Greetings from the North Family - 24 February 2008
Return to this week's news

The birthday princess playing UNO with mommy. She got a birthday crown at preschool on Thursday.
 
I had bishop's training in downtown Pittsburgh for five hours today. By the time I got home, Madeline was beside herself with anticipation to open her presents.

Tearing in.
 
New leopard clothes!

The Nemo birthday cake, composed of individual cupcakes arranged just so.
 
The birthday girl with her birthday cake.

Digging agressively into the cake.
 
We even had a Nemo pinata for the party.

What happened this week...?

We've been a little sick at our house this week. It seems to go with the multiple snow storms we've been having. We're on the mend, but still have a few sniffles and coughs. Things should shape up soon though. In spite of the sickies, we did have a fun Nemo birthday party for Madeline today. She got some singing on voicemail and a few phone calls as well. Although we'd have loved to have you in person for her birthday, we're grateful that so many of you were thoughtful enough to drop us a line. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Best wishes to all,

Matt, Joanne, Jessica, Emily & Madeline
