Sunday morning and Fall is definitely in the air.....it was clear and crisp with occasional clouds trying to block the sunlight. We all managed to get ready for Church and arrive on time.
Eliza was a little gem throughout sacrament meeting....even sitting very quietly without toys during the Sacrament. She was delighted to discover that she had a little nursery all to herself during the first part of the second hour. It is a wonderfully stocked with great toys for little girls....and boys. She and her mother stayed there for most of the hour, with another little boy and Sister Hamblin coming in later.
Rebekah and I went to Relief Society and all of the sisters (perhaps a dozen) in there gave a collective sigh when I entered with her. Halfway through she began fussing and I stood to do the required dancing....she burped, and once again the response from the sisters was a big smile and nod as if to say "That was the problem!"
After church we came home and had a bite of lunch, and a nap for the girls. SK took advantage of the time to entertain Rebekah.

Later we headed out to find the little town of SK's ancestors. We entered the beautiful little village, found the church and spent quite a bit of time looking at the gravestones and taking pictures. It was overcast and beautiful and even little Eliza enjoyed the time there.
It was dark after we got home, and Sister Hamblin had a pot of chili for us....which really hit the spot. Everyone ate...the little girls went to bed, and now as I type, Lia, Peter and SK have "The DK Book" and are debating which place to go tomorrow. They are laughing and teasing. It will be good.
Sunday is not a day of rest for parents of small children (probably all children), but it was a nice day,
Sounds like this Sabbath day was a wonderful one. Interesting that Little Rebekah was with no coat - while you others (except Stan) had coats on. Babies adjust so well and those little girls are so precious. Coming home to a warm bowl of chili would hit the spot with me. Enjoy the rest of your time together. L&P
ReplyDeleteYes...it was wonderful. The truth is that those coats made Lia and Peter too warm....SK didn't see the need for one, and my sweater from church was just right....but we swaddled Rebekah up right after I took the pictures. They ARE so precious and we are loving having them here. They seem to be adjusting for which I am grateful. How was you day in Woodruff? L&P
DeleteSO fun to see the kids - and witness a beautiful blessing. The day was windy - not hot or cold - so just right. Had a good meal afterwards - and a good visit. Went out to join my Kathy and her work friends & 2 Elders
Deleteto see the new temple. It was beautiful - and some of our group had some very good questions for the Elders. (Spectacular young men!) L&P
It warms my heart to see Dad holding Rebekah! What a wonderful thing for you to see those sweet girls.
ReplyDeleteIt warms my heart to HOLD those little girls! What a blessing.
