What a busy week!

Anna had fun playing ball with Sugar Pops.
This is the outfit Anna decided to wear for our 90 degree weather.

Whew! School was out on Monday and I just hit the ground running. I know that I promised I would be better about posting, but it just didn't work out very well this week. SORRY!!!

One of the reasons I have been so busy is that I have accepted a part-time position at church for the summer. Our Children's pastor is moving to Nashville, which left us without any one at the North Campus. When they called to ask if I would consider taking this position, I quickly said NO! I knew that my main goal this summer was to stay home and be a mom. After the fourth phone call, I decided God was trying to say something to me! I went and talked to the board and decided that this was something I could help out with this summer. Luckily I am sharing the job with two other people, so this gives me the opportunity to still spend lots of time with Anna. Many of the things I need to do, can be done from home. Once the new pastor arrives, he will begin the process of selecting a new children's pastor.

This weekend we took Anna to the Rail Festival in Kankakee. They had an old coach car that we could walk through as well as a caboose. Anna is really into Thomas the train right now, so she seemed to really enjoy sitting on a real train.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate a little more this week so we can get out to the pool. I was able to get a membership to the local water park through school. I am looking forward to getting Anna out swimming. :)
