Penelope's in Sunbeams

Because we were sick last Sunday was Penelope's first week in sunbeams!  Her leaving nursery is just one milestone of her growing up.  I kept thinking about how big she is getting and it really is crazy how fast it goes.  I heard that she was hesitant during primary and she kinda seemed like she wasn't sure if she liked it or not.  But she didn't cry and after church when I asked her about it she said it was fun and she liked it.  It takes her a little while to warm up sometimes.

Our ward likes to give the new sunbeams their own Book of Mormon and scripture bag.  Penelope was very excited about this because for the past couple of years she has seen Tucker's scriptures and bag around the house.  She is happy to have her own with her name on it.

Penelope's sunbeam class is crazy huge.  I think they have about 12 kids on a regular basis!  That is giant.  When I taught sunbeams there was 5 in my class and it was hard to keep them all in their seats.  Penelope has great teachers and I'm sure it will go well.

Since it was our first week in the  new year we also switched times.  Now we go at 11.  The funny part is that I wasn't really thinking and was planning on church starting at 11:30.  Bob was at a meeting and drove home to pick us up right before 11.  Luckily the kids and I were all ready except I hadn't eaten lunch yet.  Me being pregnant and hungry is not really a good combo, so I brought some mint m&ms and snacked throughout church.
