Who is your baby daddy?

Today I had to get Keenan a booster shot. Never mind that he already had this shot and its consecutive boosters when he was 2yrs. And that the school nurse already looked into it with the Health department. But when the state audits, we all listen...I guess. ANYWAYS...I decided to take both kids out of school since the appointment was late in the afternoon and I didn't want to miss elek getting off the bus. To the Health Department we went. Now let me just say I have absolutely no problem with the government programs - they are in place for good reasons and help people when not abused. Our appointment went quickly and smoothly, it is a new building and actually quite nice and set up really well. the boys and I were winding through the back hallways to checkout. As I was checking out elek -ever so helpful, wants me to get all the handout I could possibly need-says, "hey mom, do you want me to give you one of these numbers?" I glance down to a paper hanging from the tall counter-directly eye level for him. It was like watching day time TV. Who's your baby daddy? We do paternal testing! then it has all the phone # tabs at the bottom. Without thinking I say, "We already now who your daddy is-we don't need to test you to find out." The lady behind the desk couldn't contain her laughter! It was quite funny when I thought about it :) I would imagine working at the health department you get all kinds of everything. I'm glad we were able to make her day a little brighter! And I am so thankful for a divine plan to have families. I'm grateful that I don't have to spend my day stressing over who my baby daddies are. I'm so grateful there is only one for all four of my babies! And I'm so grateful that we love each other.

Elek's prayer

Elek said the breakfast prayer. It started out like this:

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this day. Thank you for blessing us to go to sleep last night....At some point....
bless our food....
Amen

Yep, that's right He's thankful that at some point in the evening-after being tuck in bed- that they finally went to sleep. How long did it take? Well, I guess it doesn't matter(which it really doesn't now-just annoying last night) In the end the result was the same: At some point...they went to sleep. And we woke up to start off a new day cheerfully together.
