I hope you all had a refreshing weekend. We had a great weekend with friends and the children. I have been trying to get better about taking pictures, so that I can share them with you all and this week, I actually remembered to take a few! So, enjoy a short update with some new pictures :)!
Natalie and I started our summer program at the Linc! We are so excited to be able to offer a summer program on Tuesdays and Thursdays for six children that desperately need the services. We wish we could serve all 20 of them this summer, but in order to plan for next year, we had to be reasonable with what we could handle in these short 8 (now 7) weeks.
During the summer months, we will spend the first half of the day doing recreational activities (like swimming, going to movies, etc.) and the second half of the day doing art, groups, and individual tutoring time. We are also working on one character trait/moral each week. This week we are working on not complaining and our bible verse is Phil. 2:14. I am really enjoying these weekly lessons because not only do they challenge the children, they also challenge me!
On Saturday, Geoff and Melinda hosted a baby celebration dinner for our dear friends Cani and Justin. They are expecting their first baby in a matter of weeks. We had a lot of fun celebrating with them! We can't wait to meet their precious baby boy! P.S. The sweet baby boy they are holding is our good friend April's baby Silas. Isn't he handsome?
Nathan spent most of the night holding baby Arden. He is so good with children :). She sat in his lap like a big girl as we all chatted. It is hard to believe that she is already 7 months. She is going to be walking before we know it.
On Sunday, we planned to go swimming, but due to the rain, we decided to take the boys to play basketball. They had a blast!
