lance is home!

As I write this, Lance is home and putting away his suitcase and things.  LJ, who stayed up for his arrival, is running around in his diaper saying, "dada".."dada"...:)  It's so good to have him home.  He's home for 7 days, then heads out for ten, so we are going to make the most of this week!  

Lj and I had a great day - we went to church and he did SO WELL in childcare.  Rather than allowing me to walk him in, I had to "pass him through, over the counter...", as they said it.  LJ wasn't happy, so I spent a lot of the church service preoccupied with whether he was doing well.  It was so good to be back in church, though -- it's been a few weeks, and my week's not fully complete without meeting God in His house.  My daily quiet times are wonderful, but there's nothing like worshiping with other believers - the band, the Word, it was great.  The church was nice, maybe not as comfortable as our home church, but what is?  

After church, LJ and I went to Target then to eat at Don Pablo's before heading home.  It was a great afternoon, and I was all but yelling "Blue's Clues" lines at LJ to keep him awake on the drive.  When we returned home, we took Rookie for a good walk, then put LJ down for a nap.  While he napped, I got things ready for our little dinner with our neighbors, The Guthries.  She made a delicious chicken casserole, and I made salad and dessert.  Afterwards, we let the kids play outside -- it was a nice night.

After taking Rookie out again, LJ took a bath and we waited for Lance.  it's so good to have him home.  I posted only a few pictures of today -- I'll post more tomorrow.  

goodnight!!!!

love,

Jamie
