Family Prayer

I have the cutest story to tell you about in the midst of all the bad that has been happening.

And there has been a lot and a lot of bad. (I'm only talking about the sleeping habits, goodness don't freak out! You act as though something really is wrong. Am i missing something?)


Last night we had family prayer in the living room next to the couch. Patrick and I were kneeling and Audrey was sitting on the couch. I had leaned my arms and head on the couch to pray. When i was finished with the prayer Audrey immediately dropped her head to the couch crossed her arms and started baby talking. She said a few things and then lifted her head with the biggest grin on her face.

I know that this sounds funny but we think that Audrey said her first prayer. Obviously she doesn't really understand what a prayer is and was only mimicking what i was doing. (She does that a lot! Grandma Spencer gave Audrey a toy vacuum for christmas or her birthday. I'm not sure the gifts run together around that time of year for obvious reasons. and when every i pull out the vacuum she goes and finds her toy and starts to vacuum the room that i just finished. She also likes to find one of my brushes and brush her hair.)Anyway i detour from the subject at hand. But i believe that is a first step to understanding prayer.

Isn't that just the greatest face?

Anyway i just wanted to share Audrey's first awesome church moment with you. I hope more will follow.
