....I've been up since 3 am and I'm still smilin'

By 6 AM Saturday morning Jayden, Zachary and I were packed in the SUV and sitting in the Starbucks drive-through. The Tall drip in a Grande cup with 2 equals and Breve enabled me to safely navigate the Los Angeles freeways and arrive in Encinitas in a mere 2 hours.

This weekend adventure with Papa and Mima was planned so that Marty could study (and watch the baseball game, and go to the driving range) in peace and quiet. Something that I know little about; being that in the past 2 years I have spent only 2 nights without at least 1 child nearby. We had a super fantastic time!! Here's the runndown....

Mom, Mona Healy, and I sipped coffee as we discussed an Anne Graham Lotts Bible Study -- the best way to start any day is in The Word...plus coffee.

Zachary took a nap and Jayden went with Papa to the bank and the pet store/vet .She hasn't stopped talking about it : "doggy sick, go hospial".
I finally got to meet 8 week old Isaac Alfred Montgomery and spent a wonderful 2 1/2 hours with him and his Mama, Annie. He has the most amazing blue eyes and a delicious smell. He has developed some awesome leg rolls and so they call him Chunk; I couldn't help but recall that Zachary was his size at birth. This picture paints a thousand words. Jayden will be 2 on the 10th and is often mistaken for a 3 or 4 year old and still Zachary seems to dwarf her --he's 19 pounds, only 5.5 months and I have no clue how tall he is. Whoa.

That evening we attended the Mount of Olives church service so we could witness my brother Andrew (AJ), CPO and the band lead worship. Jayden clapped with joy and praised God throughtout each song and when the worship had ended she exclaimed "Good job Uncle, yea, we did it."
Sunday was our day of leisure -- I think I took a nap, but can't be sure. At 3 am Monday I was up re-packing the car and the 3 of us were home by 6. Just in time to wake Marty up and send him off to work.
