Church On Sunday

Well, we finally made it back to Church. We had not been since before Morgan was born and we have definitely been missing it. It was one of those things that just nagged at both Heath and I; we wanted to go but knew it would be hard to get everybody ready and out the door, especially with two in tow! Saturday afternoon we decided that this would finally be the weekend we took the plunge and made it back. It was much easier than I thought it would be; but I guess it is all the same as getting ready every morning for work and daycare. One of the things that I loved about Sunday’s when we were going to Church every weekend is that we took a picture of Avery. Heath would hold her and I would take a picture and then I would hold her and he would take the picture. I want to make sure we take pictures every weekend (or as many as we can) because it has been fun looking back at how she changed from week to week. We are going to have to figure out how to work our self timer and find a place to put the camera up on that will work for pictures! Avery has been great at daycare when we drop her off. No crying or tears; she will give us a big smile, a high five and even wave to us when we are driving away. I didn’t think we would be that lucky on Sunday and I was right. She had been without her pacifier the whole weekend (we are trying to wean her off but have been a little slack) and of course she did the little lip roll as soon as we tried to hand her over. She started crying right away but got calmed down once a few other kids came and with some help from her paci. If we can keep going consistently then I am hoping that it will be the same as when we drop her off at daycare. Maybe a smile, high five and a little wave from the windows that line the room. I remember when we first started going and Avery was just a few months old. The kids in the toddler room seemed so big and I always enjoyed them looking through the glass as we all exited the service to pick up our own little one. Now our sweet Avery has joined the ranks of the toddlers who greet us after Church! Of course Morgan was great. She just curled right up to one of the Nursery workers and sacked out. What a great little cuddle bug. Of course everybody at Church loves both the girls and they are quite the addition to the children’s ministry.
