Sunday Adventures

It was an adventure filled day for Abby this Sunday. In the search for a church home that will be a good fit for us, we tried Algonquin United Methodist today. It was a very different experience. There were maybe 60 people at the service and the average age had to be at least 65. We only saw three children under 12, so the search is still on for a church where Abby can have other children to learn about Jesus with. We were hoping to find a Baptist church home, but after doing a drive by of the Baptist churches, none of them looked big enough on the outside to house to many young families on the inside. We will have to keep checking and may end up trying one of the Baptist churches if we strike out on the next two on our list.

After church, we joined the Mansfield/Claxton families for brunch. Aunt Carol and Uncle Jeff, along with Seth, Luke, Matt, & Mike were up for a graduation on Uncle Jeff's side of the family, so we had the opportunity to tag along with their extended family for a pre-graduation brunch. It was a lot of fun getting to see family - we are certainly going to miss being only 2 hours from most of our family and only 20 or so minutes from Grandma Lorraine and Grandpa Harley.

We took some pictures of Abby this week, now that we are settled in. As you can see, I did finally get the high chair put together so Abby can join us for meals at the table (kind of). Abby wore her fancy pink dress to church and brunch today. She was the show stealer at both events.

Steve starts work bright and early tomorrow morning, so it will be my first experience of a whole day alone with Abigail and Maize. I'm sure we will do just fine since Abby is such a content little gal. We may even try to head to the public library and pick up some reading material. If the weather stays nice there may be some gardening in our plans as well once Steve gets home in the evening. Stay warm - or at least warmer than Sault Ste. Marie :)
