Basketball for Shecklet #4

Three of the four Shecklets are giving basketball a try this season. One of the neighboring cities has a program that introduces kindergarten kids to the sport. For four Saturday mornings, they get to practice dribbling, shooting, and playing some fun games. Shecklet #4 is already asking when she can sign up to play basketball again 🏀

Papa Dale

The Shecklets are blessed to not only have grandparents who they know and love but also great grandparents. Their great grandpa, Papa Dale, died this morning after 91 well-lived years in this earth. We pray Jesus welcomes him to heaven with loving arms. We will miss him, but have great hope that we will see him again.

Pumpkin carving 2018

Only one Shecklet wanted to carve their pumpkin this year. We made cinnamon and sugar flavored seeds per Shecklet #2’s request.

Pink Sister

Our church held their annual craft and bake sale this morning. Shecklet #3 asked if she could buy a pink habit for her American Girl doll. We sent pictures to her godfather, who introduced us to the pink Sisters when we visited him in STL two years ago.

B-ball for Shecklet #3

It was Shecklet #3’s first b-ball game day today! The girls played two games and improved so much between game one and game two! So proud of them!

Studying ancient Rome

Shecklet #1 won a class game today and the prize was getting to wear this:

He is really enjoying middle school and loves his social studies and science classes.
