Hello all!  I would like for you to help me welcome a new addition to the Dirst ( and Rebounces ) Family.  Bill's wife Shelley gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on Friday November 10th.  Everyone is healthy and well.  Even 4-year-old Andrew Dirst is handling the transition well.  I am sure with his help, Emerson will learn all the finer points of race car tracks, monster trucks and skyscrapers before she turns a year old.  We have decided that there could be some basketball in her future as her fingers appear long enough to palm a ball already.  She also appears to be a good sleeper which is a characteristic she might want to pass along to her older brother for the sake of his parents.

 Congratulations!  Beautiful people make beautiful children!
