Of Small Group

Two years ago tonight Philip and I were sitting in small group with some dear friends counting contractions quietly to ourselves.  It may have been just about now that we asked our companions to keep us in prayer as I was most likely in labor.  Of course they were excited and the two of us headed home to take a stroll around the backyard to confirm if these contractions (as opposed to the many I'd had before) were, indeed real.  The rest is history - about 10 hours later we saw our beautiful baby girl for the first time. 

What a precious day.

This evening, two years later exactly, we were once again in small group when our beautiful baby girl decided to follow in her mother's footsteps by enrolling herself into Awkward 101 while she oddly stroked the bare back of her fellow (male) play-mate who needed an outfit change.  Apparently she likes her men shirtless. 

As he ran around his dad, Micaiah, arms out, chasing after, we shook our heads (and nearly fell over in laughter).  We definitely did not imagine this scene two years ago.

The innocence dies so fast . . .
