It has been a good few days. The weather was beautiful on Thursday which allowed us to spend a lot of time outside. Eli loves to be outside this is for sure! We went to FBCW playground for over an hour and enjoyed the day the Lord had blessed us with. Friday was rainy...but, God is so good to send our area rain...b/c we need it so much right now. We had a great dinner with Mom and Dad Keith that night....it is hard to get to really sit down and talk together b/c they tend to watch Eli for us during the week so Chris and I can go out to dinner, which we are truly grateful for...but we miss out on getting to have good conversation for more than just a few minutes. It is so incredible watching them love on Eli as well. They have so much love for him...and it's such a blessing to watch him with them! Anyhow, again we couldn't be more blessed for the parents we have!! It was a sweet time of fellowship and encouragement!
Chris and I got to spend most of Saturday with Eli which was nice....it's been a little hard with his class to find time to just hang out right now...but we did on Saturday and that was...nice...smile! We celebrated Harper turning two that night and it was much fun. Eli wasn't sure why everyone wasn't singing happy birthday to him...but, it was a lesson he will have to learn again and again...that everything isn't about him....Chris and I talked about how it's a reality check for us all at times!! He did really well though...and the birthday party was great....Jenny is so creative and the monkey cake was a huge hit!!
The time change hit us hard...still adjusting...will take us a little while I think...after church the girls in our small group celebrated the upcoming arrival of baby Johnson (Jenny and Nicks second little boy)....we can't wait to meet him. We had lunch and went to the mall for a little while. It was a very nice afternoon. It is always wonderful to have a good conversation with your friends. Chris and Eli had some guy time...and enjoyed a long walk to the playground and some time at the slide. We had fun hanging out the rest of the evening.
We are adjusting to the time change today pretty well though...I think Eli will just stay up longer at night and get up later...we'll see how that works.
Again, I am just overwhelmingly blessed. We do not deserve anything close to what we have....and I take so much for granted. I am reminded this day of the over abundance of gifts we have and want the Lord to show us how we can use every little thing for His glory...that is my prayer today.
