One more week...

I was hoping to have some Vacation Bible School pics and video to post, but the video was too long, and I wasn't able to take any pictures because I was working the whole time! We stayed very busy with VBS last week. But it was a wonderful week. I had a great time leading my group, and I was very happy with how well Will did. He was so excited to learn about Joseph and ancient Egypt. He participated in the games and crafts, but his favorite thing was singing. He actually participated in the hand motions and sang his little heart out. It made me so happy to see him interacting so well during the week, and several times I got teary thinking about how much he has grown up. He will be going to preschool in the fall, and I think he is going to love it! I just don't know how well I will do without my little boy around those two days a week, but it will be nice to spend some much-needed alone time with my little girl. Brighton stayed in the church nursery with "Mae Mae" (she's the lady that watches the babies during church). She got to get out though and walk around, and she could not be kept away from the singing and dancing. She dances constantly. One lady commented to me that Brighton had "music in her soul." It's so fun to watch her dance when any music comes on. She is drawn to music. She'll dance to anything, but I think her favorite music is zydeco, which is appropriate since she's a little Louisiana gal. She's so tan right now she could be mistaken for a Creole. We went to the beach again for Father's Day and had a nice time playing and relaxing. Brighton and Will play so well together, and it makes me so happy to sit and watch them laughing and rolling around. I can't wait for their grandparents to see them. This week, we are making lists, cleaning, and packing for what will be a very long trip to Virginia. I'm so excited to go, but I'm a little daunted by the task of so much packing. So I must stop blogging and get to work!!!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

Taking a break with Daddy! Both kids played very well on their own in the water that day, which made for a relaxing Father's Day.

Brighton happily wears a life vest now, which cuts down on her getting so much water in her mouth. This should make things easier at the lake and the beach this year.

The water is very shallow, so it's a great place for the kids to swim. It's also surprisingly clear and ridiculously warm! I miss the nice cool waters of SML!

Will loves to float on his back in the water now. He says that he's "taking a nap in the water."



We watched our friends' little boy, Mason, one night. Brighton refused to share anything with him including all of the salad dressings.

We're heading to VA in a week?!?!
