slightly biased. :-) If he does win, it'll be
a battle in the Holzman house as to which parent will go with him.  We can't
afford to have the whole family go -- the trip is worth $20,000.  They stay
at very luxurious resorts - several hundred per night.  I'll be sure to keep
you posted.
 
Hope you're all having a great weekend!
Ingrid
