FBC Flag Football Award Ceremony

It feels like every time I finally have a moment to sit down and write a blog post, I have to start it by apologizing for not blogging in a few days...that is just the nature of life right now-- with end of the school year, end of sports season, beginning of Summer, Bill changing jobs and fighting some depression episodes, graduations, etc. it has been CRAZY around here! I am hoping to get some writing done today as it is really hot and humid outside, Bill is at work, and the kids are cleaning their bedrooms and playing. 

The last time I blogged, I wrote about the end of the year celebration for Rebecca's American Heritage Girls Troop. That was not the only end of the season celebration that we had to attend that week. On Thursday, we attended the end of the FBC (Faith Baptist Church) Flag Football awards ceremony.



This was their first year in existence and it did show in some respects, but none-the-less the kids had a blast playing and it made for some good memories. I like the fact that it was flag football, so very low risk of injury. Also it was a Christian-based league so it was very positive and encouraging (unlike some other leagues that we have been a part of). If you have ever participated in Upwards sports, this church is loosely basing it's sports on that philosophy while trying to keep the costs down for parents. 

Anyhow, the kids had a blast playing and last Thursday they held an awards night to recognize the kids for their playing ability. 

Rebecca received 2 awards: One for MVP and one of for being the Best Leader on her team! 




Jacob won the award for most Christ-like on his team.



Benjamin won the award for being the best center.


The kids were so proud of their medals. I am proud of their ability to be good teammates and to have fun in trying new experiences. They have all 3 said that they will probably want to play again next Spring.
