it's been a quick month....

Well, both boys are sleeping (which is an amazing thing!), so I thought I'd update our blog with what's been happening this month....
-Joseph has been sleeping better (although he has a cold right now, so he's not sleeping as good right now), and for the last 3 nights, the boys have slept in the same room! (Although, Joseph usually wakes up screaming at midnight because of his cold, so we bring him to our room-- but it's progress!)
-Matthew started his Mother's Day Out one day a week-- and is doing just great-- I love hearing from his teacher each week how good he does, and that he is well-behaved!
-Matthew is talking more and more-- and last night, he wanted some cookies, and I asked him, "what do you say when you want more cookies?" And he said "cookies, pease" (which is his word for please), and my heart just melted =).
-Brett and I actually had a date night a few weeks ago-- the cheapest date ever! We went and saw "Up" at the dollar movie, used a gift card at on the border, and then got some ice cream-- we had so much fun!
Everyday is a new adventure, but (most days) it's a lot of fun...

little blessings

Every night, we pray for dinner before we start eating. A few weeks ago, we were in a hurry to eat because Brett had to get to a meeting. So, when dinner was served, Matthew wouldn't start eating, and held out his hand-- he knew we were supposed to pray first-- isn't that wonderful!?!? We prayed together, and I silently thanked the Lord for the special moment from Matthew.

One last story--yesterday evening, we were getting ready to go to a concert, and Matthew points up to the table, and says Bible (which was still there from church). And then I had him take the Bible and go tell Daddy-- which he did as well. It's so nice to see all this repetition paying off! =)
