Green Mommy

This is a post about Matthew. Matt-matt just has the funniest way of expressing his thoughts. I just want to share a few of my favorite Matthew-isms...

--------------------------
One Sunday I wore this new outfit to church:

Jeremy and I were in Sunday School and the boys were in Nursery. Matthew had a poopy diaper, so the nursery leader brought Matt over to Jeremy for a change. Jeremy was carrying Matt over to the restroom and Matt-matt says, "I want my green mommy." Ha, so cute...For a few weeks after that, Matthew called me whatever color I was wearing - blue mommy, pink mommy, red mommy...

--------------------------
I had Matthew lying on the changing table. He started coughing and sputtering like crazy. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "I need to...I need to bless you." He had a sneeze stuck in his nose. :-)

--------------------------
Matt-matt woke up one morning with a headache and told us, "My head too tight...head too tight."
A few days later, he was itching his eyes and he told as, "Ah, there's bees in my eyes."

--------------------------
For Halloween the boys dressed up as the Scarecrow and the Tin Man (their little friends were the Lion and Dorothy). When my dad asked Matthew what he was dressed up as, he said, "I'm a scary man, Crapa." lol, too cute. (btw, it's not a typo - my boys call my dad "Crapa".

Transformations

We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Jeremy has about 7 months left of residency! There aren't words to express how excited I am to have this phase of our life over with. Anyway, since Jeremy's almost done, that means we've also been doing some job hunting. A few weeks ago, we made the decision that Jeremy would join a practice here in Dayton. He'll continue working at Miami Valley Hospital and we'll stay here in our little house on Rose Bower Ave. We both feel so good about staying. This opportunity is Jeremy's dream job and we've both grown to love the area. Jeremy says that the only fear he has now is that he won't ever want to leave! Ha! Neither of us ever thought we'd end up settling here in Dayton for a time, but we're excited to see what the Lord has in store for us.

Since the decision to stay was made, we've been doing lots of work around our home. Here is a sneak peak of the transformations we've made so far:
