What a difference a day makes

Today has been one of the most successful Sundays in a while. Eric was up and ready for his priesthood meeting. We got to church in a timely fashion. Mackenzie did struggle with Sacrament meeting but she stayed both hours in nursery. All she needed was a momentary diaper change. Our sunbeam class is the best ever! We talked about loving our whole family today and both our little sunbeams had things to say. They also did very well in sharing time. They sang! Of course there was a little fight over who got to site next to Bro. Winslow but with some compromise on my part and shifting of chairs they both were able to sit next to him. I think we are finally getting the hang of this family thing. We still have our ups and downs but I am grateful for all the ups that come along with the downs. Our little girl loves Jesus and church and we do too. I hope it can continue with Hyrum as he becomes apart of this crazy but loving family.

Progress Made

Well I am starting to make some major head way with getting ready for our second child. I am finally winning the cleaning fight and the laundry is starting to look more manageable. We are planning on painting Mackenzie's big girl room this next week and we have ordered her new bed, which will be delivered next Saturday with our new queen size bed. Eric seems to think that with a bigger bed he will be able to have more room to sleep with Mackenzie and soon Hyrum in bed with us. I have doubts. For he is so kind hearted I know he will give up all that room for them and end on the edge of the bed again. The biggest thing is our upstairs bathroom is clean and organized. I did almost cry when I finally went through all of Mackenzie's burp cloths and bibs. I know it is silly, she hasn't used them in months but it finally hit me that the girly pink will have to put away for now.

I am so grateful for the energy I have had to accomplish what I have so far. I hope and pray I can continue to finish all I need to to prepare this family for the addition of one more member.
