Random Pictures from Day 1 of VBS

      I work in the nursery this week, but I still make an effort to sneak out and take pictures.  The four kids in nursery this year were all wee little last year.  (Jordyn was only 2 months old!)  Makes for a much easier job this year!

Sports in Action ~ I ♥ Faces

My kiddos are too young to be involved in sports. In addition, I have a sneaky feeling that my oldest will never really be into the sports thing.

My plan became to take pictures at VBS because there usually is a game of kick ball or something going on. None of that ended up being on the agenda, so the only picture I have is of a racing game. The kids had to quickly put on boots, a hat and a scarf (polar theme this year) and race to a marker and back, and then the next kid did the same thing until they got to the end of the line.

Hopefully that explanation will help make more sense of this picture! :)

Lori and Jodi were my best church friends from 4th through 8th grade.  (We left the church in my ninth grade year.) We went to camp together, hung out at each others’ houses and spent countless hours at church waiting for our parents to get out of choir practice. 

 

 

We spent so much time at church that we got bored enough to name the wallpaper characters in the bathroom after ourselves and our friends.

Lori has lived all over the US due to her husband’s military career, but she now lives in Ohio about a half hour away from me.  You would think we’d get together all the time, but somehow time slips by.  The last time I saw Lori, Jordyn looked like this:

 

 

     

I haven’t seen Jodi since Nathan was a baby. When we heard she was going to be in town, we made sure to get together.

(Me, Jodi, and  Lori) And, of course, you know I wouldn’t skip taking pictures! Jodi’s daughter, Ella  My son, Nathan, unable to resist getting water all over himself Lori and her daughter, Courtney  Lori, and my daughter, Jordyn  My son, Ben     

I think it’s so cool that years can go by, yet it’s still so easy to talk and have fun together.  (Hopefully, we won’t let years go by again, though!)  ☺
