With love

-Just a few tidbits to savor-

A favorite Matt story...
One day, driving home from visiting Lori's folks, Abby started hollering. The mirror only can show us one kid from the front seat since Abby is turned around, so it is often trained on Matt. Lori looked back, stifled a giggle and called Dave. Here's the conversation:
L: Want to know what your kids are doing? Here's Abby - (hold the phone in the back seat so crying is clearly heard).
D: Oh that's nice, how about Matthew?
L: He has his fingers plugging his ears.

Words Matt's started saying:
help (hep), stuck, stick, diaper (dipe), click (like for the carseat buckle), ham (for taylor ham and bacon)
Hi-ya and raising a leg like a karate kick

And some great pics and video.

Baby love and a day at the Park

We are enjoying a visit from Matt and Abby's Grandpa Dave (and we think he's enjoying his visit, too.)




The trip included a visit to the park complete with slides and swings








It was Abby's first trip to the park, and as she slept the entire time, we don't think she will remember it.


Grammie Bonnie came for dinner and we got this great shot of the three:


And here's a little baby love to make you really ooh and aah...

Kisses for Abby

Keeping Busy

We are keeping busy these days juggling the needs of two small kiddos, but enjoying most every moment of it. This is a mix of pictures from the past couple of weeks.
