Claire placed us into the first ever Reston Orchestra! She explained each of our instruments and roles and then allowed us to play our invisible instruments with classical music. Claire is definitely a TVTL (too valuable to leave). We love her dearly.


Lynne is a baby-monger. I can say this because I am constantly fighting her to hold babies. She has an incredible heart and wonderful hugs. Here Faith is being comforted while her mommy teaches us orchestra.


This was a scene from Isaac's family play. He was one of the Wright brothers finally flying their plane.


Linda takes our little ones so seriously. She has absolutely no fun with them at all. Today she brought in dress up clothes. Seven princesses and one prince!

We were riveted by Dr. Heiman's presentation.


Dr. Heiman-real-life-adventureman spoke with us about his adventures as a geologist today! He's repelled out of a helicopter, been chased by a bear, administered 27 stitches on his own leg and then hiked for many miles, been bitten by a rattlesnake -- while holding on a steep cliff and camped alone for a month! And we thought geologist spent his career in an air conditioned office.


Thank you Dr. Heiman!

Reston Classical Conversations Orchestra performed various pieces today. Boaz and Nathan were in the violin section.

Brian loves the history cards!


Nancy has cleaned our church every week for the last seven weeks! Wow! Nancy is incredible! Thank you! This week she needed to be elsewhere and our newest Harvest janitor took charge. Boaz made the men's room sparkle and smell great!

Caleb had been happily sleeping on Lynnea's shoulder when he suddenly heard his momma's voice. He perked up and instantly looked toward her. Such love.
