"Boomerang Express"

That was the theme of Vacation Bible School last week.

It was so much fun! I haven't participated/worked in Vacation Bible School in 20+ years. I had forgotten just how much fun it is. I worked with a great group for first graders the entire week, and I absolutely loved them.

Needless to say, this was Allison's very first time at Vacation Bible School, and she love it too. She had some great teachers, and I can tell she really learned a lot last week.

"You Count - I'll Hide"

That is all Allison says when she is ready to play Hide 'n Seek...which is usually a couple of times a day. Well, she found a new hiding place today. These ice buckets were sitting in the living room, and they became a great place to hide and play this afternoon:

Just a Little Something

Here's a sneak peek at a little something I've been working on...I made this for our little friend Annabelle. She will turn three years old tomorrow:

Planting a "Garden"

We decided to plant a garden....of two tomato plants. We picked out the plants over the weekend, and Allison could not wait to "help" do some planting:

It's Friday - but Sunday's Coming

I saw this video on Kelly's Korner. I thought it was one of the most moving Good Friday tributes that I have seen in a while. I hope you will take the time to watch it today:
