Summersational

Corban, Abigail and Hadassah went to Summersational for another week!
This weeks theme was "Feathered Friends" and 
all 3 children went Monday-Thursday (no camp Friday).
At the end of week presentations, 
Corban's class performed "Rockin' Robin", 
Abigail's class recited Matthew 6:26, 
and Hadassah was chosen as 
Camper of the Week from her class!
Hadassah's teachers said, "She is always playful, but when its time to participate in our activity she comes over right away.  Her favorite part of summer camp is to go on the playground with her friends.  Hadassah is very artistic, she is very polite, she remembers her manners.  We really enjoy having her in our class."

gathering flowers

Anytime she is outside (our yard, a walk, at the park), Hadassah will find and pick flowers.  She loves to bring me these little "weed" flowers from our yard and tell me to keep them or to share them with Daddy or that I am only to hold them by the stem and not the petals.  
This day, she brought me a handful and told me to keep them for when she gets married.  
I told her that they are beautiful, but we couldn't keep these flowers that long, 
and then promised to help her gather new ones on that special day!
 Hadassah now has freckles across her nose/face
 she still loves playing Little People
 she's learned how to sign "I love you" on her own
Hadassah is funny, has a big imagination and a big laugh, and a gentle heart!

rainbow loom

Our house is full of Rainbow Loom bands!  
Corban does most of the making, but Abigail likes to watch him and pick out the colors.  
He is patient and approaches the projects like a puzzle.  
He is generous and thoughtful in making them for everyone!
Corban has moved beyond the basic bracelets:
to more complicated bracelets
snakes:

rings (an "amethyst" one for Mommy):



earrings for the girls:
