Today was our last full day of SERVE. Tomorrow is time to go home, but that didn't put a damper on the fun we had today and the anticipation of the evening to come. But I'm (Fayth) getting ahead of myself. Let's start at the beginning.
Alex is bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning!
The kitchen crew taking a bit of a break before everyone is up and waiting for the food to be served.
Joanna's awake! Hey Jo!
We don't have any dryers here at the church so we make do with what we have - railings! Isn't it colorful?
Shawn is just waking up. Get up, slow poke!
Oooo... the boys room is messssyyyyyy
Jovita and Rosy opening up warm fuzzy's and coloring. Jovita is an awesome color-er!
Brenda is our second nurse that Ron feels really bad about not putting in sooner but is still just as important, and always has a bright smile for all of us. Thank you, Brenda!
Hannah and Annette did the prayer this morning, soldier style!
Jovita getting into the mood :)
Breakfast this morning was pancakes and sausage. Taurie is here getting her food.
