A day of firsts

Last year Lillian had a great time at swimming lessons and Caleb was eager to join her this time around!  Since participants must be four or older, we signed both kids up for two weeks of lessons beginning today!  I love it that Lillian was looking out for her little brother at swimming lessons and that Caleb was so excited to be there with her!  The photo below was not staged - they both sought each other out and grabbed hands at the end of lessons!

Today was another "first" for Caleb as he attended his first night of VBS!  Dan led the music and was a group leader and made sure that Caleb and Lillian were well taken care of!

While Dan, Lillian, and Caleb were at VBS, Liam and I got to hang out with my friend Kate and her son Luke!  Luke and Liam are only about a month apart and it was fun to watch them play alongside each other!

Thank you, God, for friends who can pick up where they've left off... even when the busyness of life interferes with spending as much time together as they would both like!
