They're Home

Ken, Kedrick and Kalyn arrived home around 6:30 this evening.  Praise the Lord. They are all very tired but glad to be home.  Both Ken and Kedrick have colds so they don't get to sit near me, bummer. 
Kedrick was pleased with how he did at the tournament.  He and his partner, McKenna Stevens, received 4th place in their Duo, Lewis Carrroll's "Through the looking glass".
He came in fifth in  his Expository on "Small Things" and sixth for his humorous piece.  The highlight of the event was receiving fourteen place for sweepstakes, an award given for overall performance. The caliber of the 500+ speakers at this National Tournament of Champions was very impressive. To even be there was an honor. 
Both Ken and I are very proud of Kedrick.  He really challenged himself this season and was very responsible and disciplined.    He pushed himself to exceed and we feel blessed that the Lord rewarded his efforts.
Kalyn was also very busy at the tournament.  She timed 8 rounds of speeches and was a constant encouragement to many speakers from all over the United States.
