Junior Year Kick-Off!

The tennis season begins in early August. Here is the team in Lubbock doing their pre-tournament "MOJO Rising" chant. Photos below: Lane, Luke and I heard Jake talking to the entire team before this photo was taken. Then, we saw everyone bow and heard Jake lead a prayer. We asked him about it later. He said he asked Coach Bullard if the team could pray before each tournament. Coach said, "You bet!" Permian played two different tournaments that day, so Jake circled the team up twice and said prayers. Below prayer: Jake and Preston playing doubles, and then Jake playing singles. Yes, his tongue comes out every time he serves!

Satin Strings went on a retreat in the mountains of New Mexico. Lane chaperoned this while I stayed home and worked the tennis fund-raiser! I thought Lane did a pretty good job snapping some photos. Along with learning their new music, one of the activities is a challenge course.

 I asked Lane what Jake was doing in the photo below - he said he was yelling, "Ready!" before the giant swing took off.

I had to find at least one photo of Luke! Andrew and Luke helped me with Meals on Wheels. We noted on one of our direction sheets that one client was deaf. I watched from the car as Luke signed to her. It turned out she did not do ASL, but I was proud of him for trying.

 Satin Strings opened at the Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center. 

And finally, the first day of school! Hard to believe I have a junior in college and a junior in high school!
