Purple Belt

After almost 7 years of jiu jitsu, Matt was finally awarded his long-overdue purple belt a couple of weeks ago. And he got a beating to go with it!

Busy Summer

Ok, this summer if flying past! Right after we got back from Cloudcroft, we had Alexia's wedding. Morgan & Emma were flower girl & ring bearer. They had an amazing time, especially on the dance floor. After that, we adopted two kittens from the animal shelter. The kids named them Timmy & Goody Tiptoes. They are both very sweet, and their arrival is pretty much the most exciting thing ever. Except for Baby V...she's scared of them! Then, the kids started swim lessons this week. They have both improved a lot since last year. Emma is working hard on the back float and front glide. Morgan is learning freestyle and the back glide (prep for backstroke).
