Yesterday, we had the missionaries over for dinner last night. They were so great with Chris and they brought their message down to his level, and I was so grateful for that. I know that it is very important for Chris to serve a mission when he is older, and I think that his impressions of missionaries at a young age are very important. So, I am very thankful that these two missionaries took the time to talk with Chris and find out what he likes. It was overall a very enjoyable evening.

Today, I am grateful that Chris has been so agreeable. Ryan left out of town this morning, and this is the first time I've been a lone parent with the kids for any length of time since Max was born. Both Ryan and I have been a little worried about how we would manage, but today went quite well. Mostly, I was worried about bedtime, but I had no need to worry. Max went to sleep earlier than usual which made getting Chris to bed extremely easy. It also helped that Chris didn't fight going to bed one bit. I am so grateful that when I need my kids to go to sleep and behave, they actually do it. I know that I'm getting some divine help.
