Welcome to our "new blog." We have officially moved to Maryland and having more than one bathroom is truly as wonderful as we all imagined. We are also eager to get going on our list of "must sees" while we are living so close to our nations capital. Seth is working at the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Bethesda for 3-5 years so we have time to do it all. We love staying connected with family and friends through blogging so thanks for stopping by!

It’s great to be eight! 2/14

With much anticipation, Matthew turned EIGHT years old . Unlike last year, school was not canceled and his Valentine’s party was able to happen as planned. The class party was the day before his birthday but since his birthday is on a Saturday it just meant we celebrated for two days. Keeping with tradition, I planned his class Valentine’s party. The kids decorated their own Valentine’s boxes, played a quick game and ate goodies. I sadly forgot to take pictures.

On Saturday he played with his new toys and then we went to Red Robin for dinner. We came home to indulge on his Cookie Monster Cake. Matthew has a sweet tooth so it seemed fitting. We are so happy he is ours!  He is the “policeman” in our family and makes sure everything is fair. He is still a kind friend and is an angel in school. He still loves Minecraft and playing trucks with his brother Conrad. He is growing taller every day and officially has bigger feet than Charlie (the height is getting closer but Charlie is hanging on). It is also no surprise that he LOVES to eat! He also loves to be tickled more than anything. He is looking forward to his baptism and has been eager to learn about the importance of covenants. We love you Matthew!
