Day 116

Shout Out...

This is a repost from the youth minister at our church.  Brendan went on his Confirmation Retreat this weekend to Lake Junaluska, and this is a photo of their group!

Day 52

Tonight our church hosted its Third Annual Dodgeball Tournament!  All of the money goes to benefit the local food pantry (also started by our church years ago).  Brendan was asked to play on a middle school team so we all went to support him.  I have mailed my best long range lens back to be cleaned and calibrated so I only had an old kit lens.  It took horrible photos, but it is what it is.  Here is a shot of the boys waiting to play.  They ended up coming in 3rd place!

Another unique thing that happened today is that a turtle was in our driveway when JC and I headed out for our Friday lunch date.  Thankfully JC suggested that I go and grab my Nikon to snap a couple of photos.  This little guy tucked into his shell so quickly when I picked him up to move him! Ha!

Day 55

Brendan and his Confirmation Mentor helped with Communion at church this morning.

I am so proud of him for volunteering!

Day 6

This is Brendan!

He is 11 years old and in the 6th grade.

Today Brendan starts Confirmation in the United Methodist Church!

It is a big day!  The start of his three year journey!
