favorite part of Vacation Bible School = face painting time

Marquez plays VBS in the morning before the real VBS. Here he is reading the kids Bible stories. So sweet. Did I mention he would like to be a youth pastor when he grows up?

Makaylee's been really into playing "beauty shop" lately and Nyah was her victom, I mean, client :)

Ben even cooperates with the game. He asks for a barrette mohawk.

Nyah refuses to eat at her high chair and insists on eating "big girl" she calls it. She loves eating off everyone's plates and especially feeding anyone who is willing. Its all community food to her, just like in Ethiopia!

Mmmm, and playdough is delicious, too! She tries to feed it to Ella, our dog.
