Hi!
We said goodbye to Ryan on Tuesday and many tears were shed. I just spoke to Ryan and he arrived in Germany today and will probably fly to Krygyzstan tomorrow. But, he said that Germany was having hurricane force winds so they may spend another day in Germany. We are doing okay, but we are all still adjusting to not having him around. Makenzie wrote "I LOVE YOU, DAD!" with each letter on a separate piece of paper. Then, she taped it to her wall above her bed. I walked into her room afterwards and she was sitting on her bed listening to some piano music on her Ipod. I asked if she was okay and she started crying. I just held her and we cried together. I've included some pictures taken when were at the airport with Ryan on Tuesday.
Morgan's middle school basketball team won their first game yesterday! Go Cheetah's!
Makenzie and Makayla started "Sport stacking" this week. Have you seen it before? The sport involves stacking sturdy, plastic cups in various formations in the fastest time. Makenzie has actually competed in the world championship sport stacking tournament in Denver for two years in a row! Yes, world championship tournament! People actually came from various countries to compete in this "sport". The gym coach at our elementary school has been coaching this at our school for many years. Each year over 80 students from our school participate and practice after school. This is Makayla's first year of sport stacking, and she can't wait to compete! :-) I'll try to remember to take a picture sometime and post it for you all to see.
Hope you are all staying warm!
Love you all!
Heather and family
