There is SO MUCH to be thankful for lately. . .

Do you know that for the past few months, Tyler has been getting up between 4:30 and 5:30 every work day to study for one of his actuarial exams?

Do you know that he's been doing this so that when he comes home from work in the evenings, he can help me with the boys (and really with anything else I might need)?

Well, all of Tyler's sacrifices and hard work really paid off. He passed MFE (his third actuarial exam) on Friday!! This is such a huge blessing for our family in so many different ways. I'm grateful for the little break we will get before Tyler will have to get so involved with study again for his next exam. (And I am so grateful for a husband who works so hard for me, and for my family.)

In other Heasley news, Rich is transitioning (beautifully) to a twin bed! I really thought it would be more of a struggle, but he seems to really love being in (what was) "Grandma's bed"--the bed my mom would sleep in when she visited. Note: he must sleep with "Grandma's pillow" when he's in the big bed now.

And, Rich is even starting to use the toilet. (Just on occasion. I don't think he or I are ready for full on potty training yet.)

And Leo is growing and growing. At his four-month appointment today, he weighed 14 lbs 15.9 oz. He's still fighting off a bit of a cold, and he might be teething, but other than that, he is healthy and strong.

I really am just so grateful for my sweet family. My boys really do bring me so much joy.

What a family! Doesn't surprise me at all that Tyler gets up early to study and at the same time doesn't want to miss any family time later on in the day. You both are such an incredible team.

Good news about Richie and his big boy bed! How wonderful. And it sounds like potty training is on its way.

That picture of Leo makes me smile every time.

I am so thankful you are their Mom.
