Weekend Update
We had a great weekend. Friday night we had artichokes and lobsters with my parents for New Years Eve. We played Catch Phrase and sipped on port. The kids got an old wooden rocking horse from the thrift store that they were going crazy on. Saturday was a great day for me. I skipped going to the Outback Bowl (Go Dawgs!) in favor of working on some jobs at the house. Here are some things I got done:
Put up quarter-round molding, put down laminate flooring in hallway, cut the grass, put down fertilizer, filled up pool, trimmed palm tree, built extra shelf for my new books, cleaned out laundry room, took down christmas lights. We even got to watch a little bit of Star Wars after the kids were in bed. Which brings me to my next story.
After we put on Star Wars Asher started crying and kept at it for 5-10 minutes. So I went in the see if he was OK. He seemed to be pulling on his ears so I brought him in with Lindsay and I. Lily heard him crying and going into our room, so she starts crying at her door. After a few minutes of seeing Asher excited to be playing in our bed, and realizing it had all been a sneaky ploy, I begin taking him back to his room. Lily is crying hysterically by this time, so I make a detour into our room where I explain that Asher is going back to his own bed, and she's not missing out on anything. I had to leave her door open to keep her from flipping out, and then I put Asher to sleep and returned to Luke and "The New Hope." About 10 minutes later I hear a suspicious thump, so I get up to check on the kids and what do I see but two guilty eyes peering around our door. Lily had been hiding outside our door for who knows how long. It reminded me so much of my own childhood, spent hiding behind the sofa at night, that I couldn't help laughing. I picked her up to give a kiss to her mommy and go to bed and she put on the saddest puppy face I have ever seen in my life. Needless to see we let her stay in bed with us awhile and watch Star Wars (which she loves to say "Yucky...bugs!")
Our Sabbath day was a nice time of worship and rest. Lindsay and I took off during nap time (kids at grandparent's) to go to Starbucks and discuss our plans for the year. It was a good time to establish goals for our family for the coming year. In the evening I read to Lily from "The Complete Collection of Father Brown." I think it was a bit over her head, but I secretly read it for myself. Than you O merciful and giving Lord, for a wonderful weekend that I tried to enjoy as much as is humanly possible. Help me to glorify you in all that I do.

My son just got the Father Brown Omnibus from the library and is enjoying it greatly. He said that he still prefers Sherlock Holmes, though. Praise God for the many pleasures he has given to us!
