Our First Snowman :)

We built our first snowman together as a family today :) Mommy and Daddy rolled the snowballs, Matthew got the rocks for his eyes and the hat for his head AND Madeleine just screamed...she's scared of it!

Our First Dig-Out

We had our first snowfall this weekend and our first opportunity to shovel our long driveway! Shortly after shoveling it, we found ourselves purchasing a snowblower :) Gotta love Minnesota!

Niagara Falls

David and I took a trip to Niagara Falls this past spring! Matthew and Madeleine stayed with my parents for a long weekend while we got away! We went to David's cousin, Doug's wedding and we had the best time catching up with everyone and relaxing at the Morgan House. We went on a winery tour and toured Mackenzie Childs! We loved our getaway!

Apple Picking with Small Group

For our small group social this fall, we went apple picking! It was a lot of fun!

Happy 4th Birthday, Matthew!

Matthew just beams when he talks about his 4th birthday! He wants to celebrate it everyday! It was a day filled with Thomas the Tank Engine and more Thomas the Tank Engine! Every gift was Thomas related and Matthew loved everything! Daddy couldn't get the gifts out of the boxes fast enough! Matthew also loved all of his family that was there and we know with his big heart that's what really means the most to him, yes, even at the age of four! Thomas comes in a close second! Happy Birthday, Matthew!

Playtime Fun

Matthew and Madeleine love going to Grandma and Papa's to play!

Matthew starts Preschool!

Matthew absolutely LOVES going to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and loves his Teacher Debbie! His favorite things to do at school are play trains, have snack and play in the gym! I just had to add in this pictures of Madeleine who is more than ready for her turn :)

Our Soccer Star...Matthew!

Matthew loved all of the soccer skills he learned this fall and his daddy was his best coach ;) We're so proud of you, Matthew for trying something new!

Congratulations, Alanna and Welcome Baby Hayden!

Bye Bye Temporary Living!

We're so blessed to have all lived together in temporary housing waiting for our home in Arkansas to sell :) We took a leap of faith in July and purchased our new home in Minnetonka and God sold our home in Arkansas a week later...He is so good!

Como Zoo

Matthew loved going to Como Zoo this past summer, I think more for the yummy treats than anything else ;) He loved the polar bears the best! Madeleine has not warmed up to animals yet but loved watching the turtles swim!
