Busy!

Wow, We have been so busy! Matt just finished fire season, and is just getting back to normal work hours, while I have been gettling longer shifts due to graduation in area schools. Noah is a fairly busy little boy, who gets to start potty training soon! We made a Big Boy Chart, and he gets a gold star sticker everytime he does one of the following: Help, Play Nice, Brush Teeth, Use Manners, Listening, Picking Up Toys, and being Safe. We also have Using the Potty, which if he gets his chart full, I told him I would buy him a Powerwheels 4-wheeler. I think it's a pretty good deal.
Wedding planning is going pretty good so far, there isn't to much to do yet. We are having it down at Matt's parent's farm in Sullivan, and I bought my dress. We pickedup Matt's wedding band yesterday, so we have the rings, the dress, and a spot picked out. For those reading this and don't know, the date is set for June 12, 2010. I'm so excited for it, and our theme! We want to have a forest theme, since Matt is a forester, and we both love the outdoors.( Speaking of which, it was absolutley gorgeous outside today). I'm hoping to get our engagement pictures done soon, but we will have to talk to my cousin Lisa about that....www.sherwoodportraits.com
Everyday has been so good lately, I just can't get over how lucky I am to have the family I do, and the life I live. I coldn't have asked for a better fiance' and father to Noah than Matt, and Noah is the greatest joy I have ever known.
I'm hoping that the potty training buissness goes well and that he will actually poop on the toilet for us. I appreciate suggestions, but letting them run buck naked around the house isn't happening. Our house is rented, and we want to do it slow and steady. I will keep everyone posted on his progress! Time for Noah's bedtime stories though!
