Kate and Claire and their Austin Tennis Academy teammates competed at Texas Junior Tennis Team championships in New Braunfels. The team won every single match and qualified for the 2009 National Championships later this year
Claire and Kate also had main draw wins on the singles side.

Kate and Claire Cahill have been in the ATA program for 8 years, dedicating upwards of 20 hours a week. While
Scott and I camped out in the front yard last night as his and the girls' Spring Break week winds to a close.
Here's an instructional video on how to cook your marshmallows from the inside out. Listen the sound the marshmallow makes as it cooks. Enjoy!

Deb is with Kate and Meg, while I took Claire and Scott around. Logistics looked like they could work until damp courts delayed Claire's 8am start time
Kate has been working extremely hard over the last couple weeks taking on of the pictures we took from the prior post, and turning it into a painting for her art class. Here it is:

Kate needed a nice picture to paint for her art class. Since it was a beautiful, blue sky, January day here in Austin, Kate, Scott, and me headed down to Town Lake and around town to take pictures of some of the things that make Austin, well Austin.
Here's a slideshow of some of the sites we captured.

Since it was Sunday, we went over to the Vatican
