Baltimore, MD

I was in Baltimore this past weekend for a youth event called Quake. We really had an awesome time. The two main speakers were wonderful and related so well to the kids. One of the speakers Agapa, whose real name is Dave, is a Lutheran hiphop rapper artist. I had never heard of him but I've been looking into him and he is very big apparently, has about 6 CD's out, and is very good. Anyway, the kids loved him and I also got hooked and had to buy his latest CD. His is the first picture of this set. It was crazy hat day, so that's why he looks like that. The other two pictures aren't of him.

Geography Bee

The Geography Bee took place last Wednesday. One of my 6th Graders, Steven, won. It was nice having the whole school there to watch, even though the little ones had a hard time being quiet. I was the official judge of the Bee. What power!

Bingo Night

Bingo Night at Our Savior. It was alot of fun. On one round I was actually the first person to call out bingo, so I got to get a prize from the first call bingo table. Of course I came away with glittery silly putty. The prizes were geared more toward kids. But, it was a good time all around.

Teacher Bulletin Board

Each month a teacher gets the big downstairs bulletin board to make up. I was given January as my month to decorate the board. Here is what I ended up with. I’ve already had a few teachers pop in late tonight while I was working and their words were, “That is so adorable”. Success!!! Thanks Mom for the idea of penguins!

Rugs

Here are the rugs in my apartment that I got for free from Teresa. The first one is the one I received when I moved in and the second one is what I just got yesterday.

Dec. 23 Night

Allison, Matt, Nathan and I decided to head into Washington D.C. last night for a quick look at the lights. Here is the National Christmas tree in front of the White House. There's a picture of the White House too. Sorry, we decided not to waste camera space on the National Menorah decoration.
