church

I was NOT looking forward to church this last Sunday. We used to go from 9AM-12PM, but with the new year came a new time. 1PM-4PM. That is the EXACT time that Asher and Collin take naps. (Which means that on my lucky days, I get to nap too!)
Wow, Heavenly Father was truly testing me.

The dreaded Sabbath morning rolled around, and to my great astonishment, it was...heavenly!

We all slept til 8. Nate and I awoke to cooing coming from Collin's room next door. No sooner had we pulled him into bed for cuddles, our door slammed open and there stood Asher with a large, mischevious grin. (Come to think of it, his grin looks that way most of the time these days. And for good reason!)
We relished the next hour of cuddles, group hugs, kisses & tickles.

Breakfast.

Then mommy & daddy read books on the couch while the boys played happily together on the floor. Wow. Seriously??

But I was no fool. Sure everything was great now, but church would be a nightmare.

It wasn't. Not at all.

The end.

Life lesson learned: try to be more optimistic, have more faith.

Yay! Glad it went well. I always hate that time too, especially since my kids don't really sleep well if they're being held. We're at 9 now, so once we get into our schedule it should be great, especially since Drew starts nursery in February! :)

Yea for morning snuggles. I can't wait for Jane to be big enough, and not eating EVERY time Katherine comes into our room in the morning. I love that your day went so smoothly and you had such great family time.

Aw, I miss that Asher!! Collin looks so much like Asher did as a baby that I just want to snuggle him just to make sure he's as snuggly as Asher was :).
