Playing in the Rain

Last night was the last night for our Life Group to get together before taking a break for the summer. We wanted everyone to hang out a little longer so we started earlier than usual. This meant instead of the usual 45 minutes I have to keep Audrey Claire occupied and quiet, I had almost 3 hours. So long story short we ended up outside. And I may have let her play in the rain. And she kinda loved it:) She got so dirty but she was occupied and happy. And we all know a happy child is a happy momma!

I know the quality of this picture isn't great but I was clicking quick since it was raining. This is her "mean face".

Life Group Time

Yesterday was Sunday which means time for our life group to get together. We are really enjoying getting to know these students more! Our group even grew by two this week which included a girl from Tupelo whose brother I went to Delta State with. It's such a small world.

I managed to snap a quick picture of what kept Audrey Claire occupied this time. A bowl full of candy! She would dump all the candy out then put it back one piece at a time. I am so thankful for little things like this that can keep her occupied. Even if it is just a few minutes!

Life Group

Seth and I were asked to lead a Life Group for the college ministry at church. Basically, it's a small group of college students that come together once a week for fellowship and Bible study. This past Sunday night was our first "get-together" at our house. I was really worried that Audrey Claire would be a distraction. Also, bedtime would come while people were still here and she has trouble going to bed when people are over. Much to my surprise, soon after we started our discussion, I looked over at her and this is how I found her-

She was trying to go to sleep right there in the living room with us talking and all! I let her lay there for about ten minutes because I really thought she would go to sleep. But she didn't so I picked her up and put her in her bed and she went right to sleep. I was so proud of her and hope she does this every week!
