Day 2 Day Joys: Oct 1-7

Week of October 1

Sunday Best!!

We had a baptism at church this week. The children are able to come up and see better!

Praise God!

He also became a member as well!

New picture for the website as an Elder!

Fun with boxes!

Got carrots from our neighbors. They were huge and delicous!

The kids had letters out and i showed them once how you could put them in your eyes and they would stay. Well Drayden was obsessed. So we did it again and again and again!

Took this picture...cause why not?!!?

We went and put some chairs together at the church that night and the kids had a blast with the boxes, while Chris and I had an assembly line going to get 8 chairs put together. 

This little smarty pants. He can't quite get up on the couch...but he went over to the cabinet and got two play-dough containers, and then used them to climb up on the couch. This is his victory smile!

He also uses the dress-up bin.

Friends came over and Raya loves holding little Braham!

Ryken drew our first family picture!

I just love it! 

We are starting to train Drayden to sit on his own for Family Worship, which will lead to at prayer meeting and at Church.

I remember taking this picture and just thinking, WOW, God has given us 3 beautiful children. We are so undeserving. I pray that I learn to love, teach and nurture them with greater kindness and wisdom. A daily prayer!

Took at a walk and explored at another park! There is so much beauty so close to home that we are just discovering and I am so grateful!! 

We haven't done a Home Depot Kids workshop in awhile...so we went and they made a fire station bank.

 Thankfully Drayden just sat in the cart and watched everyone around for most the part. Other times, he was playing with a screw driver or foam letters. Over all it was pretty smooth with no help, as Chris always has his Elder/Deacon meeting on the first Saturdays of the month. 

We also went to Maplewood again this weekend and got out and explored and through rocks into the water like the kids just love to do. Always so thankful for our time together!

Celebrating the ordinary moments that make like extraordinary!!
