Matt and Kristal are Coming Home!!!

Some of you may know Matt and Kristal, some don't. Matt is Emily's brother and Kristal is his wife. They have been teaching English in China for about a year. They had some great experiences and visited some amazing places. However, we missed them and are excited to have them home. They are such fun people to be around and are so creative. Check out their blog!!! It's so entertaining!!!!

We love you guys and we are glad that you'll be home tomorrow!!!!

Who's the Blogger????

Love you guys!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!

Dear Daddy,

How are you? I have missed you so much while you have been gone. I have been a really good girl while you have been away. What was New York like? Did you get me any presents? I am pretty bored without you. Mom isn't as much fun to hang out with. All she does is drag me around town while she runs her "errands," and then she doesn't let me get into anything fun like the dog bowls. I did get to play with my cousins though while you were gone, and with Erin and Steve and Carter. But none of them are as much fun as you! I hope that you have a fun birthday. Make sure that you eat some cake and ice cream and take some time to relax. Hurry home, because I can't wait to see you and give you a big hug and kiss. I love you so much!

Love,
Mirian

PS Mom says hi and she loves you too.
