Halfway

Joseph finished up his second year of dental school yesterday! Just two more to go! He starts in the clinic tomorrow, so we spent his one-day break at the beach today.

Come and Gone

My parents came for a visit a couple of weeks ago! It had been way too long since we'd seen them, so we had lots of talking, cuddling, and playing to catch up on. No time was wasted.

We went to the Manhattan temple, my dad spent a day riding a bike around the five boroughs of NYC, and we took a day-trip to Philadelphia.

It was terrific to have them here for Matthew's birthday and for Mother's Day. Perfect timing.

We love to see how much they love our kids. I'm sure it is hard to have their only grandkids over 2,000 miles away, so they love every second they get to spend with them. We had such a great time with them here, and can't wait until the end of the summer when we'll be together again!

Matthew is three! He is in love with ducks, so naturally he got two new ducks, duck shaped french toast, a duck birthday cake, and all his ducks (that I could find...) attending his little party! My parents were here for his birthday and we all had a great day together.

He is our best little boy, and we love him so much! Happy Birthday M!
