Soccer/ Dedication

Yesterday Caleb had another soccer game. It went much better than the previous two. Caleb had been getting into a habit of wanting to walk off the field and sit down. He would say he was "too tired and needed to rest" even though he had only played a few minutes. Last week when we told him it was time to go play his soccer game he said " I don't want to go mommy." When I asked why he said "because it's too boring. They don't let me get the ball." He does have a few older boys on the team now and at this age sharing isn't an option. The coach tries to rotate the kids, but at this age there is no "team" it's all about "i". "I" didn't win because "i" didn't make a goal. Though I still tried to explain how a team works, I also told him if he wanted to make a goal he had to continue to try harder to get the ball. So yesterday he did just that and scored 4 goals. They played a pretty good team too, so it was actually an exciting game.

Today was Lexie's dedication at our new church. Gigi came back to attend as well. She was upstairs with Caleb when he woke up. She asked him if he knew what we were doing at church today and he answered "yeah, we are taking Lexie to church to get her pregnant." After a total shock, my mom quickly corrected Caleb's thought process. I guess "dedication" is a difficult word to remember. Unfortunately Lexie didn't feel so great, she has been fighting a cold the last few days. But it was a great service with wonderful memories. The Scripture we picked to be read for Lexie was Colossians 1:9-10. For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God. We took Gigi out to lunch afterward before she had to head home again.

The rest of the day we took it easy and actually caught up on much needed rest. Poor Lexie tried to fight off a fever the rest of the day. She finally settled into a comfortable sleep around 9:30pm with the help of Tylenol. I hope tomorrow is a better day for her. Daddy is going to keep her in the morning until I can get home. Thank goodness for half day Mondays.
