What a Sunday

We have the incredible ability to watch out church online at home if we choose. The only time I have done this when I was actually at home was when I was at home with Strep and my family went to church without me.

This morning we woke up to a raging thunderstorm and decided we would just shut in for the morning and watch church online. Well, I guess we learned our lesson because we had technical problems and missed the service. What a bummer. We were able to spend time together as a family, Cori and I got to take a nap, and Justin worked on the swing-set more.

It is really amazing to see the change in our backyard every day. What was once an empty space is now filling with a structure that will cause countless moments of joy. And those moments have already started. I got some good pictures last night of Cori getting to use her slide for the first time. She was so pleased. She turned to Justin and said, "Thank you Daddy!" It may or may not have been prompted but it was truly genuine. I have to get the camera software loaded onto my computer before I can post some pictures, but when I do, I will update the post.

Oh and the best part about this weekend, is that Cori started eating again. She had gone weeks only eating breakfast food.

And, I made the best food Saturday night. Chili-lime chicken with roasted squash, zucchini, red and vadalia onions, potato salad, and french bread. The first two items on the list were home made and the last two were store bought. I am getting much more brave with my cooking. I even toasted coconut for my easy coconut cream pie. My meal really impressed Justin and my sister. It made me feel good.

Now Cori and I are watching Aladdin. It is pretty scary in the beginning. Cori thinks the genie is funny tho. Gotta figure out dinner now.
