We Survived
Well, the week is over and Emma had a great time at her Summer Faith Camp. She’s exhausted - well, really, we’re all exhausted - but I’m glad she got to do it and had such a good time. They had a little show for the parents today to demonstrate all that they learned, and Gregory and I enjoyed watching it. I wish I had brought my camera, but oh well. Emma got to say Tuesday’s Bible verse into the microphone and she did a good job. It was probably best that I didn’t have the camera for the song part though, as my daughter seems to have inherited my complete lack of coordination and Matt’s lack of rhythm. Doing hand motions to songs is never going to be something she will be good at! Thankfully I think this is a skill that is only useful in childhood and for camp councillors and the like, and should not greatly impair her ability to function well as an adult. :-) I’m sure that in a few years, she’ll be quite glad I didn’t have a video camera on me to document this!
Gregory, Nathan and I did errands, and/or went to the property every day while Emma was in camp (except for today, because we were pooped and I was out of errands) which is a lot of running around and such for us. We also went to two different parks this week, and Gregory enjoyed the experience… although he did seem a little lost at times without his sister. I also ran into someone at the park that I’ve been seeing at church every week but haven’t had a chance to say anything to, and we ended up chatting for over an hour. We exchanged phone numbers, so hopefully we’ll get together again soon.
Next week is another busy week, as we are going to my Mom’s on Wednesday through Sunday. We’re going to see my Grandmother, visit with Emma and Gregory’s Godmother and her kids, and of course spend time with my Mom too. Well, Gregory’s noticed where I escaped to, so I better go contend with my very tired, fussy and cranky toddler. (joys…)
