Orange Belt!

Matthew earned his orange belt today! He has done so well over this past year! We are very proud of his hard work! Great job, Matthew!

This is March at our house 2014

I'm thankful for a drafty house that has kept was warm, a husband who has spent hours upon hours shoveling snow and a son who has gotten lots of opportunities to play.

Tetanus shots

I hate tetanus shots! Thankfully, it cleared up within several days.

Winter 2014

We've had plenty of snow for Matthew and his friends to play in this year! Poor Mark has certainly gotten his exercise in all of the shoveling every week!

Going, going,........

GONE!! The tooth fairy may have to brave the snow and wind to go to the store to get celebration supplies!

MVP

Since it is "Awards Season" - I thought I'd post Matthew's Most Valuable Possession: Ellie!!

Matthew turns SIX

We've been celebrating Matthew's birthday all week! Last Saturday was his birthday party at The Bounce Castle. Last night we got an ice cream pizza from Maggie Moo's. Tonight he wanted to go to Culver's for his birthday dinner. Two presents got wrapped in birthday paper and the rest got wrapped with the Christmas presents - bad mom. The perils of having a birthday close to Christmas. You try to keep it separate - but sometimes it doesn't always work out that way. Matthew, we are so thankful for you! You are a blessing!
