Greetings from the North Family - 3 February 2008
Return to this week's news

Emily's a big helper in the kitchen nowadays.
 
The girls were glad to see me. They made welcome home cards and decorated our entry way of our house. It was good to be home.

What happened this week...?

I think I underestimated how much of a drain the Brazil trip was going to be on me. After arriving late on Monday night in Pittsburgh, Tuesday was a blur as I tried to get ready for spring semester to start on Wednesday. Joanne and I both got the semester going this week, and I did a lot of laundry and paid bills and tried desperately to get HSBC bank to relinquish its grasp on the remining money in the trip budget. It was good to be back in church on Sunday, and I was glad to see the the ward had done very well without me. My counselors are the greatest. Its nice to just be back to normal now.

Best wishes to all,

Matt, Joanne, Jessica, Emily & Madeline
