Sleepy Sundays

Sundays are probably my favorite day of the week.  Generally, it is a day dedicated to family.  Most of the time we go to church and then out to eat with my 90 year old Grandparents. (which lately, it's been at the H&F Cafeteria, home of the famous Carrot & Raisin Salad)  Then we normally go back home and be lazy.  Justin will sometimes be productive, but me, I'm pretty much worthless.  Before we had Karsyn, it was almost a sure bet that I would be curled up on the couch in a Sunday slumber.  Now a days, it's a toss up as to whether or not I'll get my nap in.

This past Sunday was pretty normal for us.  We started out by going to church.  Church starts at 9:55am and is only about a 7 minute drive from our house.  On Sunday mornings, Justin and I put forth a tag team effort when it comes to getting ready.  I get up first with Karsyn, feed her, bathe her (if necessary) and then he gets up.  Once he's up, I hop in the shower and get ready.  Once I'm done, he has the last 20 minutes or so to get ready.  We generally walk in the door as soon as the piano starts playing, just in the nick of time.  Yesterday, we were running about 5 minutes late.  Once we got everyone in the Tahoe, the clock said 9:51...we were definitely late.  We always sit on the second row, on the right hand side of the church with my Pops.  Since we were late, we had already planned to sneak in the back and sit down in one of the back pews, until it was time to share the peace with one another, then we were going to make our way down to the front.  That was it....our plan.  Well...we pulled into the church parking lot at 10am, and low and behold the WHOLE CONGREGATION was outside in the prayer garden!  There went our plan!  There was no sneaking in now. We had been HAD.  It all turned out okay though, we were able to fold in amongst the crowd as they walked in.

Karsyn was an absolute angel at church.  She was giggly and smiley the whole time.  It used to be that she would sleep the whole time, BUT NOT ANYMORE!  Now she wants to sit up and look around.  This is okay, because she is incredibly adorable these days!

My Mom actually cooked lunch yesterday, so no cafeteria, but somehow, we did manage to have carrot and raisin salad!  My sister, Kim had come up from Apex to pick up my nephew Grayson, so she and Kenzie joined us for lunch, along with my parents, grandparents, Jill, Justin and Grayson.  

Karsyn was wide open yesterday afternoon.  She was surrounded by her Aunties, Kim and Jill, who were giving her lots of attention!  I tried to put her down for a nap, but that wasn't happening.  She insisted on sharing her sweet coos  and smiles with everyone.  Luckily, while she was entertaining everyone, I snuck in a quick, well deserved nap!  She did however take a small nap during part of my slumber.  

When we got home, I could tell she was pooped.  Her eyes were so heavy, so we sat down on the couch and within minutes, she was out...
