Wanted: a Novice Pair Skating Partner for Rebekah

The children's pair skating coach, Dalilah Sappenfield, told me today that Rebekah is a "phenomenal pair skater" and is ready to compete in novice pairs for the 2009-2010 figure skating competition season. She thinks Rebekah's little sister, Annabelle, should skate pairs with her brother Joel, so after the 2008-09 figure skating qualifying competition season, things will change for our family as far as who skates with who for pairs.

Now, looking for a novice level pair skating partner for Rebekah is on our "to do" list.

Below are some videos from 2-18-09 - Rebekah's pair skating improves every day!

Here's one of Rebekah's best days of learning to "do pairs" - Enjoy!

Here is a video of Rebekah doing an overhead lift with Dalilah's son Larry Ibarra:

Below is a video of Rebekah doing a death spiral with Larry Ibarra. The video was taken about a year ago - Rebekah has improved and matured quite a bit since then.

The second video shows Rebekah doing a death spiral with 2008 US National Pair Skating Champion, Rockne Brubaker!

If you know of an intermediate or novice level male pair skater who would like to try out with Rebekah, email us.

It's Been Three Years Since September 16, 2005

September 16, 2005 was a usual day for most people, but for my family, our lives were forever changed. I remembered the date today and thought how different things are now. Dan is doing so well. To look at him today, it is hard to believe that we wondered if he'd live, if he'd walk, or if he'd be whole.

We truly have gone from "Tragedy to Triumph" and need to thank God for giving so much to us. Today, I want to say "Thank you" to all the people who have been there for us.

Annabelle's is searching for a juvenile pair skating partner

I just put together a new site especially about Annabelle. She is ready to find a pair skating partner.

It would be "really neat" if she could compete in Juvenile pairs in 2009-2010!
