Labor Day Weekend Fun!

Started off our Labor Day weekend by going to the beach! This was the first time for Matthew and the girls haven't been since they were 1. We all had so much fun! Abby and Chloe cried when we left. They wanted to stay longer but Matthew was exhausted.

Walking and I've got Proof!

Matthew is doing much better with his walking and this morning I was actually able to get him on video!

He's a Rocking Boy!

Matthew's been crazy about the wooden rocking horses that his Grandpa handmade. Every chance he gets he crawls over to them and plays with them. A few night ago he made his way onto one and the rocking just came naturally.

This video is especially for you Grandpa!

Happy Birthday Uncle Laszlo!

11 Months Old & Almost Walking

Maybe it's because he's the youngest or maybe it's just because the girls were a bit behind him, but I'm just not ready for my little man to be cruising all around my house. Alas I have nothing to do with his progress and whether I like it or not this little man will be 1 in less than a month and may be walking for his birthday. Its funny how we feel so different with our children. I remember we couldn't wait for the girls to walk. So excited!!! Don't get me wrong I am excited but its definitely different! He is already a handful and a world of a difference from my then so shy girls.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to my Dad and Husband! Dad I am lucky to be your daughter and thank you for being a wonderful Dad! Joe you are an amazing husband and father. The kids aren't old enough to tell you but they soon will be! They sure are growing fast!
