Wot?

Katarina has started school holidays - she has three weeks! And has a bunch of friends over to dissect the ball, look at Facebook, eat pizza, and watch a movie. Good times!
Hannah hosted her dad at her class "Soup Day" - they made soup and a soup recipe book, and have had a great term exploring this theme. Zach also entertained his dad in his class, complete with themed food and live entertainment (from Zach and another classmate). Zach had more rep trials on Sunday and we will hear this week whether he has made the team or not. It is a bit hard to know what to hope for; wonderful opportunity but lots of extra practice, training, and fund raising.
Janine has been working on her sense of humour, in fact, they all have, and often have us in fits of laughter at the table. More good times! We are so blessed. Janine is facing a number of challenges at school with friends that she is concerned for, but she mostly handles herself with maturity - except for youth group, where she just has a good time! One of the people in church prayed specifically for Janine and Katarina, giving thanks for their work, and asking for a blessing, which was great for her to hear.
I am away to Wellington this weekend for Connect, the national youth leaders conference.
