Family

We had so much fun getting together!! Wish more of "us" could have been there - but this was great! We must plan to do this more often!!

Lions v Eagles

On October 9th, we got to see the Lions play the Eagles!! While we do like the Lions, we were really rooting for the Eagles that day. Unfortunately, Matthew was not happy most of the games. He was happy for a few minutes when the Eagles took the lead in the fourth quarter, then he was unhappy again at the end! :o( We did get a big "doughnut" that was good, we wanted the Eagles to win, though.

(August - the thing I'd rather forget about)

So, here I am acknowledging the fact that I broke my wrist the very first day of August!! Had surgery 8/8/16. I can choose to be very thankful - it could have been worse and it is healing well. I will choose to be thankful, even though it has been a huge inconvenience.

Here is a picture of it from late September - you can't see where the pins were sticking out for a few weeks.

Third grade!!

Our third grader! He wants to be a meteorologist :o)

Monday night sillies

I LOVE this boy!!!

First Swim Meet

Matthew had his first swim meet today! Mark and I are so proud of Matthew! He was super nervous last night, but this morning, he was ready to go! He raced in five different events and did a great job! Even better - he loved it!!

The benefits of earning and saving money!!

Matthew has been saving all of his money for a while - allowance and money earned from toys he sold at a garage sale - so that he could purchase an electric guitar! Thanks to a sale at our local music store, he was able to purchase one today!! He is a very happy 8 1/2 year old!!

Soccer!

Just finished his Spring soccer season! It was his best season.

Drive-In

I was able to - finally - take Matthew to his first Drive-In movie!! We saw Angry Birds! He loved it! It finished at 11pm - so we opted out of the second movie. Must do this again!
