#1 and #2

#1 - During a recent trip made by the Matlack family, Aunt Gracia taught Elijah to say "Aw, Man!" So here we are displaying our skills. Also, notice that anything Daddy does/says is awesome and will be imitated by this little monkey!

#2 - Daniel took some pretty talented photos and I made some special shirts several weeks ago to help us announce some special news to friends and family.

So if you haven't seen the Facebook album yet. FYI. I am 10-weeks pregnant and our little #2 is due on June 5th of next year! 

#1 is going to be a great big brother!

No Reason...

Mostly I just wanted to reflect a bit on how I should be living such a thankful life. What a struggle that is at times! Especially when you have your own plans and they don't necessarily match up with God's perfect plans! But seriously, what could be better than what He has given me already!

My sweet, sweet boy who is turning into a Curious George!

Wonderful friends to watch our baby for his first sleepover!

Dear friends who can be happy AND sad with you

A new trash can that keeps babies out :P

The sun - even if it's too hot to go to the park


Not necessarily my most exciting post ever...but I needed my own reminder of how great I've got it.
Life's Good!

Pathetic.

Far from the title of this post. I believe the actual video is adorable. I wanted to post to show you his excellent walking and dancing skills. Yeah. He's a real groover. 

But what is pathetic is... 

a) how messy this snapshot makes our house look. Whoops!

b) the reason I recorded this video. I thought if I could get a cute pudgy baby to dance to my favorite song by my favorite artist that maybe I could get free tickets to his concert. Uh...maybe exploitation? But still. If Mat Kearney decides to check out this video maybe he'd give me a couple tickets? Who knows...

P.S. The only time he dances is at 9seconds. Told ya. He's a real beat boy. :P
