The kids had their AWANA awards a couple weeks ago.
Elijah and Josephine have finished their second year of Cubbies, and will move up to Sparks when they start kindergarten in the fall.
The "Cubbies Song"
"He's Got the Whole World in His Hands"
Elijah's shoe fell off as they were walking back on stage, so that's what's going on with him. :)
This was Kaylen's first year of T&T. She found it to be a bit harder than Sparks had been last year. But she did an awesome job, and finished the first book in the year! She was so proud of herself that she got picked to say a verse at the awards program. Then that day she got really nervous, and was afraid she'd forget the verse.
When she was practicing it, she kept going too fast and we couldn't understand the words, so we had her practice it super slow! She did it perfectly at the program! The verses her group was saying basically went through the entire purpose of T&T (Truth & Training). Each kid in front of her said a short verse, and then Kaylen's long verse summarized the whole thing. We congratulated Kaylen on the way home, for saying it perfectly, and that her teachers probably chose her to say the long verse because they knew she'd be able to memorize it and say it well in front of an audience. Kaylen's teacher has told us all along how insightful her comments and questions during discussions! She sure keeps us on her toes! :)

Wow.It's been so long since I was a Guards leader and mine were cubbies. We still had the ugly gray shirts for everyone older than sparks. Do you go to the Awana olympics.
