Christian Education Week and the Celebration of Learning

Each year we celebrate Christian Education Week with a list of fun activities for the kids through the week and wrap things up with Grandfriends Day on Friday.  This year the school did a Spring Festival for the community that was themed Celebration of Learning on Wednesday night with a repeat performance on Friday for Grandfriends Day.  Brenna loves being a part of the Junior Choir and had been practicing the songs for weeks singing in the shower, at dinner, and during homework sessions.    

Basketball, Basketball, and More Basketball

At the end of April we wrapped up what has been our longest run of basketball ever.  It started back in October with the Huron Lakers.  After finishing that season we immediately jumped into Upward Basketball, which is a christian-based league sponsored by one of the area churches.  Shortly before Upward finished it's season, Brenna was given the opportunity to play for our schools Girls Junior Basketball Team.  All together this accounted for seven straight months of weekdays practices and weekend games, sometimes as often as three time a week.  I even served as assistant coach for the school team.  But, as much as I love to watch our girl play, it was tiresome by the end of April.  I didn't get a lot of video or photos from the Upward or SCS Junior Team, but I did manage to get some video of their pregame routines.  The kids love the intro as much as the game itself.

The Run Down

Here's a random assortment for the Run Down from our fall and winter!  There were school plays, church campouts, a Dancing Under the Stars Gala, arts and crafts, hockey, a long 3-week span that Jacob was away for work, and lots of snow!
