Matthew is 21 months old!  He is such a joy to be around right now.  He is very talkative and we love listening to him and trying to figure out everything he says. Matthew is still very active and one of his favorite words at the moment is "Run!" because that is his preferred way to get around these days :)

Family Photos

We had family photos taken in March and then we took some of Matthew in the bluebonnets.  It is not easy to take photos of a little one who is always moving (and does not like photos) but we managed to get some good ones. Here are some of our favorites!
















Easter

We spent Easter here in Houston. Matthew liked hunting for eggs but didn't want to be anywhere near the Easter Bunny!!
