Sharks!!!!

Don't worry, I'm not going shark diving anytime soon, though Joshua talks almost daily of going shark diving when he turns 16. Yikes. And, I'm not trying to infringe on any one's book rights. These are two pictures that Joshua took with our small digital camera. He's been on a shark quest all summer, choosing books from the library each week and wanting to read every word of every book! I love the first picture because it looks like you are right there in front of the Great White! Of over 70 pics he's taken in the past couple of days, we narrowed them to about 50 and then these are the two he chose to post. Joshua likes the second picture because you can see the shark's teeth! Happy Swimming!

Water Play

The boys were being funny the other day while playing in the little pool. Micah insisted on wearing two sets of floaties - in a foot of water. And Joshua always looks so cute in his goggles. :) (Of course, I'm not biased in any way, ha ha!)

Recap of VBS

Once again, the week got away from me. To recap, the boys and I had a wonderful time at VBS. We all learned so much and met lots of new people. Here is Joshua in the Missions class. Each day, he and his class rotated through classes, worship rally, snack, craft, and missions. I'll talk more about the Missions room later, which is where I was helping out.

Life...one WEEK at a time!

I should change my title to life...a WEEK at a time, since I can't seem to get on here more often than once a week to post. :)

Hero Headquarters

We are two days into VBS at our church. It has been a wonderful experience. The boys are really enjoying their classes and activities. They are learning about unseen heros in the bible. Their memory verse is:

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.

1 Timothy 4:12

We're looking forward to the rest of the week! :)

First Cantaloupe of the Season!

Joshua and I cut into the first cantaloupe of the season from our garden today. I'm happy to report that it does taste good! We have another one that is much bigger but not quite ripe enough to eat, and three more currently growing in the garden. I hope that they will all be as tasty as this one!

New (to us) Bunk Beds!

Yeah! We finally found the right bunk bed set for the boys. They are super excited, though it has been an adjustment. :) We were up until almost midnight the first night that they slept in it.
