What a Week!

Last week was our VBS at Mariners---and boy was it busy! It was a great week where we had over 2,000 kids (the most we've ever had!) and I got to see those kids learning about God's love for them. It definitely made all the hours of work worth it! (Click on the blog title above to see pictures of the week. I was in charge of the worship center opening and closing programs--particularly the drama. You may or may not see me dressed up in a flower acting as "Chrysanthemum" in some of those pictures. The funniest thing was that when you act in the drama, throughout the week, kids continuously ask you for your "autograph". Needless to say, I shortened my name to "Chrissy" after the 3rd signature...) The week was so much fun--I love the people I work with and love being with the kids. Its amazing that I get paid to do what I do. But on the other hand, I have to admit, personally, it was a hard week. I had to be away from Caden a LOT since I worked 9 days in a row, most of those days 8+ hours. It was hard to be in one place and try to concentrate on work and deal with all the craziness, all while missing a little part of your heart that you left at home. But luckily, Caden's Grammie Kathy was able to watch him and they had such a great time. They played for hours on end and I'm pretty sure he has more fun with Grammie than with me! I'm so blessed to have my parents close by who willingly watch Caden whenever they can, and take the best care of him! It made my week SO much easier knowing he was in the best of hands. Here is a random collection of pictures from the week before VBS.

Spending some time reading

This one is my favorite: daddy and son, hanging in my aunt's hammock. :)

In his favorite outfit: Baby Hurley shirt and Baby Quiksilver shorts. He looks like a mini Jon.

That's all for now! My next post should be full of pictures of Caden and his auntie Kristi, his cousins, and Aunt Kristen! He gets to see them all next week!
