Sunday

It was a pretty fall day, albeit a bit chilly. I had my first big outing today. By that I mean, getting up and getting all 4 of us girls ready to be somewhere solely by myself in the morning. I get us ready almost every day by myself, however this was the first time to do it and be somewhere in the morning. Josh was working and we went to church. This was a bit of an adventure since our church just moved to a brand new building. It is massive! Fortunately, they have thought of some great details to make things easier for people. The parking lot rivals a shopping mall (no joke), but at least there are spaces now for everyone. The awesome detail is that they have an entrance on the side that goes right into where the smallest children have their classes. There is family and handicapped parking right by this entrance. It is much closer and much easier.

So, we arrived (early) and unloaded out of the car. First stop was Keirah since she is on the main floor. We dropped her off at her class. Noelliah is also on the main floor, however I am not putting her into the nursery yet since she is so little and young. Next stop was upstairs for Aliyah--check. Talked to a few people along the way and then had to find my class. Went from upstairs to the main floor to the basement to the very end of a long hallway and found my class. I'm amazed I found everything and still made it on time to class (with time to spare). Noelliah stayed all cozy with me during class. After class, we (Noelliah and I) went up to the main floor and then upstairs to retrieve Aliyah from class. We got her and decided to go into the sanctuary on the side of the balcony to go to worship. We sat there because I figured it would be easiest if we needed to make a quick exit if Noelliah needed to leave. We only stayed for singing because I knew it was time for her to eat soon and we had a drive home. We picked up Keirah, loaded up into the car and I breathed a sigh of relief as I made it on my first solo outing like that. Why did we go?? Well, the girls have both been asking about going several times yesterday.

We made it home just in time for Noelliah's very filled diaper and in time for her to eat. We took a nap (much needed yet again). We spent the rest of the afternoon by enjoying the outdoors. We took our walk and then the girls rode their bikes. What a difference a few days makes in the bike riding progress for Aliyah. She is so much more confident now. She absolutely is enjoying herself. Keirah likes riding as well. Noelliah (cuddled in the sling) and I watered the grass patch spots. I will be glad when it is past the watering daily stage and growing. We came inside to straighten up the typical Sunday mess and remake Kiki's bed. That is now finished and I'm trying to catch up on such things as bills and feeding the baby of course (she seemingly ate all afternoon). She needs to gain weight anyway. I will gladly give her some pounds =).

So, not much overly exciting...a taking it easy kind of day. We needed a break this weekend. Now it is time for the Amazing Race on tv while Noelliah...eats =).
