Leah & Bill Wed

Matt's younger sister Leah got married over the Christmas holiday. Leah & Bill Rietveld were wed in a small ceremony on St. Pete Beach. The entire Lavelle family was in attendance for the occasion.

Afterwards we danced the night way!

Merry Christmas

We found ourselves back in Florida again this Christmas. We are spending a few nights with Pam on the west coast before heading inland to my parents. Santa was very generous this year and brought Sydney and IPod Touch and Andrew a DSI XL. Both were very pleased.

Our Little Gymnast

The gymnastics season is in full swing now. Sydney is practicing at least 6 hours a week. We are very pleased with how well she is performing for her first year. Her technique is improving everyday.

She has placed on uneven bars at every meet so far. Here is a video clip of her bar routine at the North Canton vs. Ashland meet. It was not her cleanest routine but earned her 5th place.
