I visited a new church this weekend with Madison and McKenzie. We have always loved
St. James Episcopal Church as they sponsor our Parenting Across Color group. We know several members of the church and decided to give it a try on a Sunday. I felt so guilty visiting another church since MCC has been our home for almost 10 years. Our family has grown so much and our needs have changed a lot over the years. St. James has a very strong Christian education program and more diversity than I have seen in a while. The congregation is predominantly black, upper middle class, with both gay and straight in the pews. D-I-V-E-R-S-I-T-Y. Of course, Maddie wanted to know why the service took 2 hours. Welcome to the black church. I loved every minute and am looking forward to going back. There is a children's choir too!
Here are my babies dressed in their Sunday best!
It has been interesting to discover how often we get Morgan to laugh vs. how often Madison and McKenzie get her to laugh. Kim took this video over the weekend of Madison making Morgan laugh sitting in my arms. The same scenario played out this morning with McKenzie, but we didn't get it on film. What a ham!
