Fingerprints!

Wow...intimidating. All I was thinking was "what if something turns up?" It was funny...we're pretty "vanilla" in life...kinda boring by the world's standards. But, there's that nagging feeling while the official lady is slamming my fingers in ink, rolling them across the paper ("let ME do it...RELAX your hands please"), and examining the card 3 inches from her face..."what if?" Human nature I guess.

So we got a big chunk of our homestudy paperwork and criminal background stuff done the other day. God is great...we had a light day at work so Jana and I could drive around and check things off our list. The mountain of paperwork isn't as intimidating anymore. We still have one (or fifty) things to go though.

The girls have been in Vacation Bible School and loving it. Such a fun atmosphere and change of pace for them. I'm thankful for all the wonderful people who volunteer and pour themselves into making it a great experience. (Brownie points, Jana??)

LOL I remember those fingerprints. It is a weird feeling isn't it. My 16 year old son watched me do them the first time that I did them. He thought that it was the funniest thing that he had ever seen.
