A beautiful day

This past Sunday Devyn was baptized.  It was a beautiful day.  It was beautiful because of spending the day celebrating and because the weather was equally as beautiful.  We celebrated with our families as Devyn was welcommed into our church.  All 4 kids cooperated wonderfully and we stood up front as a family.  It was wonderful.  It was a busy weekend though and I was glad to have it finally here and just enjoy it. 

We also had family pictures.  We did pictures with Nate's whole family.  Quite a production!  It was a little chilly and the kids weren't exactly thrilled to be taking pictures.  All in all it went well and we got some great shots. 

Today Nate had an unexpected day off.  It is far to perfect to be in the house.  So, we packed up the kids and went to the park.  It is so awesome to finally be able to do things like this!  The boys are finally at an age where we can go to a park.  So fantastic.  My heart felt so full watching Nate help the boys up onto the equipment so they could fly down the slide and squeal with delight.  I was thinking how blessed we are to have kids who can play on the equipment and enjoy the day outside.  I was feeling blessed because while I sat on a bench feeding Devyn Nate was playing with the boys.  It was such a great day.  I decided that I need to refocus on what is really important in life.  The laundry will always be there, the toys don't need to be cleaned up and other household chores just aren't that important.  They will be little for such a short time and I just don't want to be so busy with life that I miss the fun.  It's pretty much been the perfect day to enjoy the craziness that is our life.  I even took a short nap and took Devyn for a walk while the boys slept (she's not much of a napper).  I hear them waking up now and I can't wait to get back outside and enjoy this great day.  See you tomorrow chores, today I'm off the clock!!

Here's a pic from our photo shoot this weekend!  The photographer also photographed us when we got engaged (7 years ago!!) and our wedding 6 years ago.
