Day 27!

I'm feeling the need to do a recap here! But I won't. Not today anyway.

We all went to church this morning. Emily goes most weeks, and brings the kids; I go occasionally. Not much during football season, a little more this time of year.

So we bring crayons and paper for the kids, and they color and draw and we try to keep them relatively still in the pews during the opening words. Today Kate was in her dancing around mood, which meant she walked up and down the pew, from Grandma to Emily to me and back again. Jack contentedly draws pictures, all the more elaborate each time. Once he drew a picture of him in the backyard on their little swingset. Kind of cute.

Then they go down to Sunday School, which for Kate mean playing in what I take to be the daycare area and for Jack means various activities, sometimes coloring picture stories involving Biblical figures, sometimes making crafts of some sort, and today making some really tasty pretzels. When church was over, we went down and collected him, and while we waited, the teacher had some great things to say about him. How he's very bright, and nice to all the other kids. Helpful and kind. It's been a good week for hearing people say nice things about Jack.

Then we all snacked on pretzels and headed home.
