It's been waaaayyyy too long...

So, Mom has been REALLY bad at posting, so I had to just figure this thing out and take over!

Ten Things in the Last Month:

10. Went to a Young Life property in Georgia with several HS kids from Boerne HS! Very fun! Loved the property and the girls! :)

9. Went to Colorado...first to Frontier Ranch with a friend and worked for a few days (I got to go with Mom to Frontier! It was VERY fun! Mom said Frontier is not 1 year old friendly...whatever that means!) I think she was tired!

8. I got 4 new teeth - BIG ONES! My mouth is tired and I now have 14 teeth! WHOA!

7. We went to a wedding - the whole family - in Denver! One of Mom's old Young Life kids! Mommy got to speak at the wedding! She was really nervous but very honored! Congrats Bill and Crissy!

6. Mom and Dad have been working on getting paperwork started for a second adoption! YAY! Maybe a brother or sister is coming soon...who knows!?!?

5. Mom read the book THE SHACK! Very good, hard at first, but great story! She recommends it...

4. Mommy has LOTS of friends pregnant and cannot wait to meet the babies that are coming...The Hinkebein Baby, Baby Hartlee Menn, and so many others! I cant wait to meet my new friends!

3. Mom went to be part of a fun team that staffed a Young Life property in Arizona called Lost Canyon. It was a week of Young Lives which means teen Moms and their babies! Very fun and amazing week.

2. I went to the ER for the first time ever! Got me some DermaBond (basically super glue for your skin) because I split my forward open...

1. Everyone is HOME! And our Aussie family is in town! YAY! We are all back together again!

Enjoy the pics...

Yay Matty!

Oh gosh, where do I begin? First of all you are so precious and so grown up!!! Second, what a busy month you all have had - so fun and so fulfilling! Third, 14 teeth? My goodness, I can't wait to see all those pearly whites. Finally, my Mom is reading The Shack now, and I am next in line for the book - I have heard it's a must read, and I'm looking forward to it.

hey matthew, your mommy was the best "sister" we've ever had lead the childcare team. she knew just when to be strict, when to be fun, and loved all around. she rocks. hope you are just like her when you grow up. and i don't even hold it against you that you're from texas :) hope to meet you soon...

Courtney,

Hey!

Great postings & great pictures. I hope you guys are doing well. Just wanted to say "hi"- haven't seen you in a long time, though we ran into Brian at Home Depot not too long ago.

Take care!
