Bob Marley Breakfast

Well Matthew's latest obsession is music. And the boy loves to dance. He listens to Bob Marley every morning while having breakfast. He will dance in his high chair as he's eating, but the funny part is that he dances for about the first 30 seconds of each song. It's almost like he forgets that the music is on until a new song comes on. It's really quite humorous. He continues to be a constant source of entertainment.

We made a trip to the Point Defiance Zoo while Scott was off this past week. I really love these two following pics. I think they really captured the expression of amazement on his face as he was checking out all the animals.

He also like all of the peacocks that were wandering around as well...

Sorry for such a short post, but we would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. May your day be filled with many blessings including family, friends, food and fun.

Love,
Scott, Cheryl and Matthew

Visit to Virginia (a little late)

Sorry that this post is so late this week. We just got back from Virginia on Monday and now we've got a little catching up to do. Our trip was a lot of fun. We flew into Richmond Thursday and spent Friday afternoon at Maymont Park letting Matthew play in the leaves.




That night we had dinner at Scott and Kimberly Mayer's home and got to catch up with some friends. It was lots of fun with nine crazy kids running around. I think the quote of the night was when someone said that "We've come a long way from the fraternity house".

Then it was off to Reedville on Saturday. We arrived the day of the big oyster roast at the Fisherman's Museum, so Nana and Grandad were a little busy, but we had some great food and Matthew enjoyed hanging out on the pier and checking out the boats. He also got to meet his Aunt Lynn for the first time.

On Sunday, we got to do all kinds of fun things like ride in the golf cart, go for a boat ride and play with all kinds of toys. Matthew initially decided that he wanted to drive the boat, but after we all insisted, he let Grandad drive and he put on a life jacket (note the change in expression).

Hopefully Matthew didn't wear out Nana and Grandad too much. Although I think that they're still looking for the box to the dominoes.

On Monday it was off to Williamsburg to wander around and visit Scott's friend Foubert, his wife, Susan, and their new little one Meg. Matthew had a great time running up and down DOG street.
