William loves to get his picture taken. :)


As I said in the previous post, today (March 15) is a Hungarian holiday. It was a really nice relaxing day. Since Justin had a lot of papers to grade, William and I went on a walk. The day was really nice, but chilly because of the wind. (William's nose is a bit pink.) So, I took some pics of our walk in Diosd and our day.

March 15th Hungarian Holiday

Monday, March 15 is the nation of Hungary's holiday remembering the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. It's a big day with events in every city and town where they celebrate with speeches, poetry, and music. Also, no shops are open. Hungarians do not work on this day, unless it has something to do with the events.

ICSB is also closed on this day, so we get a day off too! Justin really looks forward to these days because he gets to spend more time with William during the week. Justin normally leaves for work right as William is waking up then returns just a fews hours before William's bed time. So a whole day to spend together as a family is great.

If you think of us, please remember to pray for the people of Hungary to become a nation that seeks to be led by God!

From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determine the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. Acts 17:26-27

ICSB Basketball Tournament

February 18-20 was the International Christian School of Budapest's annual basketball tournament. It is THE biggest event of the year. Everyone looks forward to it: 1) because it's basketball 2) we get a day off of school 3) several schools compete.

We had four schools compete with us: International Academy of St. Petersburg (Russia), Kiev Christian Academy (Ukraine), American International School of Budapest, and Fehervar (Budapest). Thursday night started us off with wins for both our boys' and girls' teams!
The girls went on to win 3rd place and the BOYS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP! This was the first time in over 6 years that our boys won 1st place! Way to go bulldogs!

Here are the photos and video that Michelle took of the games she was able to go to with William. Justin, as in years past, helped out by being the medic. Fortunately, there were no big injuries during these games, however, our girls' team lost two key players right at the start of the tournament! :(
