The last couple weekends...

Uncle Kyle came to visit us on Thursday, the 8th of October. He came in town for UVAs homecoming weekend and attended the Indiana game with us where UVA won and put up 47 points. Matthew enjoyed hanging with Uncle Kyle that weekend. Monday, Kyle flew with me and Matthew to Austin to visit Mimi and Aunt Kendra. Yes, this was Matthew's first plane ride. He even got a gift certificate signed by the captain and flight attendant, which is going in his baby book! He was a very good boy on both flights down to Austin. The first flight he was excited and enjoyed it when Uncle Kyle held him. The second leg was 3 hrs and he slept the whole time.

Kyle did have to work this week, so it was nice for Matthew to have hung out with him over the last weekend. So, most of Matthew's time was spent with Mimi and Aunt Kendra. Mimi had professional pictures taken the first day we were there and this week, Matthew really started talking, smiling and having more fun. He loves Mimi's house and her ceiling fans. That Wednesday the 14th he had his first experience in Mimi's pool with me and Aunt Kendra. He really seemed to enjoy himself and loves being outside. He thanks Mimi for the swing and playard she bought him along with all the blankets outfits etc. The swing was portable, so he got to swing outside on the porch. Now, he has some stuff at Mimi's for when he goes back to hang out. He hopes to visit again in the next few months. We both enjoyed our visit!

While he was there he also got to meet his Great Uncle Bill (Mimi's brother) and Great Aunt Linda (Mimi's sister-in-law) He loved meeting them and enjoyed it when Aunt Linda sang to him too. Mimi and Aunt Linda sang to him some spanish songs.

Our last full day we meant Kyle after his work day at the Austin trail which goes around the city. It is so nice it reminds me of central park only the trail is not around a park but rather the beautiful Austin Downtown. My mom donated money to help the upkeep of the trail, and inturn she was able to get a brick in our names.

Matthew did amazing on his trip and was such a wonderful baby while visiting Mimi's. We truly had a fabulous time and it was so nice to see my sis, bro and mom!

We did of course miss Daddy and want was excited to see him; hopefully next time he can make the trip with us. Matthew had fun and was happy to see Dad too when we returned. Hope you enjoy all our photos.
