Annabelle gets the spotlight

Since the day she arrived in our home, Annabelle has been watching her brother and sisters on the stage. Seriously, I have no idea how many shows she’s been to over the past 5 months. She’s been a great supporter and fan of her siblings. Her favorite parts of Levi’s shows have been either the kissing scenes, or when he gets to whack somebody in the head. I’m not exactly sure what that says about her…or us…

At any rate, she got her moment to shine tonight. Our church puts on a sports camp (instead of a traditional classroom-based vacation Bible school) each summer. It’s been a huge hit with the families around town, and the children get to learn some skills and hear the good news about God’s love for them. Win-Win.

Levi coached footballers again this year, and loves watching his cousins Mitchell and Malachi tear it up. Lilly and Mackenzie ruled the softball diamond, and Sadie honed her hoop skills. But Annabelle decided that she wanted to take the dance class. She LOVED it! She couldn’t wait to show us what she learned this week. When we walked into the cafeteria, she popped out from behind the door asking, “Are you ready to see me dance?!” I love the way she gets excited to share something that she’s learned with us.

Here’s a clip of the class getting funky

We are thrilled with the ways she is growing. She’s learning about Jesus, about what it means to be family, and loving her life with us. She’s adjusting very well to life in the Sublett house!

After Camp dismissed, Kim took all the kids out for ice cream at DQ. Not a bad way to wrap up the camp…
