Looking Up

Things are looking up around here. We had an excellent weekend. Everybody is well. We're still having a few teething and napping issues, but the spring forward did wonders for us today. I'm hoping it springs us back to normal.

Some friends and their two girls came over for dinner last night. We had such a great time that this is the only picture I have. I'm not sure how many other appropriate photos I could have gotten. The older girls played dress up but spent much of the time in little more than their underwear. Grady got in there though at the end, and put on the Cinderella dress and high heels. And Mary Aplin made us smile the entire night, despite Grady insisting on calling her a "he". She wasn't the least bit discouraged by it.

There isn't much as refueling and refreshing as good food and fellowship with other believers. We were so refreshed that we skipped church today and put together bunk beds for Elle and Grady. You never know how those kind of things are going to work out within a married couple. Hanging pictures, driving somewhere new, putting furniture together. If you complete these tasks and are still speaking to one another, then I'd say chances are pretty good for your future together. Steven is the "visual" one and wants to just look at the wall and put the nail where he "thinks" it should go. I like to read the directions at least twice and measure everything, twice. Today, the bunk beds came together without a hitch. Without one argument. We just might make it after all!
