Plugged in.

Tonight was Jack Everett's first night of Kid's Quest - a kid's Bible Study every Wednesday night from 6:30-8:00 pm. He had alternated moods all week... couldn't wait for Kid's Quest... then didn't want to go. Turns out, he had a blast. He was SO excited. He took his new Bible, got a new t-shirt and tote bag, and can't wait for next week.

Here he is after class in his new Kid's Quest t-shirt.

I wish he would wear this every day... the craft was this yellow foam hat that reads "Obey is the Way!"

Little Brother is along for the ride! Jack helps him "wave to the camera."

I began an 8-week women's Bible study called the "Search for Significance" on Wednesdays while Jack is in class. Davis went into the nursery. Here he is with one of our favorite teachers, who has loved on Jack for years at GracePoint. She enjoyed getting to love on his little brother and I don't think she put him down the whole time I was in class. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Our Great Expectations ministry lists all expectant couples and their new bundles of joy. It was fun to see our special delivery announced to the church family.

It felt great to get plugged back in at GracePoint. It was a bit harried... between napping, packing, dressing, dinner, nursing, checking in, checking out, nursing, crafts, supplies, loading up... it's just a lot for one evening. But, it is definitely worth it.

Seeing my son's excitement to learn about Jesus is what motherhood is really all about.

You will get better at all of the logistics and you will grow to love that time of week. Jack will love it for sure and will be your motivation to NOT miss! I'm glad you are plugged in again! I might join you gals this week.
