*Crying*

To my great distress, I cannot upload the pictures! =( Our computer is running. But, all of our programs have been erased. One of our friends is trying to work on it..thankfully!

And I would just install the Canon program on our laptop..but, it's slow and I don't want to risk using it. If anyone has suggestions, I'm open to any.

We are still here..

Hey! Sorry for the lack of posts...our computer crashed and we are using our laptop. I have lots of photos to post....and I was just about to post a segment called: "Never before seen on your screen..." and post all the pictures on our computer that I have never posted. Due to embarrassment, etc. But, now that all of our stuff is on our other computer...there is no way of getting those pictures.....SO, I am going to post our Christmas pictures, etc. if I can ever figure out how to upload them on this computer!
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
Until Then~Ali~

Strength:

Yesterday Adam wanted me to draw a "temporary
tattoo"..=) He went online and found this symbol..
So, I had to draw it on one of triceps.

Chinese symbol for strength:

It was an ink pen, so it will wash off.....i hope! jk =)
So, how do you think i did drawing it free-handed???

..and so it begins!!!!

The Patriot Varsity Boys made a big time showing to everyone
in attendance at the Collegedale Jamboree.
The team started off with a win over CAYA in the first
game Saturday, knocked off the Atlanta Adventist Academy,
then capped off the evening with a win over the CAYA JV Team.
The Patriots started off the day Sunday where they left off,
beating the Georgia Cumberland Academy,
then off to a decisive victory over Battlefield Adventist.
Defense was the key to all five wins, with
the largest points allowed being 52.
The Junior Varsity Patriots gained experience
going head to head with all these teams, and ended the
day with confidence, upsetting the Atlanta team
in their final game. One common theme of the weekend
was how disciplined, well trained, and great attitudes
all of our players displayed during the jamboree.
The coaching staff and the parents left Collegedale
encouraged about our program.
To God be all the glory! GREAT JOB PATRIOTS!!!!!
WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!
