Three years ago today we met the boys. Back then they were non-English speaking little savages - now they've grown and practice English non stop...really...non-stop.
It was quite a day. Matthew had his first reconciliation (confession) with his class and a birthday party for our neighbor Tyler. Apparently, reconciliation is a much bigger event these days then when we were kids.
As for the three years, well it's a cross between "just yesterday" and "a lifetime ago." Everything has changed, much more laughter, many more tears, more band-aids, less sleep and on and on and on.
A post on this date would not be complete without mentioning it is the one year anniversary of the passing of Mel the Cat. For nearly 15 years he was a sweet companion and the brunt of many jokes. He is still missed
Anyhow, here are some pictures from today
