Soccer Star

We are trying a children's soccer league for the first time this spring. Kara is on a team with 5 other kids and Gary is the coach, although he doesn't know much about soccer. Kara has played 2 games so far and we try to keep it not too competetive by not keeping score, etc. There are no goalies so it's easy to make goals.

Kara is good about getting in there and being aggresive with the ball and she was able to kick several goals. Dwight is too young at this point to be on a team, but he has practiced with the team before the game. Now we just need to teach the kids how to pass!!!

Happy Easter

We had a fun and busy Easter this year. We tried to intentionally spend time almost each day last week reading about the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. When we told the story about Judas betraying Jesus, we used 30 dimes to illustrate it to the kids. Later on, Dwight took some of the coins and declared that he was being Judas! He later changed it to Zaccehus, much to our relief.

We also did a Seder meal and watched the Jesus film which the kids seemed to enjoy. They took turns pretending to crucify each other!! We also dyed eggs and the kids and I also made a big Easter basket to put on the wall to decorate. On Monday we went to Maquekta and Davenport so we had some fun family time.
