Sweet Sunday

It's been a good Sunday. Today was our Sunday to work the Welcome Center at church. The service was great, the music was awesome and he sermon was really good.

It was about raising kids to have morals, no matter what kind of world they will be growing up in. It was just really good and made sense.

I like sermons like that.

I'm not a big fan of Sunday's. It marks the end of the weekend, which usually has been good, and getting back into the swing of the work week.
So good church services are a good thing. Don't you agree?

The girls were good in church, which in itself makes for a GREAT Sunday. That means that I didn't sweat like crazy (literally) because Kate was crawling all over and Anne was professing to everyone that SHE LOVED JESUS at the top of her lungs, or mimicking handing out communion to the pew-mates. Adam didn't give me 'the look' about them being nuts...so like I said, it's been a Sweet Sunday

(I thought they were too cute NOT to take pictures of before and after church. :))

Kate hearts Daddy....

...since Kate was in-utero, she has had a soft spot for Adam. He would talk into my belly and she would either a)calm down or b) perk up, depending on what she was doing first.

When she was a newborn she would instantly quit crying when Adam held her, it was so sweet. Now, she cries when he leaves, when I'm holding her and she wants him, and will run like she has fire in her shorts when she sees him from across the room. It really is endearing. (although, sometimes a little much to handle, I did nurse her for darn near a YEAR! She at times will run from me as if I am contagious!)

There is really something special about a Daddy and his girls!

...Finkin'

So, as you may know...Anne started pre-school last Thursday. She came through with flying colors. I was quite annoyed because she is tight-lipped on the whole ordeal. If we probe her enough she may let loose of some very vague info, otherwise MUM IS THE WORD. Quite irritating!

By Friday morning, I asked her one too many questions, her response was "I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" eeks! I dropped it.

On her own, Friday evening, over dinner, she takes on a rather inquisitive/studious look. One of us asked what she was doing....

Anne-".....finkin', finkin', finkin',
Me- "Oh yeah, what are you thinking about?"
Anne-"what I don't like about school...."
Me- *room gets fuzzy, starts to spin* "OHHHH?"
Anne-(in her most DRAMATIC drawn out voice.) "THERE IS 'NUFFIN I DON"T LIKE ABOUT SCHOOL."

So there you have it, there you are! I think we have a winner, here, folks!

And the best part? Her teacher reads the love notes I leave on her napkin! (sniff!)

Pre-school Pro

Totally candid. I just clicked at the right time. Perfect picture!
New shoes for school
Ready with her lunch box!
Anne's teacher Mrs. Kiessling. Doesn't she just look like L.O.V.E????
Just too much to handle. Fell asleep in the car.

Survived!

Day one down! The kids were sweet. The whole day was seamless. Makes me wonder just a little what tomorrow may bring.

Oh that's) right, that's the day ANNE goes to SCHOOL. (once again, hurling on the keyboard!)

The pictures are of my classroom, obviously. I knew my mom and sister would like to scope out what it looked like this year.

I have a good feeling about this year.
