Camp Jr.

Our church offers a VBS each summer for pre-schoolers and I got the opportunity to head it up this year! This event has been a big part of my summer, and it was a lot of fun. Fun to serve and give back, fun to have something creative to focus upon, and fun to put on a week for the kiddos! Glad it is over -- now, onto SUMMER!





Theme was "Where God is WILD about you!"

Bye Bye First Grade

Eliza during Henry's "Festival Day" at school. "What? Am I not supposed to play in here??"


Nah - They don't look anything alike, eh?


Henry had a great 1st grade year. He concluded his year with Festival Day where he was awarded one of the top awards for the whole school which recognized him for being a good citizen, encourager of classmates, hard worker and embodying the motto of the Williams School which is "Honor above Honors." Congrats Hen!

Snaggle-toothed grin

He's losing them like crazy these days!

Happy Birthday!

It has been birthday season around here again. John surprised me with a birthday trip to NYC! We had such a great time touring around, eating at the finest restaurants I have ever experienced and seeing a Broadway play!


And, Happy Birthday to our favorite 5 year old!

Happy Easter!!!!

Sewing Season!

Rarely do I get to blog about what I have been doing!! My love of sewing has been rekindled this Spring and I have been driving John crazy with my new introverted hobby. I can always blame him because he bought the sewing machine for me, right?! I LOVE having 2 girls to outfit -- one with a will and one who doesn't have one yet. We'll see how long they will let me play matchy-matchy dress up day. Here's a sampling of what my hands have been doing. Thanks Aunt Carrie for the pattern!!
