weekend events

I'm not sure how our weekends always get to be so crazy...even when we don't plan anything, we always end up with more to do! It makes it hard to remember all the cool stuff the boys learned & did over the weekend. This weekend we had friends over Friday night, visiting friends and a birthday party Saturday, and church Sunday. Add in that we went to Chic-fil-a Saturday morning to let Elias play in the playplace, and the snow we got Sunday morning, the weekend was definitely eventful!

I don't know if I've mentioned how Elias loves for Zach to play the guitar & he sings along. Well, any time Zach heads toward the music closet, Elias is ready to sing & worship Jesus. His favorite song is 'Holy, Holy, Jesus'. We don't know a song that is exactly like that, but that's what he always sings. Sunday morning we were getting ready for church, and Zach went to get his guitar & things out of the closet so we could leave. Elias jumps up and runs over to the closet, arms outstretched, ready to sing. Zach told him we couldn't sing right now, and Elias erupted into tears! So Zach had to pull his guitar out for a few choruses of 'Holy Jesus' before we could go.

We also love to watch concerts on tv. Elias usually stops and starts dancing to the music, but especially if there is worship going on, he'll stop, put his hands up and worship Jesus. Yesterday, he even added a new dance move to his repertoire - and it actually looked like a real move, versus stomping his foot & turning in circles. He is just too cute when he's worshipping Jesus, and it is so sweet to see his young heart so tender toward God.

Jacob is still growing a ton - lately he's decided that he's not going to sleep upstairs in the pack-n-play or the swing. He wants to nap in his room, in his crib. It's amazing how quickly he's growing up. He is such a happy guy - always smiling and laughing for anyone who will pay attention to him. We got some snow here on Sunday, and I was excited because I thought we'd get to take the boys out to play in it. Unfortunately, it started snowing on our way to church, and had all melted away by the time we got home. Today the sun is out, and I have the windows open. Crazy Alabama weather. So, Jacob's first snow came & went, and I'm not sure he noticed it at all!
