and done.

it's been awhile....

sorry, i know it's been almost a whole month since i've posted anything, i just haven't taken many pictures lately. our past month has included a week (for me and my mom) of counseling at sr. high church camp and a week of "bonding time" for john and the kids, ruby spraining her ankle three weeks ago and not walking since, jack and i getting ready to go back to school, weaning ruby, the county fair, and enjoying the last bits of summer.

here are a few pictures from my time at EYC (episcopal youth camp), where i was a counselor to a cabin of eleventh and twelfth grade girls. i had a wonderful time watching the way that these high schoolers loved each other into a true christ-centered community. but man, i was seriously tired at the end of it. i'm not able to post any pics of the campers, so the pictures aren't the best snapshot of the week. but at least you get a little peek....
