Had to Brag

In addition to a heavy class load and Law Journal assignments and Peanut Butter Factory duty* and making time for his family, Matt also spent huge amounts of time working on an 80-page paper for the Houston Law Journal last fall. All members of Law Journal had to submit a paper and last week at the annual banquet, we found out that, not only was his selected for publication, but he received an award for the best paper in his field!



I am so proud of him! He puts so much effort into being the very best he can, including the best husband and father. He is amazing to me, and I feel so blessed to have him to walk(/jog/sprint as the case may be) through life with. I love you, Matt!


*Not sure if I've mentioned in this forum yet that Matt has spent every-other weekend the last year and a half working the graveyard shift at our church's peanut butter factory where they make peanut butter for needy families around the world.

Easter Fun

We traveled up to my parent's house for Easter for our annual Easter family reunion. We had a great turn-out this year and it was so nice to see everyone! Of course, for Michael the highlight was the Easter egg hunt.

Even Sarah got into the act.

I stayed with the kids for the week after Easter(Matt had to come home for classes). The first day we were there, Michael saw Popie using a shovel to put leaves into a wheelbarrow. For the rest of our time there, Michael couldn't get enough of this activity! We even bought him his own little shovel so he could work safely.

My great-aunt Vern was there on an extended visit, so we got to spend the whole week visiting with her too. The night before we left, we made a camp fire and roasted hot dogs and smores. Michael loved the taste of the smores, but not so much the googey marshmallow that got all over his face, hands, and clothes.

This past week after we got home, Sarah started rolling over by herself --back to tummy. And she's already half-way to making it the other-way around too.


Sarah is sitting up by herself now pretty well. We still try to keep pillows around her, though, just in case.

Hmmmm. Any resemblance?

She looked so sweet today, I just had to take a picture.
