Mattthew eating dinner after a Doctor's visit

Matthew had a fever today :(  No fun, but after his doctor's visit and all the pricking and blood draws, urine sample etc, he took a short nap and then decided he did want to eat dinner.  Here are some pictures.  Poor boy and hopefully it will turn into just a quick 24 hour thing.  At least he is happier in  these pictures!

Last Weekend in August

This past weekend we went to Fridays after Five and Matthew hung with Owen and met a little girl too.  Suzanne took some pictures, so I will have to get those from her.  Saturday we went to the pool which Matthew really loves the water.  He tries to crawl in the pool. ha.  Then we just grilled out at home.  Sunday we went to Church, then Matthew napped and we headed to the Polo Match at King Family Vineyard. After that we went home and grilled out again :)  We had a very nice weekend as a Family of 3.  Poor Abby, but it was just too hot to bring her.  Maybe later in September.  Hope you enjoy the few photos we took. 

Matthew's 12 Month Pictures

Matthew had his 12 Month Check up TODAY, and he was in the 75th percentile for height and weight.  He was 29.5 inches and 22 lbs and 10 oz.  And his head was off the charts, hopefully that is all smarts :)

Virginia Beach

Thanks to a wonderful generous donor Ryan works with, we were able to enjoy a trip to Virginia Beach again this year!  We stayed at his beautiful home just literally steps from the beach.  Matthew really had a great time too and he was happy to be able to go in the pool!  Last time he was there he was only 6 weeks old.  Now he is a crawler :)  He was very good this trip as he always is :)  We are so blessed everyday for our little miracle and all the blessings God provides us each and everyday!  We hope you enjoy the fun pictures we took while we were relaxing away from home!

Lake Norris in TN

So, the day after my Birthday, Ryan, Matthew and I all drove down to Lake Norris to see my Dad, Whittney, her parents and Jordan.  We really enjoyed our time, but did miss Sydney, Kendra and Kyle.  We stayed in a really nice condo off the Lake and my Dad rented a pontoon boat with a slide and a jet ski.  Thank you again Dad and Whittney for a great time with you all!  Matthew loved seeing you too!  And he and I loved our Birthday gifts so THANK YOU! Hope you enjoy the photos.
