Better Behaved Boy and Other Blessings

Luke had such a better day today, beginning, middle and end. Considering all the activity that we packed in, we are very thankful to God. Luke's first comment this morning was that his sheets stayed dry and that was a gift from God. :-) I love that my toddler thanks God for the simple, mundane, yet totally meaningful small gifts. Dry sheets! We should all be thankful!

We headed to church and Luke enjoyed his time in Kidzone. Baby Paul was quarantined in the port-a-crib and didn't seem to mind at all. We are blessed to attend a satellite service held in an elementary school where everyone knows us and loves us. Hence when we show up with a snotty, coughy baby, our friend Jean just smiles and takes him anyway. So you don't worry, his fever was totally absent today. I'm actually thinking it was more connected with his teething than his cold, but I'm still taking him to the pediatrician tomorrow. It's been three weeks and I want antibiotics. Enough is enough.

After church we came home for lunch and super quick naps. We actually had to wake Luke from his nap to head out the door again. We lead a small group on Sunday afternoons, but it meets in a house that is roughly 40 minutes north of us. That probably sounds nuts, but we love these people and feel blessed to spend time with them. It's not always convenient, but it is always rewarding.

We arrived home and had a very smooth transition to bedtime. I love it. Here are the cute pictures.

Before church Luke was reading to Elephant from one of his current favorites. This is all taking place in Paul's room because Luke really wanted to be reading to Paul who was unavailable at the time.

This evening before his bedtime, Baby Paul was showing off his sitting skills. Those are 9 month jammies and they are fitting a little snug. Oh dear.
