Hear ye, Hear ye....






This years winter formal theme was Medieval. We served the kids with only knives as their utensils and went over proper Medieval edicate. It was good fun... except the part where I spilled water on their foreign exchange student during the washing of the hands. (oops) Leo and I dressed up as usual for the festivities. Afterwards we took the kids to the traditional go-carting and arcades. Yes, that is Leo doing dance dance revolution with one of his students. I did it too.... (truthfully it was kinda' fun.) The other student is our kiddo' Ryan. (The one with the sword.) We've sorta' taken on Ryan as our own. He is very dear to our hearts and comes over for dinner every Tuesday. Leo sometimes takes him out to learn how to drive. He's a fighter for what is good and right in a world that has so much hardship and a follower of Christ with a heart of gold... and we love him dearly. Over the past years Leo has taken on quite a number of boys that are truly family to us. It's so sad yet exciting as they grow older and neat to watch them turn into such amazing young men. We are so proud of all of our guys whom Christ continues to mold (and I don't mean like bread) and are so blessed to have the opportunity to be part of each of their lives.

looks like a fun time. i'm a little intimidated by the kid wielding the sword. and you and leo look like you could be in First Knight or a Dungeon and Dragons game. its very cool that you got authentic swords and garb.
