Ahoy Mateys!

Thanks everyone for the sweet comments of encouragement yesterday. I really wasn't tired all day - I think having Michele come was a big boost of fun adrenaline. I think I really need less sleep in the summer, must be something about the Vitamin D from the sun, and the opposite effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Norkenzie Christian Church, the place where my kids did pre-school and Mikayla did kindergarten, have done a phenomenal job with their VBS program. Today, all 5 kiddos attended - they've had the theme of "Son-World" and even gave out CD's with professional music recordings that went along with the program. I'm so impressed. Here are two pictures of Mikayla and Erica on the first day with their pirate crafts. The third picture is with a friend from her kindergarten class (all but one of the members of that class are in the same group with her at VBS). It was roller coaster day so they were taking pictures of them with a fan blowing....
