November 2006

Date Night. To encourage the kids to foster healthy relationships with each other, the missionary Deanna, created Date Night. All the kids 13 and up were allowed to ask a a person to "dinner and a movie." The boys picked up their dates and paid for the food. The restaurant Arturo's Pizzaria was created, and Arturo and Martha were the host and waitress. I got to be the photographer. :) It was lots of fun.

Here are a few "around the school" pics so you can see what it looks like. Doesn't our big orange building rock!? Here the kids are waiting in line for lunch.That dog is our "guard dog" Hershey in the picture. She has little to no energy and is a bit stinky, but when someone unfamiliar passes by, she does her job.

This is the breezway where the 4 classrooms are located. These are my 2nd and 3rd graders...only 4, but a handful! You can see that one of them is ticked off at me for some reason (I can't remember what I got onto him for).

Thanksgiving. I received the blessing of the a plane ticket to fly home for Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful time with the family. The great thing about have photographers for sisters is that you always get great "family snapshots." Pictured: Michael Criner(brother-in-law), Abby, Dad, Rachel, Mom, and me.
