Fun Fun Fun!

Life has been extremely busy but fun! After being cooped up all winter, I'm definitely enjoying the change. My parents took Kiera for the night the other night and we went to cell group. After cell group (which ended around 10 p.m.), we went to our friends' house to play Bohnanza. We were out 'til after 1 a.m. (I usually go to bed between 11-11:30) and only got to bed at 2:00! I was SO zonked! It was fun to do something out of the ordinary, but I'm such a mom! I can't stay up late like that like I used to when I was 19 years old. Jared, on the other hand, can stay up 'til all hours of the night. My parents had Kiera for the whole day the next day, so Jared + I went and shared a large strawberry smoothie and rented Fireproof! AMAZING movie! Sure, the acting isn't the best compared to other movies, but the storyline is powerful! Parts of it moved me to tears and I was very much impacted by it.

Kiera has been SO much fun lately! We absolutely just love this age! She only slept 10 hours at my parents through the night (she normally sleeps 13 hours) and then had only a 1.5-hour nap (she usually naps anywhere from 2-4 hours) and then we went to a family gathering with her all evening and she was totally happy the whole time, despite being tired! She used to start crying as soon as she got really tired, so it's WONDERFUL to have that stage over with! She still gets cranky or fussy sometimes when she's tired, but for the most part she is a lot easier than she used to be! Praise the Lord!

On a different note, Kiera has something to tell you. :)
