Places we went: Family Christian, Publix, the Dentist, and a Radio Station for our planning meeting for the big pro-life conference in January.  Over the weekend, Daddy took Little T camping and they had a great time!  Baby and I stayed home and enjoyed a nice, quiet time together:)

Highlights: I am loving watching our boys interact with each other.  Little C just adores his big brother and is constantly watching him, completely fascinated.  It was also exciting to finally be able to start driving both boys by myself.  Little C did not like his carseat a few months ago and would scream the whole time in it, but he does MUCH better in it now so we feel comfortable with me being up in the front.  The final big highlight last week was purchasing $350.00 worth of good homeschool books for $25.00.  I am SO excited about this and can't wait to start reading the books!

Low of the week: I had a weird, painful week:(  I developed a mysterious red rash all up and down my left arm, had a toothache all week, and my knees have been hurting worse than ever.

I watched: Fireproof.  I love that movie!

I am reading: 1000 Gifts

I am looking forward to: Our pro-life meeting next week

To Do this week: plan and prep for meeting, call churches about 40 Days For Life

I am praising God for: A miracle that happened this week!  For the past 4 years, Little T has never wanted to go to bed by himself and would cry and cry every time we tried (he normally just went to bed when I did at 10pm).  This week, we decided we needed to enforce an earlier bed time and that he was just going to have to deal with it (he is normally too scared to be in there by himself).  On our first night, we told him about our plan and as expected, he cried.  But then we reminded him that his little brother was in there sleeping too and he wouldn't be alone.  Little T's attitude completely changed as he realized this, and apparently considers his baby brother to be sufficient company because he stopped crying and actually was completely fine with it.  He snuggled next to brother (who sleeps in a co-sleeper in our bed) and slept the whole night.  And this has been our new routine.  He goes to bed without a problem now!  I think it is SO sweet that just having someone in there, even a baby, is enough to make him happy and somehow feel safer.

I am praying for: Our friends have a newborn baby girl who was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.  The sweet little baby must have open heart surgery, and soon.  She has had her surgery cancelled twice already due to an infection and complications.  We are praying that God would heal her body of the infection and that she would be able to have her much needed surgery as soon as possible.

That's all for last week!  Check back to see what all went on this week:)
