Sean decided that he wanted to play soccer this fall, and Jeff ended up coaching! I truly think the Tigers were the cutest soccer team out there!

Second Grade
Ian is in second grade this year! He loves his teacher, Mrs. Sweeting. We enjoyed meeting her at the open house. Ian was very proud of his new Star Wars backpack and lunch box!
Indianapolis
Ian, Sean, and I were able to spend some time in Indianapolis this past summer. We had a great time with family and friends. They especially enjoyed the Monon waterpark! It was also fun meeting Sarah Hutcheson and her girls at IKEA. We were even able to end the trip with a quick trip to the Wilderness at the Smokies waterpark in Sevierville.
Family Camp
This past summer, our church put on its own family camp for the first time. We had a wonderful time hearing God’s Word, spending time together as a family, and hanging out with friends.

Vacation
My parents’ 40th anniversary was on November 20. We celebrated as a family back in May. We spent time at Disney World, on Sanibel Island, and in Savannah. It was definitely a trip we will never forget!
Truth Trackers Program
Each May, our church’s Truth Trackers kids put on a program. Ian was in Scripture Spies, and Sean was in Tiny Trackers. This was Sean’s first program, and he had a lot of fun doing it!
Ian’s Awards Program
Ian had a wonderful year in first grade. He learned a lot, had fun with friends, and loved his teacher, Miss Dunn! At the awards program he earned the citizenship award as well as the scholarship award.
Ian’s Chapel Program
In May, Ian’s first grade class presented a chapel program about growing in Christ. They all did such a good job! After their program the Foundation Brass ensemble did a concert. Needless to say, it was an exciting day to be at chapel!

Easter 2011
The day before Easter, Ian and Sean went to a fun activity. They decorated eggs as well as a cookie and enjoyed a puppet show and face painting. There was also had a huge Easter egg hunt outside. They looked so handsome the next day at church!
Construction Site Visit
We have thoroughly enjoyed watching our new worship center being built! Back in April we were able to take a tour. Mimi, Papa, Jeff, the boys, and I all walked through the building. Everyone except Mimi climbed the ladder to see the second story. It was a little scary coming down the ladder, but we all made it!
Boone, North Carolina
During spring break we went with Nana and Grandad to a little chalet in Boone, NC. It was a beautiful area! The boys especially enjoyed the spiral staircase in the chalet and the original Mast General Store.
Fun with the Guillens
In March, our dear friends Newton, Loraine, and Isabel Guillen came for a visit. We had such fun showing them our home, our church, Bob Jones University campus, the elementary school, and downtown Greenville. The only problem was that their visit was way too short!
