Last week, Detroit had VBS. We had about 70 kids attend this year... what a blessing! I helped out in the "nursery" this year (aka the foyer fenced off with tons of toys thrown in) along with many other mothers that had infant children... and we just pretty much watched our own kids. Liam of course had a blast with all his friends, and was confused come Sunday when we went to church but there was no toys!
The theme verse this year was John 15:1-2. To tie in with the "bearing much fruit", the children learned about the fruit of the Spirit. On Friday, instead of doing a craft, they packaged health kits and went to a soup kitchen. They also received a talk from my FIL who happens to be the head of World Relief... so guess who got to come and visit their grandchildren for a few days?!
Not only was Liam loving this, but the day before, Natalie and Coty came up for a little visit too, since they didn't get to go to Phoenix with the rest of their family. Liam and Coty absolutely loved running around together, and they got along without ever arguing (except over the need to share a book/toy or two). It was so fun watching the two interact, because their personalities are so similar!
(Unfortunately most of this weekend, I didn't have my camera nearby...)
I think the highlight of their trip was when Grandpa took Liam down to Canton to the airshow. All this week, Liam has not been able to stop talking about the "blue angels". :)
Grandma was lamenting to me in an email how she wished she had a video of him talking about the blue angels. This definitely hasn't been one of his most enthused renditions, but it will suffice...
