Regional Grand Prix Results

I have had an email asking about the results of the Grand Prix last Saturday. Unfortunately, my family came home rather disappointed. They didn't place at all. Mark was a little bit encouraged because he did manage to come in ahead of the car that took first place at our church races. He finished 7th and she came in 12th. Other than that, things didn't go too well. We learn a little more each year and I figure by the time Joshua is through T & T, we'll probably be able to bring home something.
By the way, we all seem to be on the mend around here. Joshua was able to go back to school on Tuesday but was rather worn out by the time he got home. They are all still doing a lot of coughing but since that could last 4-6 weeks, I'm not keeping them home for that. Rachel did get herself into quite a coughing fit last night at AWANA while running in the games. We pulled on our coats and stood outside for a little bit. The cool air seemed to calm it down but everytime we went back in, she started up again.
We are in the middle of a fasinating MI storm here. Not often we have thunder and lightening with snow, sleet, & freezing rain. It is now almost all rain at least till tonight. Overnight we are to get some more accumulating snow. That should make this slush real fun to deal with.
This weekend we are camping at church Friday night. It is the T & T campout. At first, Mark was going to take Stephen & Rachel while I stayed home with Joshua since he isn't old enough for T & T yet. Then last night they were saying that they are short handed, especially on female leaders so I guess Joshua & I are going too.
