I had to clean and organize the entire room this afternoon, but I found the camera cord UNDER Elyssia's little bed. It was a really good day and the kids were able to have all kinds of new experiences. They made new friends and went to S.S. They really enjoyed going with their cousins and had lots of things to share about their lessons and songs. It was a rare treat to sit with Scott in church and not have to try to divide my attention between the sermon and the kids. I was also able to take lots of notes, due to the fact that I had a hand free to write with:). It was different to be in such a large church(close to 600), The people were very friendly and it was neat to hear so many voices singing and praising the Lord. I couldn't help but miss our little church though. I had the opportunity to call a few people from back home today and that helped. They've had quite a bit of snow since we left. We are feeling pretty spring-like here. We wore coats tonight, but took them off several times. Here are the pictures from yesterday and also a couple from today:

|
We had to get a picture together while we were all dressed up. |
|
Kiersten had a cookie at church. I wanted to get a picture of her leg band. It has a number on it. I got a little ticket with the same number and it would have flashed on the screen if I needed to come help her. |
|
This was in the visitor's welcome bag. A really neat idea! |
|
Caleb's leg band. |
|
Caleb thought his pull up made a great hat. Silly guy! |

Happy eating hot dogs. |

Some new things to try. |

Tonight we went out to Wendys with all of the family to get a bite to eat before heading home. It was really funny to see the kids interacting with one another. They love to revolve around Chandler. I think he enjoys it too:). We're invited to Chandler's baseball game and Cafe Forte in the evening. Cameryn will be singing in a fundraiser that Nathan has put together. I'm not sure if we'll all go, but there's plenty of time to plan it out tomorrow. We're planning to try to stay a bit more on schedule with the kids, but use the morning to get some errands run. It's nice to have the free time, but also some activities going on so that we're not at loose ends while the others are working and at school It's after 10 here now, so I'll be heading to bed. Til next time...
What wonderful pictures and memories! I am so happy for all of you! :) Love and miss you all! Hugs! Can you and your mom share a hug for me?
