"Mohawks" & More

This evening I watched Madison, Isaac, and Hannah for a little while. The kids were SO easy being the hammocks, or "mohawks" as Isaac called them, entertained them for a good chunk of time! Both Madison and Isaac thought it was so fun to "hide" in the hammock and then POP out! Pretty cute, too.
Who's hiding in there?

It's so nice to have three hammocks so that everyone can have their own, but sometimes it's fun to snuggle up together, too!
Hannah was getting pretty tired but seemed to love the fresh air and soothing movement of the swing. I can't get over how sweet she is.
Jenna Rhea joined us, too! Isaac said "no thank you" to this picture. :)

"A Night On The Town"

I had a wonderful "night on the town" with Amber, Brock, Madison, Isaac, and Hannah! We took a couple recreational vehicles and explored the back roads of Roseau. It was a bit chilly, but absolutely perfect! Madison and Isaac rode with me and Brock, Amber, and Hannah rode together. Getting ready to take off!We were trying to be kind of artistic in our picture taking...it sort of worked. :) (I do have to say that I took a pretty cool picture of the Lindberg fam, but it's on Amber's camera, so she'll have to post that one....not to brag or anything!)
The sweet, tough, little "Swedish" girl.
I like this one of the fam, too. It just got a little dark. Watch out for those bats!
Ahh, good 'ol Roseau.

Sweet girl.
Isaac was always ready for the camera with his big, beautiful smile!

Goodbyes

My last day of work was a week ago today, May 14th. These aren't all the girls I worked with, but most of them. They are all so sweet and blessed me so much! To my left is Tammy and to the right of me is Crystal. Back left is Deborah and back right is Amy (the owner of the shop). They made this sweet card for me, too! Amy accidentally had dropped a strawberry on the envelope while she was writing on it, and just ran with the idea. :) She's pretty funny. They will be missed!

Super Noah!

Every Monday since about October I have been doing pre-school lessons with little Noah Gustafson. (Their family used to live in Roseau and go to our church, but they moved to Bemidji about a year ago....I have been very blessed to get to see them each week!) Mostly Noah and I work on letters....learning each of the letters, the sounds they make, and how to write them. (Noah is 4 years old.) The hardest part is letter recognition. Noah is a pretty smart kid though and has done very well! Here are a couple pictures from my last day with Noah. We played a fishing game where Noah "fished" for letters and then had to tell me which letter it was.
This video, I think, is so funny! I had to really hold myself back from really bursting while recording it. :)
Noah always has a lot of funny comments, too! When I picked Noah up from daycare he told me that his leg hurt from running too fast. Later when we were working on letters I asked, "Do you remember this letter's name?" Noah replied, "No, my leg made me forget!" :) Oh yes, and this blog title is "Super Noah!" because that is many times what Noah refers to himself as....not just Noah, Super Noah!
