With Carlos coaching the 8th grade basketball team, Matthew has a renewed interest in basketball. I suppose it also helps that the weather was tolerable. Matthew consistently impresses me with his motor skills. He is only four years old after all. He can actually dribble and handle the ball effectively. It is such a pleasure to watch him practice and improve.
Notice in the second photo both Carlos and Matthew are sticking their chins out. I've always wondered where Matthew got that from. Like father, like son. It is amazing how many idiosyncrasies we inherit from our parents.
Meagan and Erin - Do you remember a song that goes, "B-boys. I've been looking for your *** since a quarter past. Hot beans and butter baby come and get your supper....." I associate it with you Erin. Do you guys remember this or am I crazy? That was playing in my head as I uploaded these pics!?!
This year we spent the 4th of July at home. Really we didn't need to go anywhere, since our neighbors put on a great fireworks show. Huge, spectacular fireworks. We just pulled up some chairs at the end of the driveway and enjoyed.
On the 26th of April, Carlos and I will have been together for nine years. Thankfully, I love him more and more as time goes by. To avoid becoming complacent in our relationship, I sneak in love notes here and there, to surprise him and remind him that he's my main squeeze. This one will greet him when he returns home from work.
I was so blessed to be surrounded with loved family during Christmas. It was beyond special. More photos and their stories soon....
