Chiles Peach Orchard

We went with a bunch of moms from the playgroup I am in and Matthew was able to pick some pumpkins and apples. I think he really enjoyed himself and he loves his new rain boats and Elmo hat as you can see from some of these pictures. 

Uncle Jay & Aunt Janet's Visit

This weekend, Uncle Jay and Aunt Janet came to visit on Saturday for the NC State vs UVA game here in Charlottesville.  Matthew and Lily had fun with them.  Matthew enjoyed the game as usual and does enjoy seeing all mascots.  He was looking out for both, Wolfy and Cav Man.  He loved being able to wear his football jersey too! 

This morning we went to church with them and Matthew had fun in the nursery, then headed to Bodos as usual and came home to change.  Then we all headed back out and went on a walk on the Monticello Trail.  2 mi up and 2 mi back down; so much fun!  Matthew walked almost a mile of it and Lily was carried down the whole way.  They were great kids and enjoyed the time with Jay and Janet!

Here are a few pictures, hopefully next time they can stay longer than one night:)

Matthew's 1st Dentist Appt

Today, Matthew had his first Dentist Appt!  They cleaned his teeth and flossed them, which now we have to start doing for him too :)  He did a great job.  He had his mellow demeanor and watched Gabba but held on to big bird real tight.  I wasn't sure he was going to give up his passy but he was a trooper and no crying :)  He made them pry open his mouth a couple times.  Ryan came to help and see his first eperience which was great!  The fatest dentist appt I have ever been too :) 

Oh and one last thing, matthew was able to pick one toy from the waiting room to take into the dentist chair with him and he took Arial from the little mermaid; ha, I think he will be so excited when he will get to play with some of Lily's girl toys when she gets older.  He is funny :)

He was a great boy today and was so happy for him;  he let me floss his teeth tonight :) We may make a star chart for him to so him how good he is with his teeth. 

I have to say I LOVE being home with Matthew and Lily.  They are amazing, lots of work, but so much fun :)

UVA Homecoming Weekend

Uncle Kyle visited and brought his girlfriend, Calla.  We really enjoyed her and Matthew and Lily LOVED her too!  Calla was great and so wonderful with children; whoever hires her on as their nanny next will be blessed.  I enjoyed talking with and getting to know Calla!

Also, UVA pulled off a great win this weekend too!

Hope you all enjoy the pictures below.
