Hmmm....Fell A Little Behind
The number one rule for all bloggers is post consistently - guess I broke that one. At this point, anyone who used to visit this site has probably stopped. But, just in case you accidently stopped by, I wanted to give you an update on what has been going on the last few months. Haven't really posted since November, but will touch on the key topics.
Brett Phillips Comes Home!!!
Seeing Brett this Christmas was definitely the highlight of my holiday season. As many of you know, Brett had been stationed in Iraq for nearly a year and a half. He was part of the Striker Brigade - the unit whose tour was extended to go to Baghdad and quell the violence.
We were able to see him and his lovely wife Krista a couple times during the holidays.
In one of the pictures below, you will see Brett and Krista when we went out to eat. There is a story here. Brett and I were in Physics together senior year of high school. At some point in that class we made a bit on who would win the 2000 Presidential Election. I said Gore - he said Bush. The loser of the bet had to buy the other one dinner. Well, we have yet to resolve who won the bet. As you will all recall, Gore received more votes - therefore winning the election. However, Bush won the presidency due to a loop hole in the electoral college system. (Note: Brett does not see it this way).
Just so everyone is clear -- I picked up the tab for dinner to thank Brett for his heroic service in Iraq -- I still insist I won the bet.
Our Boy Turns 1.
On January 13th, we celebrate our Matty's 1st Birthday. Below are a few pictures from the celebration - yes he went through 3 outfits.
Wow! What A Difference A Year Makes
Take a look at the two pictures below. One is shortly after Matty was born, the other shortly after his first birthday. Honestly, it looks as if Matty ate the kid in the 1st picture. He is a big boy - 30lbs.
Crazy Weather In Washington
It has been quite a winter (today the thermometer hit 68 in Seattle). We have had wind storms, ice storms, snow storms - you name it. Below are a few pictures from one of the snow days. Carolyn, Rosie, and Matty built a snowman - Rosie tried to give him a hug; an act which had mixed results. Matty's car got stuck in the snow.
Big News - Matt Jurgensen and Amy Hytinen Get Engaged.
No pictures to post but it finally happened - Matt and Amy are engaged. Congratulations guys...it is about time.
Quick Sign Off
Sorry for not posting regularly - I will try to do better moving forward.
My best to everyone. MK
