b.u.s.y.

This is going to be a busy season for the Clark Clan.  We started this past week and won't stop until spring ... the first week of March to be exact.

Hannah is going to be in a junior production of Annie (tomorrow!) and has been attending weekly play practices since the first week of November.  She began practices right as her Music Makers class was wrapping up.  

Hannah & Samuel will both be participating in Upward sports this year - basketball for Sammy and cheerleading for Hannah.  This program is through our church which is nice and it offers us some wonderful opportunities to reach out to our community.  Bobby & I were asked to be on the committee for Upward and we agreed.  This means that we are responsible for opening and locking the gym for practices one night a week.  Thankfully Hannah & Sam's practices fall on our night to open/close so we won't be running up and down the mountain every day.  Bobby is also coaching two b-ball teams as well (one of them is Sammy's team, the Cheetahs). 

This week was unbelievably busy (and it's not over yet!)  Monday was our first night of Upward, Tuesday Hannah had play practice, Wednesday was Awana at church and tonight was the full dress rehearsal for Hannah.  Sweet little Amos just goes with the flow, sleeps wherever he lands and lets the ladies at church hold him & snuggle him while I work. 

We're going to be busy but it's going to be so much fun.  Sam has been wanting to play basketball and we're thankful that we're not only able to be there to support him but be a part of the program as well.  And we're also thankful that Ms. Dory (the pastor's wife) has provided many outlets for Hannah's creative/musical interests.  We have so much fun with our brothers and sisters at Bountyland so I know that it's going to be a pleasure serving with them over the next several weeks.

Here are just a few pics from the past few weeks...
