Our Little Preacher

Lyndon preached this Sunday at church. He did an amazing job, but little Mr. Alden stole the show. While Lyndon was preaching, Alden was cooing, gurgling, laughing, and talking up a storm. He was so vocal (not crying at all, just ready to tell a story) I had to take him into the hallway. After I thought he got all his words out, I sneaked back into the back of the church and sat in the back row. Well, he noticed he had a new audience... So, we were off again... Telling everyone around him a story. It was adorable.
After Lyndons sermon was over and we started singing again, I headed back up to our seats. I handed him off to Lyndon and he was chatting away. At the end of church, we had Dime-A-Day, which is a jar for change for our food pantry, missions, and local charities. Each week, a little one gets to hold the jar. Alden got to hold it this week.

There are some dollar bills in that jar. His little smile must have persuaded some folks to add a little more! :) Alden LOVED the center of attention. He was up there while his daddy did the closing and the prayer. It was so cute!
We can never have a "Normal" Sunday morning. :) But, I love it that way!
