We have really been having a stretch of nice weather. David kept Ian occupied a lot today, so I could work on my sermon for Sunday, which was nice. In the afternoon, we went to Home Depot and the toy store. Then home to start the grill for chicken for dinner. It turned out delicious, with just some barbecue sauce for flavoring. We ate out on the porch and it was very nice to enjoy sound of the birds and the wind in the trees (and the sounds of the neighborhood).

Today I'm grateful for quiet moments. And hugs from Ian.
