On Sunday we actually made it to church, though I am now certain that for the next 6 months I will not be going anywhere that requires me to wear makeup. The boys were sitting on the floor next to me screaming the whole time I was attempting to apply makeup. So, no makeup Sundays it will be from now on.

I truly appreciate every note, card, comment and word of encouragement! Thank you for sending special little gifts and sweet books to read. Thank you especially for your prayers!!!
