Baptism and Chick Fil A

Sometimes we get to lose an hour of sleep to the time change AND an hour when this little one decides to be awake for awhile. At least we got to see the clock change from 1:59 to 3:00 together.  :) I think the bags under my eyes just keep growing and getting darker. It's a season, and someday I'll sleep more!

This morning we drove up to Nashville to be able to witness the baptism of the daughter of some of our close friends from MD. We've known this Jack and Jess since right about the time we got pregnant with Noelle, so it was special being able to see their sweet girl get baptized. Even though we choose to not baptize our littles as babies, we understand the importance of praying and coming alongside the raising of our children in the Christian community. It takes a village for sure, and I'm thankful that our main village is the church! I couldn't resist snapping a  few quick pictures of our kids in front of a blooming tree as we walked back to the car.

And Jonah's face in this one! Luke says it's a keeper for sure for his graduation or wedding day.

Rewinding to yesterday, Luke was feeling pretty blah from the cold that seems to have wiped us all out over the past few days, so I took the kids to Target for some grocery shopping. There was also an event being put on by the Our Generation doll toy collection. They had little craft kits for each child, and Noelle and Jonah colored a little bookmark to bring home. We've also discovered that Target has a free cookie for kids, so made sure to hit those up.

On Friday, Clara took a TWO HOUR NAP! It was a miracle! Although I'm also thinking it might have to do with the Nyquil I took the night before. It has yet to be repeated, and I did take more Nyquil. Oh sweet girl, you need to learn how to nap! 

Last week Noelle's school had a fundraiser at a Chick Fil A in Franklin so we headed there for dinner once Luke got home from work. The parking lot was packed and we ended up in another parking lot, I was wearing my slippers, and we started off at a two person table. But it was good to see more of the kids from her school, and meet the mom of one of the little girls she talks about all the time. Clara, oh third child that she is, was given bites of a chicken nugget and french fry. I mean she eats healthy most of the time, right? :) There was also a face painter, and Noelle and Jonah were excited to get their faces painted!
