Amanda had a volleyball game this afternoon against Crossroads Christian School.  For a new school, they have a good middle school team! They trounced us.  Our girls looked young and inexperienced ( which most of them are).  As a biased mom, I can say that my daughter played very well, however.

Jason had science today at the Barton's house. He goes to their house two afternoons a week to do science with two other boys his age. It is something he really looks forward to.  Last week, Tammy took them to a nearby rock quarry to see if there was anything they could see, since they were studying rocks and minerals.   A man in the office there actually got in their van and drove them around the quarry and showed them all kinds of cool stuff! The boys were thrilled. 

Eric had his Eagle Board of Review last week, so now he is officially an Eagle Scout.  Congratulations, Eric!  

Basketball practices have started two nights a week~ Mark is coaching the varsity boys this year, and Eric is playing on that team.  Mark really enjoys coaching, and has been reading coaching books and spending lots of time planning out his practices.  Jason goes to the practices too, and the 8-year-old is right in there doing drills with the high schoolers.
