outings and weekend plans

Yesterday was a very fun day!! Lily and I went walking at Peaks View Park with Alicia/Andi and Karen/Ella. Karen is Matt's old boss and her little girl, Ella, is 4 months old. We had a really good time and it was such great weather!! The only problem was... none of us thought about the fact until we got there that our little girls would need sunscreen! With it warming up and the sun out, they definitely need it now. So we improvised to somehow cover up their skin while we were walking. Today we went out with Alicia and Andi to Target so I got some baby sunscreen for her. I also scored a really good deal on jeans for Lily for the winter - 3 bucks a pair on clearance! Very proud of my find today.

Matt has an interview this weekend for a youth pastor position in Graham, NC. It is just outside of Burlington. Graham is a small town, but from what I gather Burlington is similar to the size of Lynchburg so that wouldn't be too bad. And Raleigh/Durham and Greensboro are both close too. It's a Baptist church... so we're just gonna have to see how we like it on Sunday. We were really scarred by the whole experience at Big Island Baptist for several reasons so we are now very hesitant about small town baptist churches. But if it's where God wants us, he'll get us there. So we are praying that God would make it clear whether this is for us or not.

We are driving down Saturday morning and coming back after lunch on Sunday. The church is putting us up in a hotel. So this will be our first attempt at staying in a one room hotel with Lily. Guess we'll see how that goes! She goes to bed at 7 so unless we want to go to bed then too (HA!), we'll have to improvise. I have several options in mind, we'll just have to see what works best once we get there.

Lily is really progressing in being able to sit up. She can sit now in a tripod (supported by her hands) for little bits at a time. This morning she probably sat for at least a minute!
