At Church Today

Matthew has gotten to where he draws pretty well now...today he drew this picture in Sunday School. The little guy that's first is of course, Matthew. The 2nd one in pink, well that is mommy and the smaller one in black is daddy. Now the first thing I see is that I am the biggest one of the page. Some would probably automatically think that he did that because I'm bigger than all of them. However, I choose to believe it's because he see's me as his primary source of care therefore bigger to him in his eyes. :o) I hope you all get as much enjoyment out of this as I did!

Matthew also had a Valentine's party at his daycare on Friday. The things he told them he loved was his Mommy, Daddy and his new house. Sweet boy!

Christmas Reunion 2008

Wow...we were in Mobile for 8 days but it just flew by! We spent Christmas day with my mom's family. It's the first time in 6 years that all of my mom's siblings have been together. It's also 97 years by Mammaw has celebrated Christmas Day. This was a very special time for us all.

The 1st picture is everyone that was at Mammaw's for Christmas except for my Aunt Lee, my cousin Terry and his wife Yvette. My hubby Kevin is in the back row with my Dad and Aunt Donna. Ricky and mom are in the 2nd to last row. The front row is my Uncle Vic, Aunt Deb, cuz Kindle, Mammaw (96 yrs old), my Granny and of course, me...

The 2nd picture is of my Aunt Debbie and Uncle Vic. Aunt Deb is the first of my Granny's children.

The 3rd picture is of my cuz, Kindle and her hubby Ricky. Ricky is a truck driver...Kindle is a dental hygenist part time.

The last picture is my mom and her 3 sisters. From left to right, Aunt Donna, Aunt Deb, Aunt Lee and my mom. This was an emotional day for them all..they were so excited to all be together at the same time.

Thanksgiving in Tennessee

We ate at Aunt DeDe's house. That is Grammy's sister (Deb). We had a lot of good food. Matthew pretty much ate mac and cheese and sweet potatoes...oh yeah, and pumpkin turtle cheesecake. SO GOOD!

Matthew and I helped Grammy put the tree up. When I was growing up, we always helped my Granny put up Christmas decorations and the tree. I'm glad Matthew can be a part of this now. He had fun putting the ornaments on the tree. We only lost one and that wasn't really his fault. Daddy was trying to help him and he didn't want help. Mister helped him put the Angel on the top of the tree. Such a big boy now!

Cool Man!

How adorable is he? He thinks he's so cool in his glasses. He loves wearing them. Not much is new around here. Matthew has been singing around the house along with Polar Express. That's one of his favorite movies right now...along with Cars still. He is awaiting his trip to TN to see his Mister and Grammy. Today is Mister's birthday so he's called to tell him happy birthday. He loves talking on the phone, but is very limited on discussion. Enjoy the pics!

Another Proof of an Artist

OK...he's 3...I know this. This is the first time he's actually tried to stay in the lines. I am very impressed. Angie said he started coloring, looked up and said, "I'm staying in the lines"...so not completely, but better than most. So proud!
