Noah is a Spark this year (which is K-2nd graders) and Josh had his very first night in AWANA as a Cubby. Josh has been super excited to get to go to Cubbies - just like Noah. Earlier today he told me as we were talking about going tonight and what he may have to do during the time, Josh told me he was going to get to play with the big boys. He's just so excited to get to do things that Noah has gotten to.
Mike & I are helping in Sparks this year, together. It's awesome because I got to see Noah and Josh both during opening ceremonies and just see the excitement on their faces as the songs got sung. Josh looked so intense during the pledges and while the colors were presented. Then during game time we played outside since it was the first night on the big playground. Again, I got to catch some glimpses of Noah playing and interacting with new friends and I'm sure some old friends from last year. The church has this "big" slide, it really is big and fast. It starts on the second floor and goes down to the playground just past the first floor (there's kind of dip for the playground if that makes sense). Well you ride on towels down the slide and it's really fast. I heard Noah going down and then saw him come back by the stairs to go try again. He was so excited about it! I'm looking forward to another great year with AWANA and the boys both wanted to take their Bibles to bed tonight and read and wanted to know if we could work on their verses in the morning during breakfast. I love that they are both so excited about learning God's word and know that I need to learn it too, my memorization skills are lacking and I am really looking forward to learning all the verses with them this year.
