Day 343

Happy Wednesday all!  This week is just flying by and there is so much to do!  Ginger kept us pretty busy today....as expected, but we were able to find some happy moments in the day and enjoy our time as a family.

We started out the morning potty traning both Ginger and Connor.  Connor is being naked potty trained and by about 11 I had pretty much caught cabin fever.  So out to the park, with just a shirt on and nothing else, went Connor, me, and Ginger.  We had fun playing around and Ginger wore herself out!

My parents came over to see Ginger for the first time this afternoon and it was fun to see them meet their newest grand-daughter!  Joel had a fun time telling them about our trip to Utah and all of the fun that he had.

I got to go back to work today, and it was so nice to be back with some of my favorite kiddos.  One kid has come so far, that I am going to be dismissing him at the end of the month.  It makes me sad to see him go, but I am so happy how far his language development has come! 

After work, we left Ginger at home and headed over to Chick-fiil-A for dinner.  Now, the line was about an hour long out the door, and the drive thru was pretty long as well.  Today was support Chick-fil-A day as they have been verbally bashed in the media recently for the head of the company saying that this restaurant is run on biblical values such as traditional marriage and not operating on Sundays.  Well, there were people protesting and boycotting Chick-fil-A after people heard that, twisted it, and turned it into some sort of hateful speech.  So, those of us who support Chick-fil-A and their biblical standards, went there and supported them...us and about a million other people...it was quite a sight!

As we were getting ready to leave the restaurant, David's boss, and owner of his company, walked in with his wife.  David's co-workers also had their wives post on Facebook that they were all going out tonight to Chick fil A as well.  It was fun to see so many people we know there tonight and hear about others going to their nearest restaurant.

To some, this might seem like a weird happy moment, supporting a cause that so many people are against, or think hateful.  But I believe in standing up for what I think is correct and true, and I believe everyone should have a right to their own opinion and not have an OPINION protested.  It was a happy moment for us to stand up and show support for a restaurant that does so so so much GOOD for so many people.

After we came home, Joel and I snuggled on the couch and watched the Olympics for a while as Ginger ran around us and played with her toys.  It was a fun day today and I am hoping to be able to get out a bit more tomorrow with Connor having clothes on....we shall see!  I am so thankful for my little family and all of the blessings that we are enjoying right now!
