We Survived VBS 2009!

Yes- I'm the loser with 2 posts in 1 day, but I had 2 VERY different things on my mind, and just couldn't find a connecting thought, so here we go!

I survived VBS!

Actually, it was much more than that- I enjoyed almost every second of VBS! I loved my class (or family group) and I will miss them terribly! I had 10 wonderful kids- only 3 from our church. Our family ranged from 4 years to 5th grade, and we had a great chemistry! By the end of the week, we really felt like a family! I LOVE the marketplace Bible School. Thank you Rose for a phenomenal week of learning, loving and just plain FUN! Suddenly, the book of Romans holds more appeal than ever- and I feel like Paul is a friend! (Possibly because the guy playing Paul all week IS a friend- but you know what I mean!)

Anyway, as soon as I locate my camera (it's in one of the many bags that I lugged back and forth from the church this week) I will post some of the pics. Be warned- the market was unbelievable!

And finally, the most important part.... 20 kids came to know Christ!!!! WOW!!! Totally worth every early morning.

No Pics- Bad Mommy

OK- I know that I haven't posted any pics of my little man in a while. But I have an excuse.... sort of....

Jason has been in Texas for 3 weeks, now, and I only have 2 hands. And I need both of them to keep Monkey out of trouble (and the trash can, and the dog bowls, and the clean laundry, and the dirty laundry, and the books, and the tv/ entertainment center, you get the idea) and I have no free hands to take pics!

The main source of the trouble.... James can now WALK!!!!

I cannot believe it! He was taking a few tentative steps before the Hubby left- but now he is walking- and crawling even faster than before he learned to walk! (I really didn't know it was possible to crawl as fast as he does! Geez!)

In addition, Monkey is no longer a baby- at least by our church's standards! :) He has officially been promoted out of the baby nursery! (And I didn't cry- aren't you proud?)

Anyhooo- the Hubs is coming home tomorrow (Thank Heavens!) and I plan to take tons of First Dad's Day pics and birthday pics, so there is something to look forward to!

James ate quiche. Enough said.

James cut 2 more teeth this week. That makes 8- before his first birthday!

I have been home alone with James for 2 weeks. (Except for weekends when the grandmothers came to my aid.) I am ready for Jason to be home.

I had the wonderful idea to have a rubber ducky birthday party for my little monkey. I should have had a monkey party- the stores are FULL of monkey stuff! (Of course, if I had chosen monkeys, the stores would have been full of duckies.) ;)

I am going to bed- Good night all!
