Today was a very special day. It was our first Sunday at New Grace Church and the church body's first Sunday in our new church building. It was very exciting! It was also very tiring! It was so neat to watch this group of people go from losing their church building almost two years ago, to seeing them walk into the building today worshiping God for where he has brought them. What a growing experience! We are so blessed to be here.
Jay did a wonderful job. I got to church on time with 3 kids. Isaac had a blast. Josiah promised not to cry and did great. Olivia was named "Princess" by the nursery workers. We all had a great nap! :)
Olivia barely made it through her bottle before nap time...she actually did fall asleep while drinking it. The boys put on a puppet show for us before they took a nap and it was quite entertaining.
We have NO evening services. What?? Oh man! It is so nice to have a whole afternoon and evening as a family. Why didn't someone tell us this? Hee hee!

Good job getting to church on time with 3 kids. I just love Olivia's pony tail. Maybe it's because Sadie is in the in between hair stage. We prayed for you yesterday. WE love you guys!
I am so glad your first Sunday went great...and to make it on time is a huge accomplishment! Kelby is in a puppet show phase right now. Don't they have great imaginations!

I was praying for you all morning. Glad it went so well! I love Miss O's gap-toothed grin!!
Ok..I'm a dork! I figured it out. When you click on someone's recent blog (instead of their name), the page comes up with just that blog---and all the comments can be seen all at one time.
What a great Sunday. I'm so glad God gave you a great "first" Sunday with your new church. What a great match for all of you. Princess Olivia, suits her well. I love it that Siah didn't cry and I LOVE the puppet show. And NO evening service, ahhh how nice ;)
