Cheyenne and Calianne had their last day of gymnastics this Wednesday.  It was a six-week class and they really enjoyed it!  They wanted me to come and watch this time since it was the final class.  I was really impressed with all that they had learned in six weeks!  I think it was really fun for them and a good experience.  :)

Thursday night was Savannah's Cross Country Banquet.  Kevin was teaching a class so just she and I went.  It was a lot of fun.  There was a lot of energy in the room with both the boys' team and the girls' team there.  Both teams had good seasons and new coaches.  All the kids got awards and Savannah found out that she lettered again -- three seasons in a row!  What a gal!  We are so proud of her for sticking with her sport of choice and doing so well there.  It's been a great experience for her!

Megan started to attend open court practice for basketball over at the junior high this week. Tryouts for the junior high team are this coming week.  Wish her good luck!

Mariah and Kevin started season games with their Mapleton team this week with games on Tuesday and Thursday.  They won Tuesday and just barely lost on Thursday.  I couldn't attend either game but Kevin reports that Mariah played great and scored most of their points.  What a star!

Kevin is in his third week of teaching an evening class for men struggling with pornography on Wednesdays.  We don't see him until after nine, and we miss him.  But, the class is a success and he feels like they are all accomplishing a lot together so that is a great thing.  He was also on TV again this week!  This time he was part of a spot about pornography on the ten o'clock news.  He's getting to be quite famous.

Ben seemed to get a "Round 2" of his cold this week.  He's been pretty whiny and easily frustrated. Poor me -- I mean -- poor Ben.  :)  We'll make it through!

Bethany has been feeling better and even had some friends over to play again this week.  It's nice to see her happy again.

Sarah and Megan, with their friend, Hannah, played a musical number in church this Sunday. Piano, violin, and flute playing "Love is Spoken Here."  They worked really hard on it, practicing multiple times, and spending a long time in the chapel on Saturday going over it so more.  I was really pleased to see all the hard work they put into it.  It turned out great, too, and brought their YW president to tears.  Awww!

I'm getting the cold everyone else has had now and I have a really busy week and DON'T WANT IT!!  Somehow, I don't think that'll matter much.  I'll get everything done AND my 2000 words a day.  I will.  Even if I don't know how just yet.

Good luck on your week, too!  See you next time!
