Just got the kidlings put down for their Sunday nap. They had a full morning, and a hearty lunch, so they were ready for a sleep. We went to that Oak Park church this morning (just a few blocks from us) just to try it out. I don't think I'd like to leave Meadow Church for this one. It's a great place for John to go to on Wednesday nights, but I prefer Meadow Creek's services. Hanna was a little traumatized about being in the nursery. I think she was held the entire time. John was just fine, and was looking for a cookie when we left. (At his Bible Academy on Wednesday, they usually get a treat). And, they actually did have rice krispie bars on the way out, so John was happy.

Went to Cub Foods then, got some groceries and one of those rotisserie chickens for lunch. As John would say, Yummy Yummy. We had one of those little kiddie grocery carts, built like a car, so they sat in it and steered, etc..

Am currently reading The Fall of Berlin 1945, about the Russian drive on Berlin in 1945. Many terrible things happened, a lot of it because of the terrible things the Germans did in Russia, and so the Russians were getting revenge, but some of it was just plain brutality. There were some interesting anecdotes about how the Russians found these neat, tidy, prosperous German farms in Silesia, Pomerania, Prussia, etc... and the soldiers, knowing how poorly peasant farmers lived in Russia, wondered why Germany ever wanted to invade Russia.
