We just noticed on Jordan's school account that he received a scholarship this semester! He never applied for one, and when he went to the scholarship office to see what it was for, they said there weren't any notes on the account so they weren't sure, but probably grades :) Way to go Jordan!!
Jordan "misplaced" his car key almost a year ago. So we have been dealing with only one car key for quite a while! They are just so expensive to replace (ours is the kind you have to get from a dealer with that dang chip) so I have been putting it off. But recently I felt we really need to get a new one just in case. But I reminded Jordan to check the lost and found at school before we did. THEY HAD IT!! That saved us lots and lots of $$$. (And that same day we somehow ended up locking the keys in the car with Calin in the back seat. Good thing Jordan had that other key in his pocket!!)
This past weekend we received a package in the mail from Jordan's grandparents. His grandma made copies of Jordan's mom Holly's journal entries and sent them to all the boys. What a priceless gift! We still haven't had a chance to read through all of them, but have already learned so much about Holly! We've been praying for ways to make her a bigger part of our life especially for Calin, and ways we can get to know her better, so this was definitely an answer to our prayers! She was a wonderful woman with so much love to share! She loved the gospel and had such a strong desire to share it with everyone she could. Even through her writings she provides a great example to those who read them!
Calin slept through the night 3 nights in a row! The past couple nights he hasn't been feeling too well so he actually was up twice during the night. I doubt the sleeping through the night thing will stick, but maybe?! He's a pretty good sleeper, so hopefully he'll be sleeping through the night on a regular basis soon!

One blessing you can look forward to...spending Thanksgiving with ME!!! Yay! Won't that be wonderful? LOL! It will be fun to finally see little Calin!
Way to go Jordan!!! ;)
That's so awesome that you guys started off with such an awesome month. That scholarship sounds similar to the one alan receives. The first time we got it we were like what the heck is this and thought they made a mistake and we were going to return the check lol. Then we learned it was for being in the science field and having a 3.0 or higher. yay for calin sleeping he is such a cutie-pie!
Now those are tender mercies! And congrats to Callin for some great night sleeps. He just might do it regularly!
