Mint Mocha Monday – Bostonian Birthday

I turned 30 last Tuesday (let’s not talk about that, though). We spent the afternoon downtown, enjoying the spring weather and beautiful blossoming trees.

Here’s another one for the grandparents, aunts, and uncles.

My camera made it home safely, so here are a ton of photos from our trip!

At my family’s home in TN:

At Austin’s parents’ home (and his cousin Sarah’s wedding) in SC:

Family Friday – Jasmine

Melita Matzko — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 13:18:04 +0000

Well, we’re home. Sorry there weren’t any Thursday Thoughts this week. I hadn’t had time to set up a post in advance, and we were traveling yesterday. The kids did well again. I might write a post next week about some of the tricks that helped us survive traveling with an infant and toddler. But you know how it goes. As soon as you think you’ve figured the little goobers out, they surprise you with new challenges.

My camera didn’t make it back. What I mean to say is that I forgot it when packing to come home, along with my precious Wal-Mart reading glasses that magically prevent tension headaches. Why couldn’t I forget something silly, like a pair of socks? Anyway, until the package arrives that my mom is so mercifully sending to her forgetful daughter, we’ll have to look at some photos I’d already happened to load onto my hard drive.

Jasmine is my sister’s little cat. She’s at that “teenager” stage: bigger than a kitten, but not quite full grown. She’s obsessed with water, and will actually sneak into the shower with you to perch on the edge of the tub, playing with stray water drops. Sam had a blast chasing her around. Another important fact: Jasmine + laser pointer = quality entertainment.

We drove down yesterday to visit Austin’s family. Maggie caught the cold too, and has been coughing the last couple of days. The warm South Carolina air seems to be helping, though.

Mint Mocha Monday – Family Time

What a weird week. On the one hand, I’ve been sick (I got what I think was a 12 hour stomach bug late Saturday night and am still fighting a bad cough and sore throat). On the other hand, I’m so happy to be visiting family! Here are some photos from Mom’s birthday.
