"did you hear all those people clapping for me?"

last spring i shared some pictures of lucia all dressed up for pictures and her dress rehearsal for dance last year. . but you have not seen pictures of the real thing - the recital! she was so brave and loved every minute of being on stage! afterwards she was radiating JOY and just kept asking if we were proud of her? she thought everyone was clapping just for her. . so sweet! we love you lucia and are so proud of you and all your hard work to learn your dance!  i left my camera at Lake Chelan at the beginning of the summer so there will be some catch-up posts coming that are out of order.

camp spalding

we had an amazing opportunity to spend the week at Camp Spalding.  aaron was the camp speaker for the High School camp and our family got to tag along and live at Camp Spalding for the week.  it was incredible to watch God transform lives and to watch my husband use his gifts so well.  our kids never wanted to leave! here are a few pics from the week.  it was also perfect timing because the boys get to go back as real 4rth grade campers for their first overnight camp without family.  it was great for all us to get comfortable with them going away.
