Colby goes to church

Yesterday morning, we were all able to go to church as a family...finally! We have not taken Colby to church up to now for fear he would get sick. Church is a place that everyone goes even when they are sick, so we wanted to be very careful. After talking to our pediatrician and a dear friend that is a pediatrician, though, we decided to try it. Their advice was to just be firm about people touching him. To our surprise, everyone was so respectful of his space!

Colby did pretty well for his first time at church. When we first got there, he was just looking around and smiling at everything! I think it was the songs we were singing...both of our boys love music! He did have a short fussy time, but after taking him out and calming him down, he was fine. We went back in and he went to sleep, so both Jason and I were actually able to listen to the sermon!! It was a very fitting sermon for us, too...it was all about going to God when we need guidance in life's tough situations / decisions. It was a big day for Brody, too, because he went to the "big boy" class (2 year old children's church) instead of the nursery! I think he had a great time!
It was so nice to be back at church after so long! I have missed our church family and worshiping with them regularly!

I love his smile! He looks like such a happy, go-lucky kid, always grinning in the pictures now ;) Glad you went to church, I'm sure that was very good for all of you! Your boys are darling and I so enjoy seeing their cute faces!!! How I love my boys age space, they are the best of friends. You have much to look forward to with them!

No, I don't think that baby ever cries. He always has a smile on his face. Glad to hear that you all were able to go to church together. The boys are so handsome, like their Dad and tender and sweet like their Mother. Great combination. Enjoyed seeing Jason on Monday. Take care and we all love you.
