Laela woke up to eat in the night at 3am, and sadly, that was it for me for sleep. Needless to say, I am tired. But still happy. It was a really good day!
Brady had to work a full day today, so the kids and I piled in the car and headed over to my parents place to spend the afternoon and evening with my mom. I miss those days. We’ve all gotten so busy lately, and don’t get to see each other as often. Or else we see each other, but in very brief stints. Don’t get me wrong! I’ll take what I can get! But it was such a nice, relaxing day. We shared lunch, and then played with the kids until it was nap time, and then my mom and I watched a movie in the living room. It was perfect.
Tomorrow, we are skipping church. Dekker gets so overwhelmed in the crowd that comes with church, and with his surgery coming up on Tuesday (aaaaaahhhhh!!!) I just don’t want to push him that way right now. So we’ll hide out. And apparently, around 4:00pm, my parents will come out and relieve us of our parental duties so we can go on a date! I am happy to report that I have zero idea about what we’re doing on our date night, and am fully looking forward to it. I wonder how I’ll dress for it. Is “unconventional chic” a thing??
** As usual, for those just checking in, our family is calling out for prayers for February 1th at 9:15am. We want Dekkers eyes healed once and for all!
