"It's lightning bug season!"

Oh, to hear the excited exclamation of a 7-year-old when he sees his first lightning bugs (fireflies) of the season! Graham was so excited when we stepped outdoors this evening and he saw them lighting up our yard. I had to go get a jar and poke holes in the lid and he ran around the yard till he found around five and decided that was enough for his "night light" for tonight! He put the jar next to his bed and then said that he would turn on the light till he was ready for bed so they wouldn't use up all their power!!!! Oh, to be so young and have such simple things in God's world make your day! (click on the picture and note that there are two lightning bugs lighted up--one at the top and one at the bottom of the jar!)

He also had a good ending to his soccer camp. It was quite hot this afternoon, but they ran their little hearts out following their coaches' instructions and playing fun games that were teaching them the fundamentals of soccer. Then at the end of today's session, they had hot dogs, chips, lemonade, and popsicles for the boys and their parents. Graham chose to just get lemonade and a popsicle as he said that the rest of the food would just make him hotter! Then they were each given a certificate and a shirt. Graham really enjoyed his introduction to soccer and made several new friends. I asked him if it was okay to have girls on his team and he said that it was fine as long as the boys outnumbered the girls!

Graham and I went to the early service at church and then went to Sunday School. Woody again taught his 8th grade boys' Sunday School class. Tonight Woody is watching basketball (but really dozing...I think!).

I wonder if we will hear from Vanderbilt this week about the double-blind drug study.
