Is it bad that I sincerely thought I had already done this blog post?  I had to review my previous posts several times because I was THAT SURE that I had done it!   I guess I was just dreaming that I did it!?  I don’t know how this fell through the cracks but apparently it did!  Sorry Drew 😉

 

Last Sunday, this sweet third grader received his Bible at church!  Albeit a very busy and stressful morning, we made it…and we were actually early!  So early, that we shoved him into a Sunday school class that we thought was his 3rd grade Bible orientation but it really was the end of a different class.  oops!  A lot of confusion and eclectic outfits in the Conley Crew this morning.  I had cleaned and pressed an adorable plaid shirt and slacks for Drew and they were hanging ready in my room.  As we were walking out the door I noticed Drew did not have that nice outfit on at all!!  What in the world is going on?  I was so prepared and ready but I apparently didn’t tell Drew about the outfit so he just got up and put on his normal church clothes that he likes to wear (way too often, I might add) and with flip flops!  We were out of time and I was proud of him for trying his best to look nice on his own so I just let it go.  Reece had on a spring dress, sparkly gold shoes, and decided to pair that with a Christmas winter dress coat with fur collar.  She has her own style for sure, but this was over the top for me.  If a family pic had been taken it would have definitely made the bottom of the list for a Christmas card!  Jake was frantically going from a basketball tourney game to a soccer tourney game in opposite ends of the city while we were trying to scrounge up a ride for him so that we didn’t miss the Bible ceremony.  A lot went on in a short amount of time I’m telling you!

Drewy, this is a very special day and we know you will treasure your Bible.  I still have mine somewhere and Jake and Morgan have theirs too.  Your spiritual life is yours to explore and may you be blessed always!

 

You were so cute looking up the scriptures and trying to follow along with the church service!

 

This is Reece much later in the day STILL in that crazy outfit and now adding in a pair of Winter wedge boots!  even worse!  I’m not a fashionista by any means but it is Spring, so we may need to pack away the wool dress coat and furry boots!
