Emerald Crest!

We went to the beach with the May's 2 weekends ago and had the best time... next time there will be FOUR kiddos in the mix :)

Hudson's shower!!!

I was given by far the prettiest shower I have ever been to (three weeks ago)... thank you girls!!!

sunday with matthew

walking to Nana & Papa's from church...


walking all over the golf course with daddy...
(dad & gus calculated all the holes gus played and the 2 of them walked a mile... needless to say, M slept really well that night!)

the deck is DONE!!

I forgot to post the pics from the last phase, but it was a shorter work day, so they had only finished a small portion of the railing. Now all we have to do is find some caps for the posts and plant pretty things all around it! Anyway, what an accomplishment!! Very, very proud :)

BIG night @ our house!!!

Matthew slept in his new room for the first time last night!! He's been watching the progression of his room for a few weeks now and thankfully, he was very excited about the change. The big surprise was a new train set & table, so as you can see, he was in heaven with that!





Big boy in a big bed!!! We were a little nervous about the unknown, but Matthew did GREAT! After our normal routine of songs & kisses, he went to sleep without any problems.






We snuck in before we went to bed to get this picture! He slept so well all night despite the horrific thunderstorm that had us awake a lot of the night!


PS his room is not 100% done yet... but it's close! as soon as it's complete, we'll post pictures.

fun at the park!

On Wednesday, we all went to Torreya State Park to hike a little trail and play on the playground. Despite being attacked by mosquitoes (which is why there isn't a picture of Preston), it was a fun time!
