Rock…. Steady

January 27, 2008

Three weeks now… Today was a big step. We decided to join our brothers and sisters back at our local fellowship of believers – you know, that place that we once called “church.” Oh, how we have missed being there. We’ve missed our brothers and sisters. It was so good to be with them again. I’d rate the experience as overall “good.” There was a little excitement over the seating arrangement and an impromptu bathroom break, but these event were overcome and we were able to successfully complete the service and actually pay attention to most of it. How refreshing.

After the worship service we opted out of the lunch plans due to the venue. I had taken her to this particular restaurant (of which I am personally fond) and was stiff-armed with a great big “FOO!” So in an effort to avoid any further conflict we decided on a pizza place and it turned out pretty good.

We continue to limit exposure to media outlets like TV and computer and it seems to have been accepted – not only by our new daughter, but also by our bio kids. This has been a nice change of pace, but at first it required a lot of “filler” activities. The kids have begun to fill their own time now with more beneficial activities like reading or helping out with housework – novel idea, huh?

So overall we’re entering into a stable pace of life. All is not yet back to normal and frankly we don’t ever expect that it will be again. But hey, what is normal anyway?


Blessings,
