I got a digital camera! Like my friend Emily, I feel a little frustration at not being able to have a picture of me WITH my new camera, but oh well. :)
Here are a few pictures of life from the last week, taken of course with the afore mentioned camera.

Here's my cute little house. I'm hoping to paint one of the walls a dark brown before summer is over, but the days are flying by.

Kate, Maren and I outside Kate's house. Maren was gone in California for a week, and I was gone in St. Louis before that,

so I feel like I haven't talked to her in a coon's age. Gonna need to remedy that.

Jennifer Freeman and myself after lunch at her house on Sunday afternoon. Isn't that picture just awfully cute? I look forward to a lake date with her on Friday.

Timer pic with the new camera, during a super fun and impromptu game night. I got to hang out with some girls I don't often get to spend time with, which I loved! We had a fantastic meal outide, played Nerts and Mad Gab, and I ended up talking with two of them until 1:30 in the morning! Quite a fabulous night.

Abby and myself teaching the VBS kids our theme song, "God's Kids!" It's a spy kids type theme this year, and is quite tiring when all is said and done. Today we had 15 three and four

year olds. Phew!

Some of the crazy little guys we're hanging out with this week. This class won the competition for having the most friends invited today. They got to wear and keep those snazzy, bright hats and disguises.
