Thanks Susi!

The UPS man just arrived with a package from Aunt Susi (and REI)! Inside we found all kinds of treats to help enjoy the summer! Beckett and Helen each got a new t-shirt (modeled for you in the picture) along with new "BPA free" CamelBac drinking bottles (Susi won't allow her neice and nephew to drink out of supposedly BPA contaminated CamelBacs!) :) AND a Play and Freeze Mega Ball Ice Cream Freezer! We are set! They also have little summer journals from REI to give them fun ideas about things to do to enjoy their summer! We love you Susi! Thanks for all of the fun gifts from your store!

"Mom, what is a solo?"

Beckett has been attending Worship Camp every morning at a church here in LC this week. He is having a lot of fun! He has been learning many things about music, including different instruments, music notes and their rythmic value as well as some praise and worship songs that they will sing at the worship service Sunday night! Oh, and they have great snacks! :) Anyway, when I picked him up yesterday, he got in the car and asked me to tell him what a solo is. I explained it and he said that they were having try-outs for solos on Wednesday, but he didn't want to do something like that. He talked about it a few more times during the afternoon and last evening, but each time he said, "I don't want a solo." Fast forward to Wednesday when I pick him up at camp. The director comes up to me and asks if we are planning to be at the service on Sunday night. When I told her that we were, she said, "Good. Beckett has a solo!" He had decided to try out and he got one! He was so excited! We are proud that he is using his gift and enjoyment of music to praise God during the worship service Sunday night!
