The End

We have come to the end of the Basketball Season. Daniel learned a lot during the 12 or 13 weeks that we were involved in it. Can't say enough about that program. His awards banquet (with no food or snacks! I always thought a banquet was to eat and celebrate, but I digress...)His awards banquet was really great. All of the players received a basketball.

They had the Juggler for Jesus come. He was funny, entertaining, gave the gospel in a simple way. He presented the same gospel so many different ways with his juggling. We were impressed.

Thus we close the year on basketball. A good time was had by all.

Upward Basketball

I have so much to say about Upward Basketball. It is truly a wonderful program.

It provided an opportunity for Daniel to learn the game, learn sportsmanlike conduct and Christlike conduct. He won an award for most improved player.

One of the biggest things that Daniel has learned in Upward Basketball is that you don't quit when you are behind. With game system games it is just so easy for him to push the reset button when he isn't doing all that well. He really needed a real life situation where there was no reset button! His team has only won 1 game, but they have learned alot.

Would you all give a round of applause for the most improved player, playing Forward (most of the time) Daniel Millard!

What New Here!

There's not much new at the Millard house. Just doing winter things. Caleb has been taking guitar lessons and he really enjoys them. He has learned 3 strings and 8 notes! Whew hew!! His favorite song right now it Aura Lee. We all love hearing him!

Oh by the way, I should let you know that at the tender young age of 13 I found a gray hair in Caleb's head. I pulled one, but there is another one. He said, "Aw Mom!! Am I gunna look like you?" I told him No, he would probably look like Uncle Mark, my brother. And so the circle of life in the gene pool is continuing!

Loving Our Weather!

I Just thought maybe some of those that lived in the south were missing a little of the weather! So I am sending you some. I just took this picture this morning out the door of my apartment. We have had more snow in the past, and we are excited to have some more! It's been so cold. I would rather have it warmer and have snow than have it so cold without snow!

So much for the weather! Stay warm and dry all!

Memories

While we were together with Chris's family at Christmas, his mother brought some pictures for him and his sister to decide what they wanted. We found this picture of Caleb. Chris has looked and looked for this pictures because it was one of his favorites. We had a flood in our basement in Middletown years ago and we were just sure this was one of the pictures ruined. Behold, his mother had it all the time. What great gifts God sometimes hands us!

Caleb is standing under a Cessna 421 or, a Golden Eagle as it is sometimes called. He was such a cutie!

Chris and I wishing everyone God's best for the new year.
