Calm

We had such a nice, calm, relaxing weekend. No set plans, nothing pressing ~ just a weekend full of family fun. We spent Saturday morning picking almost 6 pounds of blueberries and then we headed to the zoo with the girls! Today, we had another wonderful church service and Sunday School class. Sundays have quickly become my most favorite day of the week. We look foward to seeing our friends, and being in fellowship among other believers. I wrote a bible verse on my facebook page just the other day: "Because of the LORD's great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness"(Lamentations 3:22-23). Guess what hymn was sung at church today? "Great is Thy Faithfulness"! Don't you just love it when that happens?

The girls are doing wonderfully during their time in church nursery/Sunday School. There was a time in the not so' distant past, when Carlie would cry as soon as we walked away. She would cling to the nursery teachers and want to be held the whole morning. Brad and I decided to continue leaving her and knew that eventually Carlie would be able to easily let go of mommy and daddy. We felt she was too young to sit in "big church" and she needs to learn that we WILL come back! Well, she has mastered her goal! She happily goes to Mrs. Anne each Sunday, plays alone and with friends, with no tears, and hangs out for the full two or more hours we are there. I'm so proud of that little girl!

Speaking of Carlie, we found her in an interesting "way" before we went to bed last night. You'll notice in the last pictures, that her pj's just weren't quite right! Those pictures were taken around 11:00pm (as you can see, she looked up at us like we were nuts for taking her picture!). Anyway, we put her arm back through and off to sleep she went. Well, wouldn't you know that she woke up that way at 6:30am this morning AGAIN? She cracks us up! Enjoy the pics from our weekend. We hope you all have a safe and blessed weekend too!
