Happy Birthday Daddy!

Sunbeam!
She was not too happy. I sat with her for the opening prayer, scripture, song and talk and then told her I needed to go blow my nose. As I said that she seemed fine but then when I started walking out she tried to follow me and her teacher snatched her up! She was crying and reaching for me and it was the saddest thing especially with Tim’s departure still fresh in our minds. I felt like she probably thought we’d both abandoned her! I work in the nursery so I sent the other nursery leader to go peek in the Primary room for me to make sure she was okay. She said she was sitting on her teacher’s lap and was not crying at all. Whew! I didn’t have to feel like the worst Momma in the world! By the time I picked her up this is what she looked like:
She got an Oreo from her teacher if you couldn’t tell :)
My grandparents work in the library so I took a few pictures of Kate in there after church because she was being so silly! Sunday morning when Kate woke up she looked so much older to me for some reason. Maybe I was just mentally prepping myself for the next step in Kate's life or something. Whatever it was, my baby is growing up :(
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,
To shine for him each day;
In ev'ry way try to please him,
At home, at school, at play.
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
I'll be a sunbeam for him.
We love our little Sunbeam!

Missing Daddy: Day #4
This morning Kate woke up and said, “I got to see Daddy last night!” I just assumed she was talking about when we saw him on the computer screen when we did Skype last night but then she said, “He played with me and we played in the snow!” She must have had a dream about him. It was really sweet and a tender mercy. I’m glad she can still play with him, and that she thinks it’s real. I asked if he held her and she said yes. I asked if he gave her kisses and she said, “not yet!” :)
Today Emi, Reese & Mand came to play. It was wonderful! Kate woke up early and was beyond crabby and mommy was ready for a break! With this yucky weather and our yucky colds we are sort of trapped inside and quarantined from the cousins that live close. Luckily Emi & Reese both have colds so they could come over (and their daddy was getting Lasik surgery today so Grandma had to babysit :)) It was so nice for Kate to have Emi to play with and so nice for me to get to talk to Mand while they played (until she had to leave to drive Koby to & from his surgery :)) The only bad thing was that Kate is still sick and all the running and spinning and dancing made her cough a bunch :( But if you look at these pictures you’ll see it was worth it :)
The “Swan” princesses :)
Doesn’t it look like they’re winding up for their pirouettes in the photo on the right?
Dancing is hard work! Had to take a little break :)
Reese was there, too!
Starting position?
Classic Kate moves right there on the right :)
Is she still following me?
A little snack break!
And, Kate’s signature move, a little booty shake for the finale!
Here’s a little somethin’ somethin’ for your entertainment! AJ wanted to dance, too! Bwahahahaha!
