Matthew

He went to his first wedding over the weekend. AND, imagine this... he was pretty well behaved! And adorable. "Weddings are AWESOME!" Ask his favorite part... "dancing with the lady in the long white dress." At least the bride was a good sport about it. :) Matthew danced an entire song with her and just LOVED the time with her. Check out the Springhill Pavillion online... it's where the wedding and reception was. It's beautiful out there! And, if you have ever seen The Horse Whisperer, the dance scene was filmed there. Guess I have to watch that now that I've been there.

Might I suggest a trip to Bozeman, Montana.... it's green, has mountains, and isn't Minot. :) They have a museum, http://www.museumoftherockies.org and we had a couple of hours in there. They were in between travelling exhibits, so it was partially not open to us. The museum has an outdoor section with a wonderful old homestead, with garden and blacksmith shop. The ladies inside were quite helpful and I got invited to join in an EGA meeting next time I get to Bozeman. They were spinning their own yarn, doing some quilting and weaving.

Did I mention the wee man has made it thru kindergarten? Yep. Survived it! YAY! Goes on to first grade August 28. He said "I'm bored" a few weeks before the year ended. Lord help us! He's going to be bored with the work for a few years to come considering his intelligence. We're off to the library in the morning. It's time to start some summer reading. We also got Matthew signed up for T-ball this summer. I only hope it'll go well for him... he's never played, but was interested. He is excited. But he also thinks he will be at the play area on base with the pitching machine. Yikes! Oh, and tomorrow is also a visit to the shot folks. Oh boy! The youth center now requires the kids to have Hep A shots to play. ARGH! I'll have to ask about no mercury shots. I'm not terribly happy about having to get him another shot.

Well, I think that catches you up for now. It's been deliciously quiet here this week with manchild at camp near Devil's Lake. At least he gets to see more of ND than he remembers from being a little guy in the 90s. :)
