Happy Birthday Jon and other stuff


Jon has been counting down to his birthday since about July--MADE IT!! He started off his day with with a bang...made soccer goal straight through our front window--notice the broken glass behind this beautiful birthday face? Just as a side note--each of our three boys has broken a window in the last 7 months, starting with Matthew--on the first day of summer break--a golf ball through our bedroom window. Then Michael, football, through the other front window, and now this. No more balls in the yard, boys!!
In other news....
School kids finished up another quarter working really hard-especally Michael. We love his teacher, but SHEESH she is a hard grader--love the high expectaions, though. He has really had to stretch, but made honor roll again.
Meghan made the all star team in soccer and her team won...onto softball next week!
Starting with Saturday of the all star game, a stomach virus got us--Rachel first-then bang, bang, bang--all of us. Christmas day was the first day we had no throwing up--6 straight days. I have just finally caught up with the laundry.
This is all of the kids trying to look happy making gingerbread houses. Such a bummer--candy everywhere, but nobody could eat it.
Loved the break, and sort of sad everyone has to back tomorrow. We needed another week since the first one was spent being sick.
