Matthew really likes his Pokemon Game Boy game and his Pokemon cards. He is collecting the cards and trading them with his friends.

This year Matt has started playing the violin in his school's orchestra and is looking forward to Tae Kwon Do lessons in January. I will take some pictures of him and the other kids in their Gi's as soon as I can.
Matthew also likes to play with his turtle. On Matt's 9th birthday we bought him a box turtle and he named her Lisa. Lisa is still with us two years later and doing fine. Matt likes to take her out and let her have the run of the house, we have had lots of fun playing "Where's Lisa?". Matthew also likes to give her a bath in the sink and let her swim around in the bathtub. She likes to eat slices of processed cheese, orange peel and the everyday, garden variety, slimy, squirmy... worm (yech!).

Leapin' Lizards!

Did You Know...
  • That turtles hibernate during the winter months? (makes for an exciting pet!)

  • That turtles lay eggs?

  • That turtles burrow underground to lay their eggs?

  • That turtles never eat goldfish that you buy from the Pet Store and put in their water dish?

  • That you really have to be a turtle fanatic to enjoy having a nocturnal pet that does all the exciting things while you sleep?
