Update

Some randomness from last week...

Katie and some girls from her choir were asked to sing the national anthem at the elementary school veteran's day chapel. They sounded wonderful!

This is the awkward time that they realized they came up a song too early and had to stand there because they didn't know the words to sing along! (Mr. Mercer sounded great, though!)

This is Mr. Leenstra welcoming a 90 year old veteran to our school. He was wearing his WWII uniform, which was really cool. His comment, "It still fits, too." Sidenote: I was seriously scared that this gentleman would get hit by a flying playground ball on his way out to the parking lot after the assembly. So I told some kids to stop playing for a minute while he went by. I hear this kid yell full-volume, "Don't hit the veteran!"

Kam played 6th grade softball this year. It's a short, low-key season. We'll just say they had fun. Their season wasn't terribly successful, but some girls made a lot of progress. I enjoyed helping out at some of the practices and Scott had fun coaching third base during the home games. (He ran them every time!) Kam looked good out there. It was fun to see her confidence after playing RBY.

Some Christmas card outtakes...Feel the love!

In their defense, the camera was on a timer and we were just trying to get it set up. :)
