Upward Cheer is Over!

Saturday was Hannah's last game. She has really blossomed in confidence and skill through the last couple of months. She started out pretty shy, intimidated, watching the other cheerleaders to make sure she was doing the right moves, and not very loud. She ended up being one of the loudest ones, looking straight forward, confident, and leading cheers! This is a big deal for a shy little girl! I was very proud of her! She really had a lot of fun!

Here are a few pictures from her last game. I think I'm finally learning my new camera too, which helps:-)

Hannah and Coach Nicholette:

Nicholette is only in high school, but she did a fabulous job with the girls. They all really came a long way under her coaching. She was patient, loving, and encouraging. She taught them a lot of cheerleading skills that will help them if they pursue this further. She had them cheering the entire game and had them coordinated and focused. They were the best group of girls that we had seen out there as far as skill. The kids just loved her!

On another note, Jamie and I were invited and went to our first local homeschool group meeting Monday. This will be the same group that we will be involved with next school year. It was sort of awkward, because we are the newbies and it can be a bit intimidating being around some people that have literally homeschooled for 15 or more years. But, I'm hoping that my kids can make a ton of new friends! It is an exciting time and while we may be a little nervous about all the logistics, we know that God will be holding our hands all the way. 3 more months of public school!
