So, it's very funny that 2 of my closest friends ended up being Luke's teachers at VBS this past week. Good that I got to hear all the silly stories of how he kept them entertained.....like his comment that "Scripture is found on the roof or in a mouse hole." This is a VERY short clip.....3 seconds, however, is enough to get a sense of the chaos endured by the 150 or so volunteers it took to put this thing on.
For those friends in Oxford who saw Luke the last month of his life there, you will recognize this Spiderman costume which he wore virtually every day. (Our postman even commented one day on how many days in a row Luke wore it!) There is no way in the world Luke would have EVER let ANYONE touch this costume. And now, we have a new friend.....who is older and wiser. There is a little bit of worshipping going on here.....which is fine with us. It is so nice to watch our boys modelling and following around an older boy like this.
July 22 is a celebrated day around here. We went out to eat (to Cafe Dupont) on Friday night for our 8th anniversary.....in fact, we had the whole weekend to celebrate. We saw THE DARK KNIGHT on Saturday night, which was really good but a few too many explosion scenes away from being great. JoAnna & Bert took their favorite nephews for both Friday and Saturday nights. We had a glorious time waking up to a QUIET house and reading until 9 AM......it was AMAZING!! And, to top it all off, we were excited to get our children back on Sunday morning.
July 22 is also Nanny's birthday. We were happy to get to celebrate #92 with her today!
We went up to Lake Pickwick with some friends this past weekend and had a great time. Here are 6 of the 9 kids in our motley crew. I realized it was really quiet the first morning we were there and headed off to my boys' room to find them all on the top bunk.
Sun screen on, life jackets on, and ready to go....
Like father, like son.....
Caleb was the deck hand all weekend. He wasn't too fond of the water, but he had a great time sweeping the deck and trying on everyone's sun glasses.
Luke LOVED the water. He and Chris even rode on the inner tube behind the boat (and Chris fell off, but Luke held on!). :)
