VBS, Adoption and Stuff
So I was so excited to write about VBS, but Vince got more film of VBS than pics, and the pics weren't so good, so that stinks. VBS this year was SONWorld Amusement Park and the kids had a blast. Vince helped with Camp Wilderness and I was a singer/crazy lady. I don't know if I had more fun or if the kids did. We learned lots of Bible verses and had snacks, craft, recreation, and story time. It was awesome. Over 350 kids attended and we raised over $1200 for "Teach My Kenyan Children" and organization started by a lady in our church that helps children get an education. The money raised will buy wheelchairs and other walking aids, so that the disabled kids can get to school.
We just received word that we are recipients of a grant for $1500 through Topeka Community Foundation--Woo-Hoo! This is great news, because we are getting ready to send our dossier over to Ethiopia by the end of June, and with that goes a check of $4800! With a previous grant and this one, we will only have to come up with $2600. God is so good! I am praising Him right now! A lady that our agency is working with is over there (ET) right now, and is trying to locate a son for us (3 or younger) so if you could pray, we would appreciate it!
The other day as we were driving in our accord (packed like sardines) Alex yelled at Lila "Oh sick Lila...stop it!! Mom, Lila just wiped a booger on me!" I asked Lila firmly, "Did you wipe a booger on Alex?" She replied "Well...mom, it didn't smell like a booger..." I busted up laughing, then everyone did and then when we arrived at our destination, Lila Bean got disciplined---but it was so funny. She keeps us on our toes! Alex's first game is tonight; hope it doesn't get rained out. Vince's birthday was yesterday on the 8th--28 years old! He had a lot of fun shopping in the toy store: Home Depot and finally got a leaf blower and a jigsaw something or other. He was excited! Here are some random pics.
