I was recently asked to head the program for young women (teenagers) in our church. I've been both very intimidated and totally thrilled. It's a big responsibility and time commitment, but I am totally loving it, and Sam is very supportive, which is crucial. So neat to be able to have a part in the growth of the girls' faith in Jesus Christ and determination to follow Him. Of course, it's a big growing experience for me too. And humbling!
This last week was a week-long outdoor camp for the girls. I could only go a day (because of nursing), but it was a neat experience. I thought this snake was a strip of tire while I walked alongside it a few feet away. I've always liked snakes (my mom's a great snake catcher), but here I don't know a poisonous one from a non-poisonous one, so they are all a little more scary to me.
And thus we see why I wash all the big utensils right before they are used. This is Tyn's favorite playground.
Tyn (10 1/2 months) has taken a few steps here and there, but still has a ways to go before really walking, I think. But he is a little mountain goat climber, and we have found him in some precarious situations, which is scary!
Ked has decided that sometimes he likes the hardwood floor more than his bed.
