Little Blessings Sunday

4 Comments

Photo-A-Day #2942

Today was the annual Little Blessings Sunday event. It is a nice event for the kids at Eva’s School. They learn a few songs with lyrics and hand motions that they perform at Sunday service at the church where she goes to school. We make sure to go so that she can participate. It makes for a bad sleep day for me but is so worth it to be there to see her. She does such a great job on the stage.

Have I mentioned that she needs a theater program? Already? This week? Yep!

My sister, Shelby, was able to come and see Eva do her songs. Afterwards there was a little gathering with snacks and Eva got to spend a little time with Shelby while we chased Andrew around the place.

The title of this post also refers to my sister having a baby and Eva going to have a new little cousin in a few months. We’ve already worked the baby into our nightly prayers and the baby is referred to as “… and my new baby cousin”. Eva already has a lot of love for her new baby cousin and loves getting a chance to see Auntie Shelby. So she’s going to be even more excited when she gets to see Auntie Shelby and her new baby cousin when that new baby cousin is born.

I got home this morning to find that my Wii U was ready to perform an update. I’ve been playing with it for months now and haven’t seen an update for a while but this is a major update and it adds a bunch of new features and sets up some other features that are coming soon. I’m excited for the virtual console games that can be played on the gamepad. For nostalgia’s sake I’d enjoy playing excite bike, Metroid and Ice Climber once again. While I do still have those actual games in a box somewhere along with my NES, which I’m saving so that I can torture my kids some day and show them what I had to play as a child as opposed to the amazing games they will have available to play. We played with dots and blocks and liked it! Here’s more info on the update.
