Take 2!

Awhile back, before Brody was born, we decided to try Delaney at our church's nursery. Pantano Christian Church has a WONDERFUL children's program and I had no doubts about the care taking of my daughter. I DID, however, have doubts about how SHE would handle it! Turns out, I was right. She loved the class, until they took her on a walk in the buggy.... she decided that she needed a longer ride than what they thought. She cried and cried. Needless to say, we didn't take her back for a long time.

Her first try....

The BUGGY ( this was actually at the Easter service). Looks like a blast, huh?

Fast forward to NOW.... two kids to put in the nursery! I was a wreck, why I don't know. I know that the mom's understand. Eric WAS NOT understanding why I was so nervous, but he appeased me by helping out as much as he could. I took Delaney into the class, and there was Karen, a friend that I have known for awhile now. She is now the "head nursery person" for the 9:00 service. I was relieved. I knew that she would let me know if there was problem. Delaney went into the room without looking back (tear) and I went to take my other baby into another room. Brody was a trooper, I handed him to Karen (yes she came to both rooms) and off we went to church. There I was, sitting with my mom, dad, husband, step-daughter and step-son loaded with TWO pagers (in case the kids were having issues ) and thinking, "Boy, this hour is taking FOREVER". The service was over, no pages! We went to pick up the kids and they did great, Delaney even "colored" a picture.


I am so happy that we can go to church as a family. It has become a routine in our house and we love it....

The question is.... will next Sunday be a repeat?
Let's pray it will be!!!

My big girl.... going to church!

Monkey! He SO doesn't look like he's 51/2 months old!

Eric and Brody at the sign.... before church!

Yay! She did it! Here she is, ready to play!

The Mikkelsons....not our best picture, but it's a memory!
