I am very thankful for all the help that I get at church when I am there without Ryan. I know that I could probably make it through church without all the help that I get, but I have a much easier time with the help I get. After church Ben Cowan, one of our wonderful neighbors, saw that I was struggling with Chris, Max, and the multitude of bags that I need at church and he offered to carry Max in his carseat to our car. And this is not the first time the Cowans have helped me to my car - I love them for their generosity, service, and friendship.

I am also really grateful that Chris likes to sing. I am amazed at how many songs he knows the words to - I guess singing to him every day at naps and at bedtime has actually taught him some songs. That's refreshing to know.
