Daddy had to do a bit of work (somebody's got to set things up for Sunday), but we did start out late today, after a bit of intensive Disney Infinity game time with Madison. The weather is still cold, but at least the sun is out. It's really a standard winter day, minus the clouds and rain. Those come tomorrow, unfortunately. The forecast for the weekend is once again rain. This is okay, as we'll probably spend the lot of it indoors, with - you guessed it - more Disney Infinity. It is a little overboard, but it is time to play with our Christmas toys!
While Daddy was at work, Madison was busy coloring, reading or using her Leapster Explorer, for which she got a great new cooking game. This game teaches math, as you have to have proper measurements for everything - and of course it teaches cooking tips as well. Madison randomly quotes math figures to us - this morning, she announced that four hundred plus two hundred is six hundred. And there was thunderous applause.
Tonight, we went to Life Center. This is a church in Dunwoody that has services on Friday nights. This has been something missing from the equation as of late - those who do ministering need to have ministry as well, right? We brought Madison along, as well as an additional friend. It's about a thirty-three mile drive, so it wasn't so bad - just a straight shot down 400. It was good to be in service with the family. It felt a little strange, like this was our first service together or something. In fact, it may have been the first service together since that Christmas Eve service in 2008. This would be the first time the three of us sat together for service, and Madison did just fine.
There was a second portion of the service that ran a little later, but we'll have to moderate that for the future. But this may be a regular destination for us on Friday nights. It feels a little like cheating, going to another church - but it's kind of fun to slip into the back and become one of the congregation again, rather than the one responsible for this, that or the other. The blessings of being anonymous!
Again, Madison did well too. It'll be great to expose her to the family doing the regular church thing, rather than the PK routine each week. Not that she's spoiled in any way at church - so far, she's been humble, shy and not at all demanding of anyone. She's got a Daddy that works there, but doesn't act like that!
So tonight may be the start of something bigger. Someone spoke something over Madison tonight, a message over the three of us - we'll probably share that later for posterity. It was good to be at church tonight.
