Sunday Solutions

So for those of you close to us, you know that we have struggled with Sunday afternoons since Stephen took on the youth ministry job in Decatur. At first, it was a real struggle with Will, mainly due to his age and the fact that cold weather approached at the time Stephen started (Sept '09). Then when spring came and Will was a little older, things got easier. Will got to that real fun, easy on-the-go age. But then fall 2010 came, and with it came Julie Beth and cool weather again. Since Julie Beth has been born, Sunday afternoons have been very tiring and very stressful. Will is tired of the church building by the time church is out, but yet, I'm supposed to keep him there another 2.5-3 hours.... and get him to take a decent nap. Just wasn't happening with the addition of Julie Beth. She needed to eat, and he wouldn't nap and would scream. It was just a major headache. So we decided today to try driving separately, and the kids and I leave after church. It worked like a charm. Both kids napped on the way home. We came home and ate. Then we just hung out and played and watched TV until Stephen got home. So I think for now about 3 Sundays a month Stephen and I will both drive to Decatur, and the kids and I come home right after church. Hooray for a Sunday Solution!!
