Matthew is 8!

Well Matthew turned 8 yesterday! We had a

little birthday celebration when he got up and

opened his gifts. He had been begging for that

giant catfish pillow since right after Christmas.

He was so excited to get it (I don't know why it

is so ugly) and slept with it last night. He's other

gift is a trip to the Columbia, SC Zoo. We are

headed there tomorrow morning for the day or

ever how long it takes to enjoy the whole place.

I can't believe my baby is 8!

The big catfish pillow!

He also got some new professional speed cups!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! We had

a nice quiet evening with snacks, movies and Wii

games. It was fun and everybody made it to midnight!

We had our toast with our sparkling apple cider

and off to bed we all went. Hope everyone else

had a nice evening as well! May we all continue

to be as blessed as we have been and thankful for

what we have.

Hoping that 2010 brings a better job for myself and

happiness for David in the job that he has, and of course

continued health for us and our children. We hope these

things for all of you as well, again HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Matthew had this mouth piece that lights up his

mouth. You can't really see it in the picture, but

it was funny!
