life is good

These are pictures of Matthew playing in the backyard. He entertains himself really well outside. He enjoys picking up sticks and carrying them around, or putting them in the fountain. And the tractor is always a big hit.






This is the box that one of my birthday presents came in. (Thanks Dad and Chris for the cookbook stand). Dad told me to tape it up and mail it to him.

This picture is in our shower, one of Matthew's favorite places to play in our house. He especially enjoys it when there is still water on the ground and he can splash in the puddles. He will also climb into the shower with whoever is in there.


The story behind this outfit. Doug and I were at Costco and we walked by this rack that had about 30 different spring dresses for little girls. I stopped to peruse, thinking about dressing up Kyler(?) for Easter next year. I remember being a little girl and picking out a new Easter dress, and loving it. And it was always agony to have to wait the two weeks to wear the new dress. Add to this that I already have a Valentine's Day outfit for her (super cheap at Old Navy the week after, couldn't resist) and I started feeling a little guilty for not getting excited about the holidays with Matthew. Now, I foresee that "dressing up" won't be that important to him, but I decided that this year I would get him an Easter outfit. And here you have it. Super cute.
