We all went to Honey's volleyball tournament this weekend - it was a two-dayer (Fri. & Sat.) so we got a motel room and stayed in Salt Lake. I was a little surprised that Mr. Charming went because his back has really been bothering him and he really doesn't like sitting for a long time anyway. I think we're both realizing that the kids won't be kids forever and we are enjoying "being in the moment" with them. We went shopping at the mall for a bit afterwards and while Honey looked for volleyball shoes with her dad, I took Sugar to some of the stores she likes. She'd had a pretty long time of hanging out watching her sister for two days and I wanted to give her a little fun too. We ended up going to Build a Bear because I had some credit at the store. I hadn't planned on letting her get a new animal but I didn't want the credit to expire and the look in her eye was too hard to say no to. There is something quite magical about the experience. Part of the magic is just that I know it won't be much longer that we'll have kids who want to get a new stuffed teddy bear. Got to enjoy it while it lasts! The tournament went well, the shopping was fun, and we got home late Sat. night.
In church, Mr. Charming and I are in the marriage relations Sunday school class and it has been a really nice thing. The teachers are quite interesting and good. Today they had us do an assignment (not to turn in but to share privately with our spouses later) in which we wrote the strengths that we felt our spouses have and that we, ourselves, have. We shared our lists later at home with each other and it was a really neat experience. Mr. Charming said some things that I didn't know he thought or noticed and it really touched me. I'm grateful to be married to someone that values our family so much and is so supportive of me and our kids.
