Seven on Sundays (or this week Monday)!

1.  Short week this week.  I took Monday off to spend an extra day in Michigan.  Breslin flew back with me and was a trooper.  This little man is probably a better traveler than most adults I know!  The best feeling in the world at the end of a flight is fellow passengers telling you how wonderful your child was on the flight!  And in the 12 hours of travel that day not one fit, one tear, or one scream!

2.  Still living off the high of beating Michigan the weekend prior!  MSU had a bye weekend this weekend, so we are still celebrating :)

3.  Michigan State basketball is underway!  The first basketball game of the season was this past Friday.  And MSU won handedly.  We are now getting excited for the big match up this week, Pre Season #1 (UK) against Pre Season #2 (MSU) on Tuesday!

4.  Breslin's newest favorite play thing is the car.  Oh my goodness, this one causes mommy a lot of stress.  Brady let Breslin sit in the front seat once (with the car off of course and the garage door closed).  And he is turning the steering wheel, turning on and off the lights, turning the clickers, and saying "mommy, daddy we're off the the airport."  Super cute, but highly stressful for me.  I know there is no possible way the car can turn on and Breslin's off, but if there is, I don't want it to happen to us!  My biggest fear is the fingers, he is opening and shutting the doors (so we keep a watchful eye and stay close, but boy is it stressful).  Now, when it is time to get out of the car, get ready for tantrum city.... Oh lord, does it seem like the end of the world when we take him out.  But now we have come up with the perfect Christmas gift for him--a toy motorized car... and I am pretty sure Brady already has the model picked out!

5.  This weekend was project clean up the house.  It felt a little like Spring Cleaning, except the fact that we are in the month of November.  The month of October was a super busy one for us, so things like keeping the house clean was not on our list of priorities!  I must admit the house looks much better!

6.  Christina booked her flight out here for Thanksgiving :)  Enough said.

7.  Yesterday I went to church and reception with the Ikonte's.  This was the family of Chibuzo, my student who had a cardiac arrest and was saved by three of our students at Valencia.  A few of us got invited to a service in thanking God for Chibuzo's life being saved and then heading over to their house for a celebration.  Something like this happens in your world and it truly makes you believe in miracles.  I am so thankful that Chibuzo is okay and that we were able to spend that day celebrating, versus any alternative.
