Sweet Finley Mei

My beautiful and talented friend took some pictures of Finley when she was a month old and again a couple of weeks ago on her blessing day.

Just wanted to share...

Sundays...

What I was reminded of today at Church...

1. Young Mothers and Nursery leaders should be allowed to wear whatever they want to church...okay I know you can wear whatever you want, let me rephrase it should be socially acceptable.

2. Graham really HATES going to nursery and I HATE making him go...so much EFFORT.

3. Finley is joining the club and hates church as well. Really she screams every time someone else holds her besides OJ and I (not just fussy, she SCREAMS). The first few times I thought were just a coincidence but nope she's been pretty consistent. She's giving everyone a complex.

4. Parents of young children should be allowed to be inactive for a few years while their children are young...I swear we'd get a more spiritual message being at home. Oh well, its about being obedient right? right?

5. Make sure your baby isn't holding onto your nursing cover as you attempt to feed her or you might flash everyone on the train. ( you will also make your husband laugh really hard while he sits and watches you and does nothing to help.)

Let's just say Church the past few weeks has been trying for us. Let me give you a visual to help you understand...

Saturday night we try to have everything ready to go, bag packed, breakfast ready for Graham the next morning, clothes ironed...

Church starts at 9 so I get up around 6-6:30 so that we can be ready and out the door about 7:45. (this has proven a little more difficult since Finley has joined our family)

We then take a 5 minute taxi to the train station, ride the train for about 40 minutes, walk to a bus stop and take a 10 minute bus ride that drops us off right in front of the church. So yes, I have just been trying to entertain my 2 year old and baby for an hour and we get to church so Graham can sit still for another hour through Sacrament Meeting. Then we take him sobbing up to Nursery and try to convince him to stay. Sometimes they can get him to stop crying and other times they come to get us. Then we usually stay after for some sort of meeting...

By this time Graham is officially done and is irrational and throwing fits the whole hour long trip home.

Whew! There you have it. Today we got home and just threw him in his crib, he was so tired. We put Finley down and we all had a two hour nap...the best part about Sunday!

What did you learn this Sunday? :)
