Hmm,what’s been happening lately?
A lot. I went to the AWANA leadership conference last Saturday, and that was really fun. Did I mention I lead Cubbies? They're the four and five year-olds. But at the conference I decided workshops are depressing though, since there are so many options and you can’t listen to all the speakers! But the four I did get to attend were great, and it was also great hanging with my friends who went there, as well as meeting new people. I went straight from that conference with workshops to another one at my friend’s church, Emmanuel, and that was really neat. Again, workshops are depressing because you can’t have them all. . .

Sunday my family had the Miksovskys over for dinner, and that was . . . hectic. You try cramming 20 people into a rather small house. Tuesday was biblequiz practice, which is always fun, but it makes me feel like a slacker. Wednesday some of my gals from church and I got together at Starbucks and then caught a concert at Squalicum, my friend Hodel being the main attraction.

And I just got back from babysitting, which was great. Don't you love being paid to watch kids? What a treat.

So yeah, I’ve been kinda busy. Oh, could you pray for me? I need help focusing. (And this is supposed to be news?) It’s not a huge thing; I’m just trying to balance school, piano, book group, quizzing and AWANA and whatever else. It’s not like I don’t have the time—I just need the focus. I’m convinced that I’m ADD, it just comes across as random flitterdegibbitness. (I really like that word!)

Oh yeah, one more thing. Peter is grinning now! He’s so cute. He’s also very, very big. I just love him! Of course, we haven’t caught him smiling on film yet, but I guess I’ll leave y’all with a picture anyway. . .
