A Moment of Silence, please

I am having a moment of silence right now as I contemplate two near-miracles in our home, on the SAME day, no less!

1. Matthew did NOT work AT ALL... Except for Sundays, I do not know when the last day was that Matthew didn't do work-work, including any vacations we might have had. So, I want to note this here, so that I have a record that this can actually happen.

2. Matthew bought some clothes for himself by himself. This is a FIRST in his lifetime. He has always had a personal shopper--first his mom, and then me. He has NEVER gone into a store, decided he needed clothes, looked for some and actually bought them by himself. And he had FOUR kids with him. Taylor wanted to get a new tie and I suggested that he ask his father to take him. So Matthew took Michael, Taylor, Kristen and Ryan to Kohl's where they bought Taylor a tie and himself some new work clothes.

A banner day for our family!
