today we went to a surprise party for our friend matt, who recently graduated from … whatever school he’s been attending for the past five years :D i’m a bad friend for not knowing the details, but i’m pretty sure it means he’ll be able to rake in lots more dough to help make his and alyssa’s marital dwelling into her dream home … or at least closer to it ;)

ellie was such a good girl (as uuuuusual). she seemed to enjoy being the center of attention once she got comfortable. she really enjoyed playing with the water from alyssa’s cool backyard fountain, and she even joined in a game of catch with matt!

congratulations again, matt. we’re proud of you!
