Finally an Update

It has been a really busy last 1/2 of the year. I got the opportunity to do a lot of great things at work. I got to mix up my schedule a little bit by working some nights for one of my co-workers while she was on leave. I also got to work on a huge project that was very challenging. It's a good thing that I am not afraid of hard work.


Matthew started 1st grade and seems to like the social aspects of it but not the school work. We are working with him on that. For some reason he just doesn't think that it is important. Fortunately, even though he chooses not to do some things, he is smart enough that he is still getting pretty good grades. It would be really nice if we didn't have to fight with him about homework. He seems to be getting better about it. I think that he is alot like me and maybe just a little stubborn.


My brother, Loren, got married so I have a new sister in law. That happened in October. Another exciting thing that happened on October is that Dan got his deer. Matthew was with us and got to watch. He was really impressed with Dan's ability to shoot his deer. He was telling everyone that "Dad shot our deer" and "we shot it", Dan was really proud of him and proud to share the deer with his son. As you can see above we got a great picture of Dan and Matthew with the deer.
