Last week was Vacation Bible School (VBS) at my church. Sarah enrolled in it for the 2nd time (I was corrected by Janet). With each new thing that Sarah and Catherine do, we feel a little bit older. I guess that's the way of life. Btw, Catherine has been crawling since Independence Day, that's her way of celebrating Freedom.

With VBS, our whole family got a new schedule. Every morning, Janet, Sarah and Catherine tried (very hard) to be at church by 8:40. By the end of the week, they finally did it. Part of the problem with them not able to get make it on time is because of me. I really need to start to get to bed earlier and get up earlier. Something you can all pray for me about.

On the last day, they had the Carnival where they set up little games in the basketball court for all the kids. Sarah was some what tentative at first but soon narrowed down to 2 that she liked the most:
Fishing,
and tossing ping pong balls into floating bowls
At the end, she used all of her tickets! I was amazed as last year she didn't want to do any of the games. I guess 1 year is a long time. =) Other than games, they also had

Face (or arm as Sarah preferred) painting
And balloon animals (which Catherine loved to play with and bite on)
I like this photo of Sarah, she looks like she is really enjoying herself.

After the Carnival, it was time for the Evening Program where the kids sang.
and watched others sang (Sarah with her Sunday School Teacher).
During the rehearsal, I was told that Sarah was pretty shy and didn't do any of the hand motions. But that night, she let it all out and everyone was commenting how cute she was. She had so much fun.

Thank you Gigi. Sarah certainly enjoy you and Ada coming by to play with her. So come back soon! They grow up so fast.

Annie, Thank you for loving the pictures. Sarah is a very serious kid and emotionally mature beyond her age.

Sarah is starting to look like a kindergartener now. Confidence is starting to sparkle in her eyes! Thanks for posting the VBS pics, even though we also went to a very good VBS here, it's always nice to see what's going on at home.

Celebrate freedom, Catherine! You go baby girl!!!! (Doi-Yee said so. ha ha)

Hi Hannah,

I am glad you enjoyed it. I think Noah and Jonah would have had so much fun with Sarah too. Sarah will be starting her 2nd VBS at PCP this Wednesday. She should have fun as she will get to hangout with her old preschool pals. =)
