A day of firsts






Many of you don't know this, but I haven't attended church regularly in quite some time. I'm ashamed to admit that. It's very difficult with my job where I work 50 hours consistently every week and quite often even more than that. I don't mean for that to sound like an excuse, but it's hard to work that much and only get one day off each week. It's even harder to make yourself even get up early on that one day to go anywhere.

I promised my mother that if I ever had a child that I would raise her in church just like she did for me and I'm keeping that promise that I made. T and I want to find a church right around where we live instead of the church where I am a member currently as it's too far away. We visited a nice little Baptist church right up the road today for the first time. It was quite enjoyable and we are planning to visit at least one more before we make a decision. Both of us are committed and understand the importance of raising her in church. I promise, Mom.

After church, we went out for lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Ladybug was starving after looking at all the people and kicking those little legs during the hymns. She is eating so much now! After she ate all of her food, I had to feed her my refried beans to keep her from squealing. (She squeals happily when she's ready for another bite.) Beans are definitely a first for her and she liked them!

It's nap time for Ladybug and chore time for me. Huggles.

Enjoy your Sunday,
Deana

I just love following your blog and seeing the pictures. I went to China in May 08 to get my granddaughter from Hunan. It was a monumental moment and I so love having these babies get such good families. Blessings.
