Christmas 2012

We had a wonderful Christmas in Indiana at G'ma and G'pop H's!

Matthew turns FIVE!

December 21st was Matthew's fifth birthday! Due to his school's Christmas party that day, he brought his cupcakes to class on the 19th. We had a little party on his birthday. He had a great time. It's hard to believe that Matthew is five already! We love our sweet boy!

Swimming at the Y

Matthew is done swimming for the year! We so thankful for the progress that he made this last month! Jumping in the deep end with the smallest amount of help (the instructors let go of his finger as he jumps) and not crying about it, as well as getting his head wet. We are proud of him. This last night they taught boat safety - so all of the kids loved the time in the boat!

Thanksgiving week 2012

We had a lovely Thanksgiving. The weather was mild, which always makes life a little easier. Just a few pictures were taken. We were so happy that G'ma and G'pop H came!! Matthew and Grandpop were twins and Matthew and Grandma played a lot of bowling!

Life is good

It's good to be a cat on a day like this!

Election day 2012

Today is election day. (Never mind the bed head and out of focus pictures) Matthew says - "Vote for Ellie!"

Trick-or-Treat 2012

Halloween 2012 has come and gone. The weather was a bit dreary, but he still got to go around the neighborhood with friends and had a fun time at school.
