Oh, geez ... just watch. I only wish I could have put these feelings into words.

Here is her book, I'll be getting it today.

Thank you & summer nickname

On December 23rd Matthew received a special box from his all star baseball coach, Scott Zanon. He was told to put it under the tree and not to open it until Christmas morning.

It was the first gift to be opened on Christmas and what a special way to start the day. Scott had a final keepsake made for all the boys as one more memory of their incredible summer together through district, state and regional little league tournaments.

Scott also gave each boy a beautifully written, heartfelt letter talking about what this summer and the team meant to him. He also personalized each letter with a hand written note about something specific to each boy. Once again, Coach Zanon went above and beyond for 'his boys'!!

You can see the front of the shirt in the picture and then the back has all the boys' nicknames. Matthew's is 'uncle fester' ... from the Adams'family!!

There's got to be some kind of story behind how Matthew got his nickname this summer during all-stars .... but I don't really know it!

Happy New Year!

misc. pages

***** EDITED 11.21.08 - I've just been informed that the above photo page is 'not nice' because it does not include Emma doing her homework and being considered an A+ student herself. The ONLY reason Emma was left out of these photos ... is because she was at basketball practice and the photo session was impromptu! I thoroughly apologize for misleading you all into thinking that only the boys are good students! This is an equal opportunity 'dumb-ass kid' house! :-)

Duck game - Nov. 8th

beach trip w/ the ladies

Thanks to Merede for organizing and opening her beautiful home to all of us.

It was a fantastic weekend ... hope to do it again soon!

end of post season scrapping -- I think!!

These are double page layouts ... in order to read some of the text you'll have to click on the page to enlarge it. Looking back through the photos was more fun than living in the moment with all that stress and anxiety of 1 game away from going to Williamsport!! Grateful for the memories though!

last night ...
