So, tonight Daniel and I went on our first mid-week date night. This is new because Mom and Dad Somerville are now back teaching at the college, and instead of taking Liam on Thursdays, Mom has offered to take BOTH children on Wednesday to give us ALONE time. A mother's dream! Anywho, when D and I came pick up the boys, Mom and L answered the door with a flashlight in hand. All the lights were off. They had been playing Scooby Doo, and she and L were searching for the "bad guys" in the dark. Of course, Everett was there observing in his own quiet way. Mom said he was playing Scappy, Scooby's cousin. And would you believe that before Scooby, they made a carrot cake for Dad S (tomorrow is his b-day) and L helped measure out the ingredients and stir the batter?
I just can't tell you how much joy it gave me to see Liam and Mom playing and knowing they were baking prior. Liam will FOREVER remember the investment made in him as I child, and so will I. I am living vicariously through him. Thank you, Jesus! Thank you for second chances. And thank you for Baba and for my two beautiful sons. To you be the glory.
