Christmas Eve

Cookies for Santa

Matthew enjoyed putting cookies out for Santa...

and enjoyed sampling!

Visit with Santa

Matthew didn't want to have anything to do with Santa when it was our turn to visit. While waiting in line he waved to Santa and seemed very excited! But, when we were next things changed and he became very afraid. So, we had a family picture taken. (Notice where Matthew is sitting....as far away from Santa as possible!)

Uncle Tim graduated from Palm Beach University on December 13, 2008 with a B.S. in Management.

Tim's College Graduation

Matthew's Announcement

Matthew wants to tell everyone that he is going to be a big brother in June 2009.

Happy Halloween!

Matthew had a great time trick-or-treating with both Mommy and Daddy! He understood the idea of taking our neighbors' candy and putting it in his bucket really quickly. By the end of the night he was a trick-or-treating PRO!

Ready to go...

Walking his beat as a sheriff...

Taking a break....


A busy night of collecting lots of candy....

Time to see what he got!


And count it to make sure Daddy doesn't take any! But, he might share one or two pieces with Mommy :)

On Saturday, we went to Linvilla Orchards to visit the Pumpkinland . Matthew loved seeing all the pumpkins and being around so many people as it was very crowded!



Daddy and Matthew had to have their picture taken in front of the Phillies pumpkin!
GO PHILLIES!


Just the three of us!

Merrymead Farm

This past week Matthew went to Merrymead Farm with his friends, Benjamin and Maddie.


We tried to take a group picture but that became quite a challenge with a 12 month old, a 17 month old and a 3 year old.

Matthew loved holding hands with Ben and looking at all the pumpkins.

Fire Prevention Open House

This week is Fire Prevention week and we went to Perserverance Fire Company's Open House.

Matthew and Daddy checked out the fire trucks.

Matthew liked looking at all the firefighter equipment in the firehouse.

We saw a U.S. Coast Guard Helicopter land and Matthew was able to sit inside of it.
