Like most parents, they absolutely adore their kids, and believe they have the cutest kids in the world.  So, Joan likes to get the kids cute clothes to wear.  \u201cWe know that our window of them wearing what we want is closing,\u201d says Joan.  \u201cWe are taking advantage of it while we can.\u201d\nSome of the clothes are nice jogging outfits, and others are adorable jeans and tee shirts.  But some are dress outfits that were either hand me downs from friends, or gifts from family members.  \u201cWe never know what to do with the dress up clothes,\u201d says Adam.  \u201cWe don\u2019t do a lot of formal things.\u201d  Joan, however, believed the clothes were too cute not to use.  \u201cI mean, some of these outfits were just adorable.  We had to have the kids wear them.\u201d\nJoan decided the best way to put these outfits on the kids and not be out of place was to start attending church.  \u201cWe had not attended church for years,\u201d said Joan.  \u201cBut this was our opportunity to have the kids looking so cute.\u201d  The Littons plan to continue to attend church until they have either worn all of the nice outfits they have, outgrown them, or when the kids become too difficult to dress up.  \u201cThis is not a long-term thing,\u201d says Joan.  \u201cWe definitely do not plan to continue to go.\u201d]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[104],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3074","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-46","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3074\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
