We are nearing the end of our first school year in Dubai. Our school year exceeded our expectations in many ways but in particular in the area of sports. Although they have played volleyball before, this is their first year to compete in many sports like Soccer, Basketball and Track.
A couple of weeks ago, our girls took home some awards at the Annual Sports Banquet. Betsy won the "Most Improved Player" award on her Basketball team, Katelyn took home the "Most Improved Player" award in Track, and Hannah took home the Most Valuable Player award in volleyball AND the overall "Outstanding Athlete of the Year" award.
Needless to day, we were very proud of each of our girls for not only their hard work and dedication but especially for being good team players and exhibiting a Christ-like attitude to their teammates and opponents.
And the winner is....God gets more glory! We praise Him for helping our daughters not only survive their first year but to thrive!

Congrats girls! We are so glad we got to meet you before you became famous highschool athletes in Dubai...remember the little people!
Seriously congratulations...it's SO great to hear how well you're doing in your new 'hometown.'
Congratulations to the Burns girls. What a way to be an example for the body of Christ. And congratulations to mom and dad for doing a good job setting the example.
