Last Night

When Levi talks about something that happened in the past, he says "last night". For example, Levi says things like "last night we went to the cottage" (it was last summer) or "last night we played outside" (it was today, before lunch). My favorite is "remember, last night, when I stayed at Grandpa and Grandma's house and we went to the hospital to visit Mommy and Daddy and Reuben?" Oh yes, I remember - that was about 4 months ago...right around the last time I really updated this blog!

So, as Levi would say, here's are some highlights of what we did "last night":
  • Reuben joined our family (Nov. 8)
  • Matt was laid off from his job (Nov. 13)
  • Thanksgiving day with O's family - especially thankful for family, friends and God's faithfulness!
  • Matt turned another year older (Dec. 12)
  • Snow, snow and more snow - welcome news since Matt took a job snowplowing!
  • 1st Christmas as a family of four
  • Happy New Year - wondering and optimistic about what God has in store for 2009
  • Levi's 1st "date" - Bob the Builder LIVE with Mommy (Jan. 13)
  • Reuben was baptized (Jan. 18)
  • Levi turned 3 (Feb. 2)
  • Reuben started smiling, laughing, cooing and rolling over (back to tummy) - in that order, but not all at the same time
  • Matt found plenty to keep him busy with the "honey-do list" as well as construction projects for family and friends
  • MOPS, church council/deacons, tax season, and two little boys (plus one big boy) keep Mommy busy (perhaps that's why there were no blog updates for 4 months??)
  • Levi started potty training (Mar. 3)
  • Matt accepted a new job and his first day was today (Mar. 18)!

It's been an interesting few months around here -- full of adjustments, to say the least!

I love your blog, Olivia, and I'm glad you've found time to do it! That must mean that things are settling down a bit, since Reuben's arrival. Love to all, Linda

Hi Olivia, I had to laugh at your "last night" post. That's exactly what Nathan does! How is potty training going? Well, I hope. Glad to hear that Matt got a job. Where at? Is it going well? Rueben sure is a cutie. It was fun to see pics. We're getting ready to welcome our little one in 3-4 weeks here. Hope all is well!
