We're The Battens: Sunday Pancake Breakfast & Sunday's Best!

Hi Everyone!

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend despite all of our dreary rainy weather.
I'll be happy to see the sun shine again!
We didn't do much this weekend BUT I did manage to snap a few pictures of our sweet little girl!
We decided to have pancakes for breakfast yesterday before we went to church...they were very good! It was a nice change to have a special breakfast, since we have been eating cereal or yogurt each morning. Caroline LOVED it! She even had her very own miniature size pancake just for her...I think that's what she liked best about it! She did manage to share with her doggie Mattie as always....she's such a nice little sharer. I think this is why Mattie is OK with Caroline pulling on her tail etc...I guess she figures in order to get some food, she has to take the good with the bad! ;~)

After breakfast we went to church and Caroline went to the church nursery. She got upset when we first left BUT after the nice ladies in the nursery distracted her with a slide in the room, she was OK.

The message series has been about "40 days of Love - Learning to Love Like Jesus." The last two Sundays have been messages that have definitely been directed to us. We NEED to take these messages to heart.

We made it through the whole service without our pager going off...yes, Caroline made it. Not only did she make it through, one of the ladies that is in the nursery from week to week, even said that it was Caroline's best time yet! Yeah...maybe she is finally able to enjoy playing with the others and now knows that Mommy and Daddy will be back to get her at the end of the service. I'm so proud of her...she's Mommy's big girl!

Take a look at our sweet little girl in her pretty Sunday dress...there's no baby here...she's our toddling girl who is now by the way practicing the word "NO" very well. I think she is finally realizing that she is her own person with her own prerogative...here we go!!

Love,
Caroline's Mommy

OHHH...my very own pancake!!
