We are AWANA Cubbies.....


So we had our last Cubbies (sad sigh)..... This is my second year as a leader. I have to say that the year started out a little shaky. Lots(40 plus) of little ones and not enough help. Plus our church moved into its temporary facility (an old grocery store) which really made space tight. However, we triumphed. Proving yet again how God is so good. Even when times are interesting.

Though our group looks little, we have slowly lost Cubbies since about January. This is the nature of the beast when all of the families are military. Moving often comes quickly and swift. So, even though there are only four little ones in the picture, five others have moved. How much I missed their smiling faces!!!

Things that I will miss:

Christian singing his verses each week. What a sweet little voice!!

Clara and her sunglasses! Plus a memory that could tell you a verse from the first week of Cubbies. My little Cubbie is moving to Washington. I will miss your smiling face and wonderful giggles.

Mr. Matthew and his super powers. (However these were lost when moving to Okinawa or so he says). I am sad that you will be going on to Sparkys!

Summer and teaching me Japanese! Another headed to Sparkys!

And my partner in crime- Angela!! I will miss our ideas and fits of giggles we got at things the kids said or did! No one will be able to replace you!! I was so looking forward to being a team next year, but of course you had to go and get orders to Fort Polk!
