Green belt!!

Despite still feeling under the weather, Matthew felt well enough to go to his green belt testing. Samuel, Shiloh and Matthew did a great job. We are so proud of you, Matthew, for persevering. We know that karate is not your favorite thing, but you stuck to it and have been rewarded with a promotion! We love you!

7th year birthday party!

Matthew had a little birthday party at our house! We had such a good time and are so thankful for all of Matthew's friends!! He had a blast - from playing video games, spraying silly string, making pizza, eating an ice cream pizza, and, of course, opening presents!

Wii U

Some one was VERY excited for Christmas to come early!

International Thanksgiving

The university hosted an international Thanksgiving - so, of course, I brought Swedish meatballs with lingonberry jam and almond tarts!

First snow of the season

Matthew is a happy boy!!! Mark is not! I didn't think I would have to remember where all of the winter accessories were in mid November - thankfully, all were found!

Science night on campus

Saturday night - the night after Halloween - the university had science experiments and candy. Matthew's buddy, Gabe came along, too. We even found a big Mario, too!
