Hi

Hi all.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!

We had dinner at our house this year. This is the first year that Matt and I have hosted Thanksgiving.

We had my sister and her kids, my dad and my mom and step dad.

Everything turned out great!

Sorry I didn't take any Pictures.

Homecoming 9/19/09

Nick and Amber, at the school.

Amber at home before the dance.

This is the 2nd dance Amber has been to since being in high school.

She had a great time. We dropped her off at the school and picked her up afterward.

Yard Photos

Yeah! We have lawn! It's been a few months, but its so nice to be able to go out in the yard w/o needing to watch were we walk.

Heres the little patio we laid. It now has chairs and isn't so cluttered.

Vacation

Hi, everyone! Matt and I took the week of May 9Th-16 off to get some yard work done. I wasn't as hard as we thought it would be. We poured a small patio off the back door, tilled the yard up, laid sod and trimmed the trees back. Lots of exercise and sun!! Amber was in school this week. She came home to something new every day. It'll be nice not worrying about muddy feet in the winter!

I'll add pics when I get then uploaded.

Amber's last day is June 9Th, but she is going to summer school, so she wont officially be done for this year until July 11Th. She wants to get a job, but will have to wait until then.

We don't have any travel plans this year, but we both have tons of PTO, so we may take another week off late summer to just relax.

Hope everyone is well. Until next month. @M@
