Back to our routine :)

Back home....

We went to Bible study/school this morning. At first Maya was crying, "I don't WANT to go to Bible school, Mommy." But by the time we got in the car, with Puppy-pack of course, she was saying, "Hurry Mommy, I want to go to Bible school." Ahhhhh, the whims of a two year old! Well, you had BIG fun, Maya - hearing stories of Noah, sitting on a rug, snacking on cookies and water - all good. When I registered us for bible study, there was a space for "Special Instructions" on the child registration that was for allergies, potty training instructions, etc. I wrote, "just love her". It's still hard for me to leave you, darling girl. No one can love you in the way that I love you, but I want everyone to care for you, my precious angel.

Mommy had her first small group session and I enjoyed it very much. I'm looking forward to more. My scripture for the week is Luke 1:37, "Nothing is impossible, with God." So true.....

Maya, I hope to make a photo-book from this blog and when you read it someday, know that you are treasured and cherished. You have made my life so rich and full. As Mary asked of God to "expand her imagination", you have expanded my life and filled my heart in ways I didn't even know I could experience.

We were walking through the library today and I remembered dreaming of a day like this a few years ago. I asked myself, "is it everything I thought it would be - to be a mom?" It is everything I dreamed and so, so much more. You are such a complex, beautiful creature of God, Maya. I am in awe of the wonder of you, everyday.

I needed to get some Dolly Parton music to use in the photo montage of our vacation and you needed TWO Charlie and Lola books. After the library, we went to Ronald Donald's, where you ate a hamburger today ! Usually you are a chicken nugget girl, but not today ! Then on to the playground. Such a full day for us. We were both asleep for a long, long nap by three o'clock.
