was one of the best things ever conceived of for moms. :)
The kidlets are officially signed up and went for their first day of "school" yesterday. Oh man, it was so nice to not be called "Mommy!" for 6 hours! And bonus- I got to spend a good portion of time yesterday playing with scrappy stuff. Good times, good times.
In other news...
we recently changed churches.
Dude, this was a hard, hard, hard,
difficult decision. It had
nothing to do with the church we were going to... we absolutely love that church (and still plan to go visit as frequently as possible). It was more to do with the fact that we really felt like God was leading us somewhere different.
Now, people use that Christian jargon all the time... to the point that it feels like it's almost an excuse to cover up what you're really thinking sometimes. In this case, though, it is 100% truth. We had to make a choice between two really good things for our family, and to see where God would take us in the next few years as far as ministry and being a part of our community was concerned.
So anyways, it's been on my mind (obviously) a lot lately.... just a big change in our life. A good change.
Here are some pics from going to Community Group last Sunday night...
Seriously, what in the heck?!
Atticus decided to literally pour Root Beer all over himself. I turned around to see him holding over his shirt and then looking at me and saying "Uh Oh."
We had to use an extra shirt that Em had in her bag.
Yeah, my kids are pretty much going to hate me for some of these pics when they're older.
Hehehe

You have to make those decisions. We were in a similar situation a few years back. I honestly have to say that leaving the church where we were and WAITING on God to direct us to the church where we are now, was one of the best things we have ever done spiritually!!
Ok, going back to look at that picture of Atticus...oh and Ummmm your pics look great...even if you are using a Nikon..did I just blog in your comments?!?! Lub you!
Love the fishing pictures! Can't wait to see how you scap them, because they're very scrappable. And yeah, Atticus will hate for taking those pics one day! teehee!
Hope the church situation works out well for you - you just have to go where He leads you!!
And my favorite picture is Atticus squatting next to the other little boy - like they are sharing some deep dark fishing secret - so cute. Well, the pink shirt and Em scratching her hiney are pretty funny too!!
OK - I feel better having vented in your comments. Thank you for your time and space. ;)
I hope poopiness isn't spreading 'round your 'appy 'ome.
And good for you for making the best decision for your family. We have been in the situation before and it can be very difficult leaving. I hope you enjoy getting involved in your new church! ;)
LOL! I'm still laughing! :-)
Gorgeous photos otherwise, go you!
I am about to enroll Jackson in Mother's Day Out....cause I need a break too.
I know, decisions are hard and you always second guess yourself, i just always try to tell myself if my gut says its right i have to trust that or i would obsess !
Have a wonderful week !
JENN :)
Congrats on the new Church and the Mothers Day out! Woohoo!!!!
