It's seems so strange that the holidays have come about so quickly. I can hardly believe I leave to go home on Friday of this week!
Luckily, the past several weeks have been extremely busy and made the time fly by in anticipation of going home!
Just last week we took a field trip to the Circus Arts Institute with the kids from SAY Yes! During this event the kids were taken to a studio run by a former circus performer. Here they participated in a circuit rotation where they were taught to juggle scarves, walk the balance beam, and perform other circus activities! The rotation focused on teamwork, trust, and listening while allowing the kids to enjoy themselves in a safe and fun atmosphere.
The kids had a wonderful time and are already looking forward to the trip next year!
In addition to the circus arts trip, I also had the pleasure of attending a Christmas concert put on by the Atlanta symphony and gospel choir. The performance was amazing and left me astounded by their extreme talent!
I've also been extremely busy as I've started up a small beanie and headband business. As I've mentioned before, i am selling knitted and crocheted beanies and headbands to raise money for Mission Year. The headbands are $15 and the beanies are $25. You can see pictures of them at www.accentsbyjanellelynn.wordpress.com. They're great for cold weather (they've been keeping me warm as I walk to work in below freezing weather) and also make great Christmas gifts. If you're interested in ordering any please let me know asap! you can email me at accentsbyjanellelynn@gmail.com!
Well, I won't write too much more since I will soon be home with many of you sharing my stories in person! I cannot wait to see everyone and hope that everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!
