update

things are going quite well on our side of the world right now. i mean, who wouldn't be doing well with a gram who goes to the grocery store for me, is helping a TON with reese, cooking dinner and cleaning up afterwards?! it's a beautiful thing. i just know i'll hate it when she leaves.



matson is doing what babies do best...eating and sleeping. last night i actually got two four hour stretches of sleep with only a thirty minute interruption for eating! a huge thank you goes out to my sweet husband for staying up a little later with someone who wasn't quite ready to close his eyes. no crying, just wide-eyed. matson looks like he's getting bigger already. :( they grow up so fast, he's practically in kindergarten! ha. ha. just kidding.



reese continues to be super sweet with matson. each time she leaves the house or goes down to sleep she has to give matson hugs and kisses. the rest of us don't get love, just matson. as gram promised reese, she came bearing gifts. so far reese has received a doctor kit in which she loves listening to people's heartbeats, some pink glittery princess shoes, and some wooden pots and pans to complete her kitchen! i think she likes when gram comes. :)



my dad arrived in town on wednesday as scheduled, but no luggage - again. out of the five trips that either my mom or both parents have taken over here, only one time did their luggage show up with them. so frustrating. not to worry though, his luggage arrived the next day. tomorrow is my parents' 38th wedding anniversary (and my paw-paw's 87th birthday) so they are going out to eat at spoon, a restaurant on a boat on the danube river. matt and i haven't been there yet, but i've heard it's a really nice place to eat. they will get to enjoy sunset while dining. they are also looking at going to a tennis tournament on saturday and maybe visiting some smaller towns in hungary that are easily accessible by train. amidst all this they are enjoying time with two of their grandchildren.
