Part of the tradition at Matthew’s pre-school is the fall hayride to the pumpkin patch on the church grounds. Matthew loves the adventure and is excited to pick out his own pumpkin. More photos available on our SmugMug site.
Today Joshua and Matthew had their first soccer games. It was a hot, humid August morning and the boys worked up a pretty good sweat. Our local soccer club has changed the field environment for the young players. Instead of 7 from each team on a medium size field, Matthew’s age had 2 small fields […]

Today was a big day in the life of our family. School started again and this time Joshua joined the big kids boarding the bus for the short ride. While he was nervous, he boarded with pride and had a great day. His “high” today was joining all the other big kids for lunch […]

This evening Matthew, Joshua and Lilly (next door neighbor) played outside with some of Matthew’s birthday gifts. Matthew and Lilly were especially excited to each have their own scooters and to go “riding together”. Matthew also tried out his baseball pitching machine. A little bit of work to do there…but great determination. You can see […]

Emily led the charge, creating new games and experiences for the neighborhood kids. It is great that we have so many kids within walking distance from our home. There is always someone […]

Nothing like a Saturday morning with your best friends at Chuck-E-Cheese. From (overstimulating) games to pizza to presents, it doesn’t get much better than this when you are 4. Matthew is quickly losing his toddler look and is growing into a determined boy. I thought his sister was competitive, but I think Matthew is one […]

Joshua is moving on to the big school! This Thursday we Mom, Matthew and Dad got the pleasure of seeing his beaming face throughout the graduation celebration. There is nothing more touching than seeing your son beam, just because you are there and smiling back at him. Joshua had a great year and made real […]

Our little guy is growing up! Joshua turned 6 today and we celebrated his birthday this weekend. We had a great time at Chucky Cheese yesterday with a number of Joshua’s friends. I think we could power our home for a week with the energy the kids had playing games and dancing. Saturday evening was […]

Tom’s birthday present came a few days early, a new digital SLR camera. After weeks of considering different options, Tom went with a Nikon kit. This morning he took his first pictures – of the kids of course! There is a sampling of the photos on our SmugMug site.
Today we celebrated an early birthday present for Matthew. He is a growing boy, now almost 4 years old. Mommy and Matthew picked up a green/blue bike because it is “cool like Joshua’s bike”. It was a chilly day but Matthew bundled up and took the bike for his first ride, cheered on by his […]
