This year Elliot turned 17 years old. He has now graduated in my book to a “fairly experienced driver” and he did get through his first winter of driving in the snow unscathed, so I am able to quit worrying about him (for the most part 🙂 )
Gifts for Elliot always seem to have a BYU theme and this birthday was no exception! He is still the biggest fan in the family and he hasn’t even gone to school there yet!
Having played racquetball for two seasons now, Elliot is really improving and enjoyed winning several matches. For some reason Waterford has about half the kids that play private school racquetball in their region. We have two teams, so often our kids end up playing each other which is a little lame. It’s nice that Clark and Elliot can play each other and that they can take turns wearing their (very competitive but in slightly less better shape) father down. I even tried playing a bit after not playing in over 25 years and I’m as bad as I ever was with only a few community ed lessons shortly after we were married – I will leave it to them!
Bananagrams is an short easier version of scrabble without the board.
