Me and My gang

One of the things that I LOVE about my week is my Sunday school class. I "teach" (I use this word loosely as I am not sure who learns more, me or them) a group of children with special needs during my church's (www.ccwc.org) third service. These kids sparkle! We never have a dull moment and I always leave exhausted... but I leave knowing that we have laughed and had a good time while their parent(s) have gotten to be spiritually refreshed.
Today we hung out and took some pictures. What a bunch of hams! I realized when I got home that I was not in any of them as I was the one holding the camera the entire time. I will have to rectify that next time. As soon as I find my USB port adapter I will upload the pics from my camera. We are a mixed bunch and there are all of my wonderful volunteers and helpers that make it such a rewarding experience. I need to make mention of my team...
*Patch - the talent and comedian of our group. Thank you for always standing your ground and being so committed to making each one of our kids feel loved and accepted.
*Sally (as in Jack's girlfriend) - you hide under that tough skin, but you have a heart of pure gold. You, my friend, are an eagle and the keeper of the "kool" points.
*Shania - my drama queen - hold your head up high, you have far to go in this life and do not let anyone tell you differently!
*Dancing Queen - I SO admire your talents. Knowing you, as well as your family, has been such a gift in my life. I will be able to say "I knew her when...." Don't ever let anyone quench your fire!
*Elizabeth - (Dancing Queen's mom) - you are my sage. I love your tenacity and insight and your ability to keep me grounded and to give a different perspective. Thank you for holding my hand as I walk out into this new stage of my life (you know what I mean!!)
*Fireman - you are a true hero, in every sense of the word.
*Delio - if and when you ever come back, our game is BACK ON!!

If you are ever in our neck of the woods, you should stop by and meet the most amazing group of kiddos you will ever have the pleasure of knowing!!! Just be forwarned, I do sing in the class, so bring earplugs! :o)
