baby wyatt is born!

We welcome to the McNamee / Cornelius family our new grandson, Wyatt James Cornelius. He was born to Katherine and Jeremy on June 18th in Nashville, TN and he is adorable! Barbara was able to arrive on June 20th to help with the transition of mom and baby to life at home.

Wyatt (along with Katherine and Jeremy) had lots of visitors during the following month, including great grandmother GG, great Aunt Mary! Wyatt has recently met his Aunt Mary, as well as Aunt Virginia, Uncle Daniel and cousin Riley.

Our family continues to grow and we feel truly blessed. Thanks to all who prayed during Katherine's pregnancy. All is well.

yl basketball camps

Children from 7 to 18 years of age, Spanish as well as International, had a blast at our 2009 YoungLife basketball camp. The American coaches, Steve and Landon Shipley, Jeremy Johnson, Janet and Mark Cochrum, and Mary and Jim McNamee, spoke English all week. Learning and/or improving their English is the reason many kids come to our camp! Our translators Tomás, Mary, Mitchell, Lauren and Sarah were amazing, as were Kate and Anna who held down the registration and kitchen for the team.

Thanks go to all the volunteers, who helped make this event possible!

An exciting note: we had more teenagers at camp this year. This is very encouraging, especially as we begin national (Spanish speaking) ministry in the coming months. The camps have helped us meet Spanish teens and their families in the Madrid area
