As a wife of a resident (Doctor in training) I often spend my Sundays going to church alone the boys. Over the past 4 years we've lived in Memphis my husband has probably attended church with us only half of the time, maybe even less. It's something that I have never gotten used to and I look forward to the day that he no longer has to work on Sundays. It just makes me so happy when we can actually all go together. It brings our family closer and I treasure those moments and conversations we have while taking the scenic route to church. It's also nice to get help with Liam too. He can be very clinging at church (until he goes to nursery) and back when it was just me and him it was nothing for me to hold him or have him sit on my lap but now that Luke is here it's just impossible to do. I used to struggle bringing in the car seat, carrying the diaper bag and Liam's hand but now I just wheel in my double stroller (which nobody else does). It actually took a burden off my shoulders, physically and mentally and now I am able to mount the boys and all my stuff without feeling overwhelmed. Counting down the months (4 to go) when Single Mom Sundays are behind me.
Just me and the boys (Luke is behind me)
This Sunday was a special conference at a different chapel so we got see the temple
