Extras! Joel has children’s class and Good News Club on Tuesdays, Royal Rangers on Wednesdays, and plays drums every other Sunday. He still wants to come to Parents’ Night Out at Connections and has even been known to be a helper for a party or two. He was also a helper at two VBS Day camps by putting together the snacks and being a good example for the younger kids. This unit we had a few snow days and Joel had fun while that lasted. He got to go to a good number of Benjamin’s basketball games as well as play a few of his own. He had to play up to 6th grade so he’ll get to have another season at that level next year. We had the February birthdays; Nate, Hannah, Lilly, and Joel. We had a trip to San Antonio so Joel could go ice skating and see the family. When we aren’t running around for church or basketball, Joel likes to talk to Copilot and play video games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
