Awana Bible Quizzing 2009

This past weekend, Syndi traveled to Marietta, GA for the
Awana Bible Quizzing competition. Her team competed against 8 other churches from the North Georgia region.
She and her 4 teammates were quizzed on Bible facts and verses from their T&T books. It was the first year a group from Pleasant Valley North Baptist Church went to the competition, and they did well for being newbies.
Syndi had her own practice sheet, which she reviewed on the trip to the event. Sylvia and Junior went along to cheer her on! Great job Syndi!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day!
Hope you enjoy a great day! Syndi has been attending an art class for several months.
She has worked with several types of art, one of them being pottery. This week, Syndi gave her Mom a Valentines Day gift, which you see pictured above. She made a heart-shaped jewelry box and... ...a necklace with a heart pendant.
She also made a matching necklace for herself. You can even see the "S" impressed into the heart.
Pretty neat, huh?!
A beautiful gift, SyndiLu!

The Spelling Bee

Syndi was in her first spelling bee a few weeks ago.
She placed second! Click on the image above to read the article and see the pictures.
We didn't know, however, that she would be getting her picture in the paper!
She didn't want to go at first, but agreed.
She was very happy with the results, and wants to do it again next year!

Way to go LuLu!
