Lost and Found in Primary

We had quite the adventure yesterday, and since it's in the past, it's ok to laugh about it now. It definitely wasn't ok yesterday, lol.

After church, Josh and I had temple recommend interviews. So while I was waiting for my turn, Josh went down to the library to check out the stash of old manuals they were getting rid of. Isabel and Becca went down to the bathroom, which was right by daddy. When Isabel came back without Rebecca, I asked where she was. "She's with Daddy" I was content with that answer. After my interview, I came out and Josh was in the foyer with just Joshy, no Becca. I come to find out that he never had Rebecca! Isabel had left her in the bathroom by herself. So while Josh went in for his interview, Isabel and I start to scour the building looking for Becca. After two rounds of the building inside, I took two frantic walks around the outside. No sign of her anywhere! I was getting really frantic. Since this is a new ward to us, and it was the other ward in session at that point anyways, nobody would see her and know who she belonged to.

Once Josh came out, I took the car and drove down every street around the building to see if she had walked off thinking she had been left or something. Meanwhile, Josh is running around the building looking for her. Thank heavens he found her! As it turns out, she wanted to go back to primary. so she had walked into the primary room, the other ward's primary was just starting, and sat on the Sunbeam row! They asked if she was a visitor, and she said yes. They sang her a song, she had apparently answered questions in sharing time, and had gone to class afterwards! So where Josh finally found her was in a classroom with the other ward's sunbeam class.

After she saw how frantic I was, she decided that she was scared too, but she was really fine the whole time, just having fun in Primary. After we got home, she told me, "Mom, I should have told you I wanted to go to Primary." No kidding...

Ahhhh.... cute kids.... but rascals

We decided that we want to put big pictures of each of our kids on our livingroom wall instead of the collage of small pics that I had done up a year ago in the old house. I think it's mostly because I had them all printed in black and white (which I loved and Josh hated) We didn't really want to go get professional ones done, but have some from our own back yard which is our favorite place in the whole world right now. So I took some pics and I'm trying to decide if I like them enough to use these or to take more another day and try again.

Joshy is just the little picture man, camera comes out and he's grinning ear to ear saying "Cheeth" Becca will smile but doesn't hold still (notice the strange postures) and it's hard to get her to smile and still be able to see her eyes. And I wish Isabel wasn't wearing black, so I think that one will definitely be retaken.
