Mutual Night

Wednesday nights are mutual nights. It's nice to have a mid-week break for some adult/teenager communication. It's nice to leave the house and kids in whatever stage they're at (dinner, bedtimes, or whatever), and know that Dave is taking great care of them. I know it's stressful for him to quit working so early, especially as they're working through this market crunch we're having, but it's good for him to have time with the kids. They love seeing him, for sure. Tonight, when Dave got home, Naomi let out the cutest little squeal of delight when she saw him. She loves her Daddy! Christopher loves being able to play video games with his Daddy. He loves doing anything that Dave is.
We made some freezer dinners for one of the YW leaders tonight. She had her baby at 27 weeks, and is getting ready to bring him home from the hospital (he's 34 weeks now). So, we're making dinners for her to have a chance to breathe with everything that it will mean to have a preemie home. Each class (beehives, mia maids and laurels) made a different meal. We did homemade mac and cheese. It was easy with everyone helping together, and a lot of fun to just stand around and chat. It was a good chance for me to get to know some of the girls a little better. We currently only have 2 active Mia Maids, so I think I'll be able to do a lot personal things with them. I'm excited to get into this calling. Well, it's back to working on the database for me.
