Finishing Up Birthday Cake

These are the pics from the evening we finished up the last of Matthew's birthday cake. He, of course, still thinks that it is his birthday and keeps pointing at cakes in the store saying "Matthew birthday cake". It might take a while for him to realize that his day in the sun is over for now.

Happy 2nd Birthday Matthew!!

I just have a few minutes to post a few pics from Matthew's birthday. The first is from his party yesterday with all of our friends...

This one is from his birthday take #2 (today, the day of his actual birthday). We thought that this one was quite humorous.

And another from tonight...


Happy birthday baby boy! It's so hard to believe that you're two already. You have been an amazing blessing to us and we look forward to the years to come. We love you!!

And to Jessica, what else can we say? Thank you will never be enough.

Long Time, No See

Sorry that it's been a while since our last post. I almost forgot my blogger password as I tried to sign in tonight. So I guess I need to be a little more vigilant with my updates.

Life is busy here, per usual. We just returned from visiting Scott's father and stepmother in Florida this past Monday. Don (Scott's brother), his wife Julie and their twin boys, Jack and Charlie were able to join us as well. It was great to watch the three boys together. They all enjoyed swimming, playing with bubbles with Grandma Karen and just being boys.

We took the whole crew to the Homosassa Wildlife Park one day and saw lots of interesting birds and animals. But I think Matthew was getting a little pooped by the end.....

We also took a boat ride out to the Gulf. And as always, one of Matthew's favorite things was the playground.

He also got to visit the fire station across the street and was thrilled (sorry, no pics though).

I'm sure that Mike and Karen are now enjoying the peace and quiet after having 3 boys under the age of two in their home all at once.

Next, we have the big birthday bash for Matthew coming up. We're having a bunch of friends over for Memorial Day to help celebrate. And Nana Towne is making a surprise visit as well. So hopefully we'll have lots of great pics from the party with the next post.

For now, take care.
