Throwback Thursday: January 2014

If you have ever thought Zilpah was a good name for a paperdoll...

you might be a PK (preacher's kid).

Grace writes the names of each paperdoll on the back.  The one at the bottom with the bright blue skirt is her favorite, Princess.  The one at the top is mine, Emily. 

She also has a paperdoll named Bilhah.

Grace (7 at the time), our newest basketball player, was ready for her first game earlier this year.

And Josiah (11 at the time) was the one who encouraged her to put on her game face...

Grace's team:

She was delighted to find that she was not the smallest on her team of 1st through 3rd grade girls,  even if only by half an inch (if that!).  

Throwback Thursday: Tee Ball

Awwww...such sweetness!  Here is Robert's 2003 tee ball team lined up at the fence waiting for a turn at the tee.  That's Robert (at age 6) wearing number 13.

One of my favorite photos of Josiah...
