This morning was the first Sunday service of our three month deputation tour. We decided it would be best to pass Wiley to Grandpa Ben, who was happy to hold him. Aden, on the other hand, selected a front row seat. Mommy and Daddy were a little nervous and asked him several times to make sure he really wanted to sit front and center. But since that's where Mommy and Daddy were sitting, that's where Aden wanted to stay. We told him repeatedly that we would leave him there while we got up to speak, and he would have to sit quietly . . . but he still wanted to stay on the front row.
So, we got up to speak not knowing if Wiley would catch a glimpse of Mommy and cry out for her, or if Aden would start running around or whining. Wiley was a bit squirmy in Grandpa's arms, but did just fine and was very quiet during the service (especially once Grandpa stood up in the back). Aden stayed on the front row, and never uttered a peep! In fact, he sat and listened to the entire presentation, and gave Daddy a big, supportive grin every time they made eye contact. Of course, we can't expect this from them with every service, but today we watched our well-behaved boys with pride (and awe)!

Just wait until they get old enough to mouth your whole presentation back at you from the front row! :)
Hope you guys are having an awesome H.A., we are praying for you!
