Sunday

My little sparkling gem woke up on Sunday not feeling great. Her nose was stuffy and I could tell she was tired. But Jon was already at church, since he was doing music, so I got us both ready and we headed out. Into the service, Katherine who was working downstairs, brought her up to me. She said that Q wasn't playing nice with the other kids and kept hitting and just getting mad. Yikes!! So I let her sit on my lap during the service, and she actually did pretty well. She cuddled into me right away, so I could tell she was tired. She also did this about halfway through. Just a little rest. I was a little mortified that she was brought up from downstairs, but I also know that when she's tired she has a really short fuse (I wonder where that comes from?!). She was quiet during the service, so she stayed with me during the whole thing 

 Bradley and Lisa came to Calvary for church! They are looking for somewhere new to go, because sadly the Baptist church in Lake Cowichan is disinegrating and they are feeling a little lost. They don't want to go to New Life with the rest of the staff/Auxano, so we invited them here. They really liked it, which is awesome! They came for lunch afterwards and told us that they were doing a Survivor pool with Matt and Vanessa. WHAT! We wanted in! They wanted a few more people, so it was perfect! We spent a good chunk of the afternoon watching videos of the new contestants and discussing who we would pick (we are all cool like that). We called Matt and Vanessa on speakerphone and we all made our picks! It was really fun. I love these people. A few silly pics were sent back and forth....

 When Q woke up from her nap, they were still here and right away started to play with her. Her and Brad haven't spent that much time together, so it was nice to see her excited about him and wanting to play. They pulled out the bowling pins and he had Q giggling really hard

 Then she pulled out her "game" and asked "Lee-Ah" to play with her

Lisa that evening posted this to her Instagram... so adorable!!!

 They left in the late afternoon and I facetimed with my mom, like I do most weekends. I took this because I was laughing so hard... my phone AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE was almost dead... but when I told my mom that I had to go because my phone was dying, she started yelling and wouldnt let me hang up, telling me that I was just making excuses to not talk anymore. I am guilty of doing that... she knows me well!! Im just not a huge phone talker, I don't like it that much. FaceTime is a bit better, but my mom knows my tricks. So she was laughing and yelling and I was saying that I actually had to go or else it would just shut off and hang up on her. I took this so that I could show her that I wasn't lying to her this time. Too funny! Love my momma.
