Thursdays, Natalie and I “stay home”.  This fall, we started attending a play group at church on Thursday mornings.  I guess that I shortened the name of this event to group, and that is just what Natalie has been calling it.  This morning while she was on the changing table, she asked me if we were going to “group”.  I explained that I wanted her to be feeling better and not coughing anymore.  She accepted that answer…I just think it’s kind of funny that she calls her morning at church with other children “group”.

Tonight, Nate and Natalie had some more quality time together.  Nate explained what they’d be doing, and Natalie seemed quite excited.  A special treat for Natalie is when Nate inflates our camping air mattress, sets it up in the middle of the living room, and Natalie gets to go nuts jumping from the couch to the mattress.  She did this fun activity for at least an hour tonight.  I think we started this madness after we came back from our trip to Minnesota this past summer.  She loved the outdoor trampoline that we all had fun jumping on.
