bonus

The girls and I got an extra 2 1/2 hours with Papa last night!

All the menfolk are involved in outreach ministries

on Thursday evenings

while the girls and I stay home.

Once upon a time I was involved, too,

but we found it best for me to stay home w/ the littlest one

'til he/she wasn't such a distraction.

The 'littlest ones' kept coming,

and so I haven't done apartment ministry in many years.

I suppose Lex' is big enough now that I could,

but honestly,

I'm not ready to add anything else to my plate.

After a quick phone call

 to determine that his presence wasn't needed,

Tyler decided he was taking the night off 

to be with us girls.

I was happier than I probably should have been at the prospect.

But come on ~ 2 bonus hours with my husband?

How could I not be happy about that?!

I love you, Tyler, and I love being with you.

Thanks for taking the night off
