Fun-draiser

Mike and Katie's Guatemala trip skate fundraiser was a success, I'd say.

It got michael addicted to hockey and gave us all a chance to celebrate the season.

Sonshine, I'm not sure who you are but maybe you could email me at vanderherberg@gmail.com
because, you're right I don't change this blog much! 

The beloved, two days of fun, couch-ski

It was a lot of fun, while it lasted. But in order to insure that no children were injured we decided not to repair the couch when the ski snapped off...
Como miaco imainou, ele fez um sofa com 'skis' para andar nos colinhos. fue muito divertido so que nos perdoamos um ski e nos so usamos duas dias... Nao queremos masticar alguem e nao consertamos.... perdoa meu portugues, estou com miuto saudades de falar e praticar portugues!
Te amo nossos amigos brasileiros!
