We had a busy but fun weekend. Maya watched her first marathon on Saturday. The Fargo marathon runs a street over from us and it is always fun to cheer on the thousands of runners. We decided to invite some friends over to watch and have breakfast. Maya took a good nap after everyone left as she was very tired.
Here we are getting our signs finished...
Friends Kristy and Gina (and Maya and myself)
Betty and Maya
Today we officially become members of our church. We had found a church in our community that is not only close to our house but also welcomes our diverse family with open arms. It is amazing how you know the first time you walk in. We absolutely love the people at this church and are so happy to be members. During service all the new members had to come to the front of the church for a small ceremony. Maya took this opportunity to charm the entire congregation. She waved, blew kisses, said hi to the pastors, made faces to the pastors, and clapped at the end when the congregation clapped. Needless to say many people came up to us after church to comment. The church then had a luncheon for us where we got to meet other member's of the church. Julie and Linda - I hope you are pleased that we finally joined a church.
I don't have any photos from church today but let me close with a couple of cute Maya photos that were recently taken one morning. Maya probably won't be please with me for sharing these once she is a teenager. Ha!
