Here are some pics of my new classroom.

We got a call at around 11 p.m. on Friday night from some friends inviting us to Branson for the weekend. We left Saturday morning and enjoyed a great weekend!

While we were there we swam, shopped the outlet malls, visited Branson landing, played mini golf and took the kids to a little kid amusement park.

Both Allie and Ryan made friends with Drake the dog, who was VERY sweet and put up with lots of rough love from Miss Allie :)

Thanks to Dan & his family for hosting us in their beautiful home!

We loved the place and had a great time. :)

Ryan's Basketball Camp

Ryan's attended his second basketball camp last week. It was the Tyro Christian Church Basketball Camp and was instructed by the ladies basketball team coaches from CCC. After the second day he had a little trouble with some friends at the camp and didn't want to go back. Jeff talked with him that evening and convinced him to continue the last two days of the camp and just focus on his basketball skills while he was there and not worry about socializing so much. His last two days of camp went much better.

I am glad he took Jeff's advice, because on Thursday when I picked him up from Jeff's office after the camp, he had won 2 trophies! He is only 5, and the camp starts with age 6, so they moved him up to the 6 year old group and he took 2nd in the free throw contest and won a trophy for a drill called the Mikan drill. I am very proud of him for sticking it out and enjoying the last two days of camp. The camp had a big attendance and it seemed like an excellent camp with focus onworking hard, working as a team and respecting God.
