Gabriel joined the Jr. High Cross Country team. He got up every school day to run 2+miles at 6:30 a.m. He kept improving steadily through the season. The picture is from his District meet. Gabriel finished 7th out of the 7th grade boys. He earned an individual medal and a team medal (his team won 1st in district).
Katrina has been asking to take gymnastics classes for YEARS (sound familiar Grandma?). We finally signed her up. Katrina is working in the "all-around" class. She does tumbling, vaulting, balance beam and bars. Her coach says that he is doing great. She is mastering the skills, has good balance and form. Her coach has suggested we keep her in gymnastics since she enjoys it and picks it up so quickly. The photo is a bit dark since there is no flash photography allowed.
Abagail enjoyed her second season with the Youth League Volleyball team. She has really improved in her serving and bumping. She has gained power and confidence. Her favorite part was grabbing the volleyball and heading out to the backyard to practice with dad. Eventually the entire family would end up out their playing together. Her team had a hard time this year. It was priceless to see their excitement when they won a match after a few discouraging ones. Perhaps that meant more then winning every time would have...
