I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. We just wanted to let everyone know what we have been up to.
Matthew:
Along with turning 6, he has also stated Kindergarten. He loves it. We live just around the corner from his school so he enjoys walking to and from school with us. He has started learning how to write his Alphabet and Numbers. This year he got to write to Santa and tell him how good of a boy he was. It took him a while, but he was very dedicated in writing it. He loves playing with our new kitten “Skiddie”. They are pretty much attached to each other every waking moment. He has also become quite the artist, constantly drawing pictures for us. It’s usually one of the first things he does when he gets home from school.
Matt:
As you all may know, he decided to join the National Guard. He is anticipating when he gets to go to Basic Training. He doesn’t leave until August 27, 2007, so he has awhile. In the meantime he has been going to St. Joseph once a month for Drill. He comes back exhausted but happy to be able to do it. He will be going to Basic Training in Fort Knox, Kentucky and then to Georgia to train for his job which will be Computer Tech.
He is finishing up school this semester and is going to concentrate on work until August.
Amber:
I have been busy with work. I am currently working as a Nurse’s Aid. I love it but am looking for a job that will give me weekends off for when Matt leaves. I’ve also been learning how to play the piano, something that I’ve always wanted to do. I am starting to be able to read music and have been able to play some Christmas songs. I still have a couple months of lessons, but had to put them on hold until after the New Year on account of my Piano Teacher had her baby.
That pretty much wraps it up for us. We hope you all have a safe and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
