"Amen! We're Done!"

So Daryl left for Amsterdam on Saturday morning, and the one thing that is the most stressful for me while he is gone is going to church.  Emma has really become a great kid during sacrament meeting, but Gabe is another story.  It's usually like a WWF match and usually Daryl takes care of it. Which I am so very appreciative.  Yesterday was a special day because two of the young men who've been such a huge part of our lives  spoke.  One is leaving to Argentina and one was coming home from Argentina.  So I really wanted to listen to their talks.  During Ryan's talk Gabe was pretty good.  But when Ryan said Amen at the end of his talk Gabe yells out (he has no volume control) AMEN! WE'RE DONE! Needless to say most people in the chapel started laughing. 


This comes after three weeks ago when I was wheelchair bound at church, Gabe got away from Daryl and ran up the isle with Daryl trying to reverently speed walk.  Gabe continued up onto the podium and across the choir seats to the other side.  Luckily one of Daryl's deacons was sitting there and stopped Gabe.  Again everyone laughed as Daryl and the delinquent went out the side door.  What can I say we provide entertainment at church.  But we really are working on these things everyday! Oh the joys of parenthood.
