Happy mail day!

Dinner


Yahaira has been taking 1st communion classes for the past 4 weeks. Part of the class includes a meal shared by the families participating. Wednesday was our turn to provide the meal.  She planned for weeks what we would bring.  She came home from school wondering if it was time to go to class her excitement was impossible to contain.  What a great idea to include a meal as part of these classes. Her class is small only 5 students and each week she would come home from school sharing with me what the person that week was bringing.  That they were talking and sharing outside of the actual class was a great thing to experience.  After all a part of communion is belonging to a family in faith and communion is a meal what a great way to teach these young people about an important part of their church life.

Her latest project

In the world of rainbow looms there isn't much this child can't create. She saw an example in a book and soon her glasses were transformed.  She amazes me.

morning, noon, and night


 
I saw this idea on another blog awhile back and loved the idea of capturing a photo at different times during our day.  Of course the trick is to remember to take those photos. Finally today I managed to remember all 3 photos.

Sleeping


Under the careful watch of the cat
these two have a love/hate relationship

to fing the two of them like this one evening was a rather
beautiful moment...guess she kinda grew on the cat. She does have that way about her.

She's had enough


Basketball for the day
5 1/2 hours of basketball is a bit much for even the die hard fan
so when there was a pause in the current game, she laid down and
said I'm done.  I briefly thought about joining her I was done too.

Happy Birthday Rose


We've know her for almost 10 years.  She has spent many weekends with us
and joined us on many adventures big and small.  Saturday she joined us for the day
filled with kid activities, choosing to spend her birthday with our crew.  She is
an amazing person inside and out.
