All He Wants for Christmas is His Two Front Teeth!

Matthew lost his second tooth!!

Star of the Week

Matt got to be the "special person of the week" at school.

He is a pretty special dude.

He also had SEP conferences and got a GLOWING report!

He is such a wonderful boy, and such a joy in our home!

Here is is poster we made.

When we finished, he wanted to color the back too... so we added this...

That week was also Red Ribbon week-- so here was his hair for "crazy hair day."

I'm not Matt's only fan.

Andrew and Linds LOVE that boy!!

They always play at the flag pole as they wait for Matt.

Then sit on this bench to wait some more....

We saw this awesome track in the sky as we waited.

Then, EVERY DAY when Matt comes out, Lindsay RUNS to give him a BIG HUG!

I sure do love this special person!!

Back to School Dinner

Sunday we had our first Back to School Dinner.

Our Gunnerson Family Theme for 2014 is:

 “Kindness begins with me.”

After dinner we sang, THIS song, and talked about ways to be kind.

We showed the kids our new “warm fuzzy” jar and told them every time they do something kind we will add a “fuzzy” to the jar.  When it is full we will do a fun family activity. (Yet to be determined).  After our little lesson, Darin gave each of us a Father’s Blessing.

(Side note: I spent probably 30 minutes writing and re-writing this phrase on the chalk board.  I did a really fun caligraphy writing and finally got really happy with how it looked.  Then, right before dinner, Andrew colored ALL over it, and I had to just write it in a hurry.  I now realize that the message is what is important, not the font.)
