August saw us at the soccer fields quite a bit. Here is Savannah taking a throw in. She had two great coaches who encouraged and cheered the kids on each night!

VBS Day 1 and Alex helped us out by colouring the banner we were going to hang up at church. It was a great help and one less thing Kim or I had to do.
Day 225 - August 13, 2013
What an exciting day for Savannah and Jared as they left on their long-awaited "Day Out with Miss M". Both Gerald and I bid on this day at the school auction and the kids were very excited to get to spend a day with their teacher outside of school :) They had a lot of fun visiting Legoland and a Reptile Zoo. Here's a picture of Savannah and Jared with Miss M as she dropped them off at Day 2 of VBS.

The kids love VBS at our church as they get to hang out with friends, play sports, hear and share the great news of the gospel.

We ended the VBS week with a short program, pizza supper, games, sports and face painting. Here's the first part of our pizza order ready to be eaten.
Day 229 - August 17, 2013
Saturday morning we were up bright and early to the boys' end of the season soccer tournament. This is one of the few pictures I took of Alex before he twisted/rolled his ankle and was out for the rest of the tournament :( The team played well with 2 wins and 1 loss, nearly taking the top team out.
Day 230 - August 18, 2013
It was wonderful to have a day of rest and to be in church in Chatham with family. We had a great message addressing some of the questions that have been popping up in our conversations as of late.
Day 231 - August 19, 2013
Today Mia came over to visit and here's a picture of Alex and Mia working on melting their perler bead creations together.
Soooooo . . . I just learned that Kevin and Carsten have an incredibly lot in common . . and if I did my math right (I googled day 223 of the calendar year and it said Aug 11), they are born a mere two days apart. (Kev is Aug 9). Hopefully they will get a chance to connect in Grade 9:) That would be pretty fun!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Yes Carsten is August 11, 2001 which means that could be in PRC together...I'm leaning more and more towards that school :)They really do seem to have so much in common.
