Intros

Well, as many of you know, we are the Rapiers. We started small with just Ryan and Shannon, but before long we increased to three with the addition of Abby. Three years later, Braden joined our group, followed three years later by Logan. Recently we decided to expand once more and brought in Kate to bring us to a total of 6. Since none of this is real groundbreaking stuff, we have included a tidbit not known to very many about each person. So here goes:



Ryan Rapier - Ryan has taken up racquetball quite seriously over the last three years and has gotten somewhat good. However, he is feeling quite a bit of pressure as the two gentlemen he regularly plays with have recently upgraded their racquets to racquets that cost over $100. Suddenly Ryan's winning percentage has gone down. What will happen in this gripping saga of one man's obsession with winning vs. his committment to living which would be endangered if he were to spend over $100 on a racquetball racquet and his wife found out. Stay tuned.



Shannon Rapier - Shannon has long held a secret desire to grow facial hair. This was not known to anyone until recently when the Rapier family purchase a Wii game system. When given the opportunity to create her own unique person, Shannon created a female character with an unmistakeable goatee. Looking at this unique Mii on the Wii, others are starting to ask if maybe Shannon has also long held a secret desire to be a biker chick. We may never know.



Abby Rapier - Abby has long wanted to have a sister. Well, when that dream finally came true, Abby's obsession took a strange turn. Suddenly she wanted to take care of her unceasingly. Even volunteering to take her in her own room and read to her. Could this actually the beginning of an espionage thriller as Abby sets out to brainwash her younger sister with the ideas of mismatching clothes and gaudy earrings? Only time will tell.



Braden Rapier - Braden, who is six, knows more about anything technology based than any member of his family. Recently he pointed out to his father and mother that he could do things with their cell phones that they were unaware cell phones even did. If you should hear about the Rapier home being raided at some point by federal agents and the entire family being whisked off for government questioning, there is a good chance Braden hacked into some computer network he was not supposed to. However, if his current attitudes hold, the questioning shouldn't take long as he generally is more than willing to tell you exactly how he has done something, even explaining long beyond others ability to even care anymore.



Logan Rapier - Logan recently started trying to use the phrase "Holy Mackrel" only it is coming out "Holy Smackrel". That's really all I am going to say at this point because the fact that a 3 year old is even attempting this phrase is awesome to me, but the outcome just makes it for me.



Kate Rapier - The Rapiers have started to receive concerning phone calls regarding cloning. No one will identify themselves, but will make threatening statements regarding the whole idea of cloning. What is bewildering to the Rapiers is that they actually have not cloned their children, it just looks that way and Kate is not some bizarre recreation of Abby, she actually is a different person completely. However if Abby's brainwashing techniques are effective, this problem may only get worse for the family.



I hope you have learned something useful from this post. We look forward to communicating again in the future.
