We did it, boys!! We made it through these cold winter months stuck indoors and are now starting to venture out! This weekend seemed to be your coming out party. Saturday we had some of our close friends over, who you both finally met. You finally met your first friend too, their daughter (Ryan, you really did like Grace, while this picture begs to differ). This fun evening also included your first bonfire; snuggled up, you both enjoyed it and fell asleep.
While we so enjoyed Saturday evening, today was a day I've been looking forward to since before you were born...your first day at church! All week long you woke up between 6/6:30, again between 9:30 and 10, and again between 12:30 and 1 - perfect for church. Of course, today you decided to change it up! You both slept through the night from 9:30 to 8 AM!! And while this was exciting to sleep in, it made our game plan for getting ready for church a little trickier. But, we managed and were still out the door on time.
Once there, you boys did an awesome job. Ryan, you slept from the moment we began driving to church and all the way through church. However, you smiled and stirred every time you heard Aunt Aubrey talk. Here you are listening to Paka preach.
Wiley, while you should have been sleeping too, you woke up soon after arriving and were awake for most of the day. You were just too excited to fall asleep, but don't worry, you were well behaved!
Today's message was "spring is the season for sowing seeds." It seemed so fitting for your first day at church, our first official day of sowing seeds for your own spiritual walk. It is our hope and prayer that one day you will both chose to have your own personal relationships with Christ. It is exciting to think that today was the start of your own journey. We are so excited to watch you grow in The Church and with your church family.
Once home, you both slept through your lunchtime (such a big day was exhausting for you boys!). When you finally woke up, our family of four enjoyed the gorgeous weather together outside.
You boys bring us so much joy. Our lives are so complete. We are blessed that you are healthy, growing, and doing so well. We are thankful that April is here and we are finally able to introduce you to this great big world. It is so exciting to think of all the possibilities that your futures hold. I can't wait to see what this life brings you both!
