Nicholas Is A Bear

Nicholas earned his Wolf badge at our Blue and Gold Banquet.  We are very proud of him for all his hard work.  He loves scouting.   The boys did a skit about the history of scouting and Nicholas lead the flag ceremony.   (Sorry about your blurry face, Brother Lewis.)

A Sunbeam, A Sunbeam, I'll be a Sunbeam For Him

So it happened. My baby left nursery and is now officially in with the big kids in primary. He loves it. He did great, no tears, fears, or worries. Mom on the other hand was a mess. I cried when I left him in the primary room. And then I had to leave Gospel Doctrine class because I started again.

Here is his class. Look how happy he is to be there.

We are very lucky to have the BEST Sunbeam teacher in the whole church. Sister Mulchay is wonderful and Matthew loves her. He is always talking about what Sister Muchay teaches him.

Here they are in their classroom. Serenity, Ava, Matthew and Moroni.

I hate that my baby is growing up. Can someone please slow it down?

It's 12 O'clock Somewhere

New Year's Eve was my last night with my parents. Their plane left super super early on New Year's Day. So they didn't want to saty up. I told them they could just pull an all nighter, but they thought that wasn't the best idea ever. So we decided to ring in the new year with those wonderful Argentinian people.

Happy New Year Buenos Aires!!!

After mom and dad went to bed, the Metzgers were going to have their own little party to ring in the New Year with the rest of New England.

Needless to say, Joe, Holden, and Matthew didn't quite make it.

Of course we invited Dick Clark into our living room. What would New Years Eve be without Times Square?

Nicholas was awake. I was trying to take a picture of us but he closed his eyes. He was awake though. Joe did wake up just in time so I had someone to kiss at midnight. Good thing too.

Happy 2010 Everyone!

Christmas Cards

I love Christmas cards I send out ALOT of them. I love to address them, mail them, and receive them. It is one of my favorite parts of the holiday season.

I love how I get to take a minute and think about all the people who have touched my life. It is a reminder of how many amazingly wonderful people are in the world. As the cards come in, I get another chance to feel connected. I buy painter's tape and put them up on the wall so that I can have my friends with me the whole season. So, thanks for all the cards. Can you find yours?

Funny Kids

No new updates on the ITP.  Just more of the same. Loads of doctors visits and blood tests.

Every time Holden prays he says, "And please bless Matthew that he will feel better."  

Upon hearing this Matthew yells out, "I don't want to feel better!"  Right in the middle of the prayer.

Maybe he has a crush on the nurse at the hematologist office.  She is really nice to him.
