The Trick -or- Treating Begins...

Pray Then Play Basketball Banquet

Another great basketball season at First Baptist Church. The players were honored at their basketball banquet for their efforts to learn and play cooperatively with each other. We celebrated by having a nicely catered dinner by Johnny's and receiving trophies with those who support us.

Nolan is proud to earn another trophy.

Haley's smile shows her excitement about earning her trophy.
The Dominating Duo, Nolan and Haley Julius

Mom's Birthday Celebration

Mom's birthday dinner was held at Corkey Bell's restaurant in Palatka. It was a gorgeous evening to eat outside on the bank of the river with the sound of the live band playing in the background. The family is always entertaining with plenty of interesting conversations. Mom should be proud to see how many generations she made possible. She continues to love and support all of us each day. She is dedicated to her Lord and Saviour, her family, her friends, and her prayers. What a blessing it is to share this remarkable day with each other.

Classroom Waiting Rooms

Check them out...Rachel, Nolan, Carter, Haley, Ashleigh, Emily, Jordan, and Abi. A beautiful bunch of kids enjoying their afternoons while their parents finish up their work day. Being a teacher's kid (as all of these are) makes for long hours at the school. They all seem to make the most of it though.

Behind the Scenes during Basketball Season

Nolan and Haley love playing for their

Nana and Papa Akridge and Grandpa Sam.

Haley loves sharing the court with

one of her best friends, Emily Loose.

We Love Our Orange and Blue

A special treat it was to share Nolan and Haley's

Gator game experience with Aunt Renee.

We had a blast cheering on our Gators.
