Here's something that freaks me out...Isaac will be a year old in three months. WTF?!
The baby has fully embraced rolling as the Best Thing Ever. Dennis reports that he was trying to push himself up on his hands and knees today, but I'm choosing not to believe that. Mostly because the childproofing implications of a crawling Isaac are terrifying.
The big question right now is What To Do About Church. We had planned to take a few weeks to detox after we stopped working at St. Ned's, but that has turned into (checks calendar) four months. I've gone a few times, but nothing steady. Sigh.
Of course, a big part of this is, duh, we have a baby. He's too little to care about going to the kid service, and too squealy for the early, quiet service that we prefer. I don't want to be that mom, the one who is totally clueless that her sweet widdle snuggy wumpkin is interfering with other people's worship. Isaac's awesome, but he's not what people go to Rite I for. The few times I took him when he was less verbal, we got there late to avoid competing with the sermon, and that was about the right amount of time for him to stay mellow, but I hate treating the eucharist like it's a drive-thru. Hi, just here for the food!
The baby stuff is temporary and will work itself out. Then there's the St. Ned's issue. I'm just not as integrated since I stopped working there, and there's some weirdness for us, so maybe we should do a little church shopping and start fresh somewhere else. I don't know. It's complicated. We really miss having a church. We just don't know what to do about it.
I've been poking around online to find other churches to check out (and feeling all too smug about the website I did for St. Ned's because seriously, people, I'm not looking for your Easter service schedule! It's July!) just to see what our options are. I don't feel all that loyal to the Episcopal brand, and I've seen the diocesan sausage get made, if you know what I mean, so trying another church in this diocese isn't all that appealing. Methodist? Lutheran? Presbyterian? Methopresboluthies? Dunno. I'm praying about it, so that's a start at least. Maybe we'll end up back at St. Ned's, maybe we'll find someplace else. God's on it. Which means Sara should stop trying to micro-manage the process...
