Sunday Afternoons

long gone is the dread for the slow, uneventful sunday i sometimes felt as a teen. and sometimes is probably an understatement. with our busy schedule (dan's, not mine!) i have begun to cherish sundays. i will admit i STRUGGLE to get to 8:30 church on time, but i love going in the morning-starting the day out right. part of it is that now i try to prepare, listen, and participate so i get much more out of it then we come home and can enjoy the whole rest of the day as a family. granted we have a few extra meeting here and there- choir for me when i happen to go and presidency meetings for dan - but the rest of the day we nap, play, eat and enjoy each other. madison doesn't usually nap at church so she is beyond tired when we got home and that's when she gets goofy. she laughs at everything! we always head over to my in-laws and we visit, eat, play games and then head over to dan's grandparent's house to visit with aunts/uncles/cousins. i am usually exhausted by the end of the day but i love all of it! the above pictures are from a couple weeks ago after church. thank goodness for sundays !!
