2011 Field Day

All of our boys enjoyed their field day this past Saturday. They all performed great and brought home quite a few ribbons. Great shots above of them in action.

Band Concert

The Spring Band Concert was last Friday night. Milly, Wade, and Hunter all performed very well. Notice that Hunter is much taller than Milly now. Last summer Milly was taller than Hunter!!

Keith in Malaysia

Keith is in Malaysia this week at a teacher's conference. He is staying in a very nice resort and enjoying warm weather and a beautiful view of the ocean from his hotel room. He heads back to Taiwan this Sunday.

Soccer Shots!!

Both Hunter and Levi had soccer games this past Saturday. They both played in two to three games. They won some and lost some. Good shots of them in their soccer uniforms.

March Madness!!

Although we live far away from March madness we still try to predict who will win it all. This year Milly and Page did not want to pick but all of us boys did. So far, Keith is winning but still a lot of games to be played.

Outside Service

We had to hold our worship service outside this past Sunday. God blessed us with a beautiful day!! It was a great day of worship. Above are some pictures of the service.

Hunter turns 11!!

Hunter will turn 11 on March 13. On Saturday, March 12 we had a birthday party for him. All the kids enjoyed a scavenger hunt, cake, ice-cream, and a fun game of tag football. It was a fun day. Hard to believe but Hunter was 5 when we moved to Taiwan.

Church on the Move!!

Literally!! We rent out a local middle school for our church services. The room we normally rent out is being renovated for the month of March. So, we have had to move to another room that we have used in the past. However, this next Sunday we are unable to meet in that room. So, we decided to have church at a local park. Pray that those that normally don't hear the message will be able to hear!! Above -- see our sign to point people to the right direction -- which could be in a lot of different locations.

Champions!!

As stated in an earlier post, Morrison Varsity boys won the Far East tournament for the third straight year. It was a great year!! Not only did the team win the championship but also finished 35-0. Above is the team photo.

Back from South Korea

Keith returned safely back from South Korea. The varsity boys basketball team won the Far East tournament for the third straight year!! Keith had a great time but is glad to be back at home!!

Keith Headed to South Korea

Keith is headed to Daegu, South Korea to help out with the varsity boys basketball team. They have their ending tournament there. Morrison is favored to win it all but it will be tough with all the teams gunning for them. We will post an update after he gets back on next Saturday, Feb. 26.

High School Banquet

Morrison had it's annual HS banquet on Saturday night. It was a lot of fun. Milly had a great time. Keith and Page also went and enjoyed seeing all the students dressed up. Above are some pictures before and after the banquet. Doesn't Milly look beautiful!! (So does Page!!)

Back to School!!!

We have had a nice break but it comes to an end. The kids and Keith all report back to school on Monday. Page also will begin her weekly routine this week. Pictured above is Milly along with several of her girl classmates.

New Year's Company

Caitlin and Gabrielle are sisters that live in the Morrison dorms. They did not go back to stay with their parents who live in China over this Chinese New Year so we have kept them. They are great girls and we are glad that we have gotten to know them better. They will report back to the dorms on Sunday afternoon.

Year of the Rabbit

Chinese New Year is today. This begins the Year of the Rabbit. We have all this week off of school and work, etc. It has been a fun week. On Monday we went to Nine Tribes -- an amusement/historical area in Taiwan that highlights the original nine tribes of Taiwan. The picture is of Keith, Page, Milly, and a friend's baby that they are keeping over Chinese New Year for an orphanage. In the background --see rabbits for the Year of the Rabbit. Happy New Year!!

Undefeated Season!!

Keith's JV basketball team just concluded their season this past weekend. The team had a great year and won all their games to finish a perfect 17-0. In addition to the unbeaten streak they also won two tournaments!! Now, Keith will help out the varsity finish out their season. By the way, the varsity is undefeated too.

Basketball Weekend!!

This past weekend was a basketball filled weekend. Here are the results of every one's basketball tournaments.

Wade's JVB team played in 4 games this past Saturday in Kaoshiung. Wade played well and scored in each game. He scored double figures (10 points) in one of the games. The team was in a tough pool and went 1-3 on the day. Wade's season is over and ms soccer will begin next.

Milly's JV team played in Taipei this weekend. Milly played tough defense. The team made it all the way to the finals but lost by 2 on a last second shot. See Milly's team above with another picture of Milly in action. Milly's season is over too.

Keith's JV team played and won the island wide JV tourney. Their team is now 12-0 and plays in another tournament next weekend to conclude the season.

It's COLD!!

This week has brought very cold temperatures to Taiwan. Normally, we do not have too many cold days here in Taichung but this week has been really cold. The temperature right now is 10 degrees Celsius (around 50 degrees Fahrenheit) but it feels much colder with the wind, the humidity, and the fact that we have no heat. We are hoping that this cold spell leaves soon!!

Wade's Day

Today, Jan. 9, is Wade's 14th birthday. He had a good day. We went to Chili's for lunch and the tradition here at the Taiwan's Chili's is to stand on a chair and the waiters and waitresses sing "Happy Birthday" to you as you hold a cheese cake.

This weekend, Wade's basketball team competed in a tourney in Taipei. They played well and finished tied for 3rd place with a 2-1 record. Wade played hard even though he was not feeling his best.

Happy Birthday Wade!!

Happy New Year!!

We brought in 2011 (the 100th year of the Republic of China) by eating at a nice Indian restaurant, playing board games at a friends, and finally watching fireworks explode out of Taipei 101!!
