We had slow breakfasts, made short trips to the store, tried to finish the 47 thousand projects I began during the week, saw friends and family, played outside in winter coats, and just generally enjoyed being together. I love all the fun that fills the busy holiday season, but we needed this calm "just us" family time before it all begins.
Saturday morning we went to see the (model) trains. They are still being set up for Christmas at our local science museum, but there was more than enough to excite the boys. Walker* in particular. He could have taught those engineers a few things if they could have let him help. *He has a (more than) slight obsession with all things locomotive.
Tiny little towns that can be controlled with the push of a toddler's finger. Yes, please.
So much joy over the little things (literally).
They spent a couple of hours running from one display to the next and then back again. We ate a fantastic (if I do say so myself) sack lunch as a family, checked on the giant eel and the sad looking jelly fish, took one more lap around the trains then then headed home for a rest.
We spent Sunday morning diving into James at church. Sunday was also Orphan Sunday. I spent time praying for the orphans of the world and praying for obedience in serving them. Love has a great post up on ways we can be "doers of the word" here.

For the hard time we give dad, you are not helping with this train addiction problem :).
