On this Spring Sunday I woke and admired the fresh tulips on my dining room table. Then I rushed around feeding and dressing each child and making sure the diaper bag was stocked with necessities.
I am always the last one to get ready and today was no different. I threw on and took off about three different outfits before I settled.
Then I run a brush through my hair and sit to nurse the baby while listening to the older kids find their church shoes. Joseph has taken it upon himself to help Finley put on his jacket and zip it up (since he can do zippers now, YAY!). Everyone hustles out to the van and gets their seat belts on acts as though they've escaped from the zoo. Every blinker is on, every door is open, some are shedding tears, there is screaming (I won't tell you who from) and we were supposed to leave ten minutes ago.
After church is probably my favorite because I get to snuggle up next to this handsome little boy and watch him drift off to sleep. He seems so grown up lately I can hardly handle it! Those long lashes of his get me every time!
The afternoon sun was calling us outside so we went for a family walk after dinner. We watched the geese fly overhead in their famous "V" formation. The children stood in awe as we watched and listened. We saw a red breasted Robin in a tree and listened to it's familiar Spring song. The children climbed the tree at the end of the trail like they always do, even higher than last time!
Finley was tickled to be allowed to walk to the dog. I hung back with him and listened to his sweet little voice, "Doooood dirl, Reesie! Tum-on! Wet's go!" I wish I could freeze him at this stage. He's so darn cute!! Happy Sunday!
