Luau!!!

ALOHA!!!We had a very fun luau at our house this weekend- planned by the summer staff girls! We all had a great time, but most importantly, the girls had a BLAST!
The girls worked really hard and made grass skirts and tops for Kaleigh and Gloria... (It was great... It kept them busy for hours trying to tape the skirts together!)

This picture would be so cute... if Gloria was happy (she HATED the grass skirt!) and if Kaleigh was looking...
Thanks to the summer staff girls for a great evening!

Graduation and Summer!

Lupita... She was one of the 4 graduates from 6th grade!

Jaqui... God is really working in Jaqui's life. She has changed so much over the past few months... She used to ignore us completely, and hardly even say good morning to us. It's been neat to see her open up and it's so encouraging to see her desire to serve God. Please pray for her...

The 4 6th grade graduates... Armando, Jaqui, Lupita, and Magda... The girls were all really sad to leave their friends at elementary school, but at the same time they are excited to move on...

We have a playground in our backyard now! Kaleigh has a blast, and Yaneli loves to play with her because she is the only one allowed to use it!

The Indianapolis group came a few weeks ago. The girls made purses with Ashley (Emily's sister in the orange) and some of Ashely's friends...
Summer is in full swing here... The kids have summer school every morning from 10-1 and then they also read for an hour a day. The summer staff as well as a few others are teaching summer school. The girls will also start swimming lessons soon... And we are going to do some fun summer activities as well!
