THE LAST NIGHT!!!!!

Finally! AWANA is over for the year. Last night was awards night. Zachary finished his book, so he got a stand-up plaque that says "Excellence Award." Elyse finished her book too, and her plaque has Sparky on it (of course, the light is shining on it and you can't read it).

When Zachary's group was on stage and they were handing out the awards, the leader talked about two parts of the book that had to be passed. They handed out the first awards and Zachary got the one above. Then they described the rest of the book that is much harder to pass. Two students passed that, she said. Then she called Zachary up there to get his award. Zachary said, "I didn't finish that part of my book." The leader said, "Our records show that you did." Zachary said, "No, I didn't, but I am close to finishing." So, the leader praised him for his honesty and then she looked out at me in the audience. I shook my head "No" because Zachary didn't quite finish this part of his book. The next leader praised Zachary again for being a man of God and being honest. We were proud of him!

Betsey is home! YEAH! We have her for almost two weeks before she heads off to Spain for the summer.
