What a weekend!!!

This weekend my brother Matt and his girlfriend Jessee came down from Michigan for a visit. They got here Friday just in time for dinner. Saturday was filled with errands, eating, and teaching Matt and Jessee how to play Settlers of Catan. Which Matt won, but it was a very close game. On Sunday, after church, Phil and Matt ran the River City Rat Race. It was Phil's first race in over a year, and he blew his goal out of the water!!! Matt placed 4th in his age bracket, which after dealing with food poisoning the week before, I think he did GREAT!!! They have not posted the race results yet, but when they do, I will post what Phil placed out of over 500 racers. Another positive thing that happened is Chloe totally came out of her shell for Uncle Matt. She played ball, jumped on the bed with him, and shared tons of hugs and kisses. I was also told that she was the most vocal in the nursery on Sunday that she has ever been. Maybe she is starting to come out of her shell a little more. I guess we will have to wait and see!!!

UPDATE: We just found out that Phil placed 126 out of 533. He was 12th out of 29 in his age group. Matt placed 14 overall. Great job guys!!!

A little bragging:)

The past couple of days I have been thinking about how amazing my daughter is. She is so full of personality. She has been talking in complete sentences the past couple of weeks. I know she is still too shy to do this in public, so many of you are wondering if she really even talks. This morning she looked at Phil and said "Where is mommy?". Several times she has said "Mommy, read this." or "Umm...I want this one." I never thought I would be having the kind of conversations I have with her. My heart melts every time she tells me she loves me. I am so glad that God hand picked this little girl for Phil and I. Motherhood is SO much more than I could ever imagine. I pray that the Lord continues to grow Chloe into an amazing little girl and continues to show Himself through the lessons learned by being Chloe's parents.

A group called Never Find Out has made several ads which can be found on You Tube. These are two of my favorites, but there are several more. Check these out and share them with others!!!

I still see the blood!!!

Today during lunch, I was trying to make a burrito and I hear "Tera, I am bleeding!!". My friend Tara, sliced her finger on a can top. After having many people look at it, including a nurse from the workers comp claim area, we made the trip to Redi-med. The solution to the problem... glue. Medical technology is amazing! Tara's finger is very sore, but no more bleeding. So, today I got a field trip, and had to fill out an incident report that asked 3 times how did the trauma happen. How many different ways can you say my friend is a little clumsy and cut her finger?

This is a blog take over!!

In order to please the many fans of Phil and Tera, I (Tera) am going to take over this blog. So, sit back, relax, and look for many more posts from me:)
