It's September 29th.

That means that Matt woke up to these and 2 homemade birthday cards this morning..but then Sofie promptly took hers back.  And kind of ate it.    

That means that Matt took a long nap this afternoon, ordered a bunch of boring  exciting humungous  action-packed might as well be in Latin theology books with his birthday money, and mentioned that despite being 29, he still feels like he's 22.  

That means (as selfish as this is) that I can't help but think about how I'M getting older, and how much I DON'T feel like I'm still 22.

That means that dear Belo's four year engagement is finished, and that we had the pleasure of seeing his signature BEAM from the front of the church today.  It was a beautiful wedding and so thrilling to see Belony and Angeline so excited about becoming one and facing the future together.

That means that school starts in less than 2 days, and Mommy is clinging hard not only to the common Haitian saying, "God Knows", but also to Luke 12, Matthew 6...God Knows AND Cares.  

That also means that we're dealing with what seems to be our monthly bout with illness.  Sofie is covered in rash from head to toe, the back of Lily's throat is covered in red spots...we're thinking strep or scarlet fever or something.  

Happy Birthday, Matt, Congrats, Belony, and girls...back to Amoxicillin!
