a happy sunday

today was a good day. and we desperately needed a good day. today leah sat through {most of} church with a smile on her face. she snuggled me for most of the first hour. i helped her lead the hymns and she folded her arms for the prayers. we talked about jesus and she listened contently. her attitude was just as bright as her yellow dress. she giggled all the way home and we played on the patio before we took a nap. that was our sunday.

it wasn't our friday or saturday. friday leah screamed a terrible scream from midnight until 5am. and then again at 8. and then again at 11. it was truly horrific. friday and saturday the laytons were a big, messy train wreck. my pillow was soaked and my eyes were puffy. our little one was beyond sad and we could NOT figure out why.

so today we fasted. and so did lots of our friends and family. i can't tell you how much it means to us that so many people would be so selfless as to take a little bit of time {and food} out of their day to send prayers heavenward for our little leah. she is loved by many and for that, we are grateful. hopefully someday soon we'll figure out what is troubling her little body.

until then, we'll try to get through the fridays and saturdays...and really enjoy the sundays. today was a good day.
