No Flash!

by

This week’s theme at I Heart Faces is “No Flash!” The flash is actually the one thing on my camera that I feel comfortable turning off, so this week is great. 🙂

Here’s my kids’ entry. It’s from a day ice skating. I think that all of my favorite student pictures come from ice skating. They’re just so happy out there.

My adult entry is  a picture from our trip to Prague a few years ago. It’s a big tradition in much of Eastern Europe to paint hollowed out eggs and hang them from pussy willow branches for Easter. During Lent, there are Easter markets (Ostermärkte) everywhere. I try to limit myself to two eggs a year so I won’t get carried away. They are simply beautiful, and so much variety. While we were in Prague, we met this lady who was hand painting her eggs right there while we got to watch. Amazing!

Join The Track!

by

VCS Track Meet - Crop Track season began today and I’ve gotten a lot of help recruiting team members from my favorite Korean runner. She’s also my only Korean runner, but that’s besides the point…

“Join the track!” she says to everyone she comes in contact with. I’m looking forward to having a lot of fun this season, and she is determined to make sure there is a team to enjoy.

Please keep the track team in your prayers this spring as we start getting into shape and preparing for track meets.

My kids entry is this cute little guy who had his face painted as a white tiger at Fall Festival last year. He’s giving me his “tiger face.”

My adult entry is a picture of Bethany and the Barrel of Monkeys game. She’s also sporting a monkey hat because monkeys were the theme at Matt’s birthday party last year. Hmmm… maybe I should have saved this in case I Heart Faces has a monkey theme one week.

Elementary Ice Skating

by

Each year the entire elementary school goes ice skating one day a week for about a month as part of their PE curriculum. It really is such a fun time. There are a lot of pictures of this here: Ice Skating Photos

This year I captured a few videos for you to enjoy.
