Alleluia!!

After 3 and 1/2 years with the butterflies, they are finally gone!! Our master bathroom had these lovely butterflies on the tiles along with all original everything from the 60's so we are super excited about our bathroom redo. I am so proud of Paul because he did most of the work himself and with his dad. It looks great!! Thanks guys!

Before, please notice the butterflies :)


After :)



Since Paul had been working so hard on the bathroom, I decided to surprise him and take he and Matthew to the aquarium in New Orleans. I thought it was a great idea until the next day, Matthew started throwing up. I think he picked up a virus while we were there...Must have been those turtles and fish I let him play on even though I cleaned off his hands when he finished!! Paul and I started not feeling well a few days later, but we are better now. I think Matthew is still trying to recover some :(

Paul and I are also having another baby!! That's right, another one. I am due Feb 22nd, and we are excited! We will have our hands full because they will be 16 months apart, but we can't wait. I am excited about the idea of Matthew having a brother or sister so close. Hopefully they will be best friends!

I love this boy!

I got brave the other day and decided to let Matthew play with his food. I was feeding him and he kept reaching for it, so I gave in and just let him go to town! He was loving it and laughing as he slid the bowl from side to side across the food on his tray. It was all over his hands, face, clothes and everything! Needless to say, he did not enjoy the cleaning up part. He is so much fun the days and is getting braver and braver. He has taken a few steps without holding on to anything, so I think he will be walking fairly soon!






Roscoe just turned 3! Every year I make him a "dog cake" with the best wet dog food I can find (he always get the boring, dry dog food and maybe a few scraps from me every now and then) I also put a milk bone in the middle. He LOVES it and wishes every day was his birthday! He has been a pretty good dog with Matthew. He doesn't bother his toys and he mostly leaves him alone. He does try to play with him and Matthew LOVES it. We do have to watch them because Matthew will sneak up on him and scare him and he does not like it at all!!!
