and in other news

this weekend was a pretty full one.  i had a lock in friday night, which i survived without sleep and LOTS of coffee.  it was actually a really good lock in, until we shattered a glass door on the inside of the church!  however, no one was hurt and it was replaced by sunday morning! team awesome ftw! :) 


UPDATE: we also broke a baby gate in the nursery.  best lock in ever.


but because it has been such a week here's some bullet points and a photo. the blog version of three points and a poem.

• ainsley sang along in church. she comes to the 8:30 service when she's in lawrence and during a taize alleluia her eyes lit up and she starting singing loudly - al-le-lu-ia, al-le-lu-ia, alle-LU-ia.  i didn't know she knew the song.  it was pretty amazing.
• j found his wallet - in the pants he was wearing two sunday's ago.
• j asked ainsley why she was crying (after i told her it was bedtime) and she looked him in the face and said 'i was just pretending dad'.  clearly we are knee deep in the twos.  two-much if you ask me.
• unc won a basketball game.
• i came home after the lock-in to find j, maggie, and baby a chasing each other around upstairs and squealing with delight. 
• ainsley pulled her dresser over, after emptying out all the contents.  
• we had dinner as a family 5 times in 7 days (which will probably never happen again)
• ainsley had her first brain freeze.  j gave her some ice cream last night and she ate too much too fast and out of the blue started screaming.  the funniest thing was, she couldn't tell whether to hold her head or put her hands in her mouth. then she's be find and attack the ice cream again, whence another brain freeze would descend.

that's my weekend in a nutshell.  other than the lack of sleep, its been a marvelous one.
