because he can...........

Candy cane reindeer

I've been making these little reindeer for eons, now. I think I was given one in high school?? It's been so long that I don't remember - I just think they're cute to give out with gifts.

This may be the last can of formula that we will buy for Matthew! It would be great to not have to spend that $25/can anymore.

We also put Matthew's front facing car seat in this weekend. He meets the criteria by height and weight - just not age(should be one year old). We decided to install it a week early since, Lord willing, we'll be heading down to Dallas on Sunday. We didn't want to "break him in" on a four hour trip. We went 40 minutes up the road to Target. He seems to enjoy the novelty of it, so far. We'll see how long that lasts :o)

Yesterday, Mark said that Matthew said "bye" to great grandma on the phone, too. I think he waved to me and said "bye" when I said I was leaving the room and said "bye-bye" to him. I guess I'm skeptical of him saying any of those things purposefully. He does know my name. Last Sunday, when Mark asked MTE where Mommy was, he looked and me, smiled and patted my arm. :o)

Finally!

It took an hour of quietly playing in his crib - but, Matthew finally fell asleep. Who knew you had to work so hard to take a nap - it's worth it!!

Our little candycane!

Such sweetness - most of the time ;o)

Because sometimes I forget...........

Psalm 62:5-8

My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my help is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
On God my salvation and my glory rest; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.
