Christmas Church

Last weekend we made it to church (finally!) and it was grand. Abby had a wonderful excuse to wear the Christmas outfit that Grandmama had gotten for her. The kids sat with us through the service and did pretty well (except for the periodic request "to play angry birds, PLEASE daddy!" Her favorite part of the day? Going up and down the stairs afterwards with her pal, Gracie.

I was, of course, just thinking about every persons hand who'd been on that railing and how sick they were. This is what happens after a month straight of someone at our house having snot running down their face and finally getting a reprieve. This is quickly always followed by "take your vitamins!" "where are the probiotics?!" and "eat your brussels sprouts!"

Fordy wished he could be running with them...
