Happy Birthday to my sweet, kind, funny, extremely cute husband Matt!   You are an amazing husband and father, and I am blessed to be your wife.  How about some ice cream cake for dinner?

And big congratulations to our two boys, who both passed their test yesterday at taekwondo to get their white belts!  They did a great job, and we're proud of them.  I can already see an improvement in their balance and coordination, especially for S.  I think I was probably more nervous about the test than they were -- afterwards, an instructor told me that they never have the kids test for a new level until the teachers are certain that they will pass.  That's information which would have been helpful to know earlier!  It's a great program, and the boys are really enjoying their classes.

S mentioned last night that he was getting tired of me wearing my new Steelers jersey -- but I'm a loyal fan, and I'm not taking it off till after the Super Bowl.  Speaking of which, some of the commercials that will air during the Super Bowl are available on-line, including a Mastercard commercial for anyone who is a fan of the old '80s TV show MacGyver.  Scroll over the small pictures on the right hand side of the screen until you hit the one for Mastercard.
