Rules of the family dance competition
I’m not sure when this is scheduled to begin. I don’t have a costume (yet.) Just saw this today on the girls’ whiteboard / easel. I’m glad hair is required. That may rule grandaddy out, however, from formally entering.

Sarah’s Fine Arts Camp Underwater Self-Portrait
This is a self-portrait Sarah drew in the summer of 2010 at our church fine arts camp. She's underwater! 🙂
Sarah’s GPS British Accent
This is a video of the Children's Sermon on November 14, 2010, at First Presbyterian Church in Edmond, Oklahoma. Linda Birsner shared the message, and 5th graders Josh and Sarah played the roles of the lost motorist and GPS unit. The quality of Sarah's British accent is reflected in the question of at least one older lady who asked the pastor afterwards, "Is that little girl really from England?" 🙂

These issues usually resolve themselves in short order, but sometimes diarrhea in dogs requires treatment.

Alexander’s First Debate
These are my flows along with Alexander’s of our practice debate round tonight.
Alex has his first debate tournament next weekend in Moore. He hasn’t had a real practice round in class yet, but hopes to do one this week. Tonight he debated his AFF case and I was NEG. The resolution is: RESOLVED – The abuse of illegal drugs ought to be treated as a matter of public health, not criminal justice. If you want to learn about what that means, check out resurgencebehavioralhealth.com for more info.
Alex did really well, I hope he is well prepared for this weekend’s tournament. Last year when he took intro to debate I was dismayed he never actually got to debate in class or at a tournament, they just learned how to debate by watching and talking about it. They also wrote cases.
I hope Alexander has a good experience in debate. He has done really well in class. I’ll be eager to hear how things go this weekend at the tourney. I’ll be judging there for Classen.
