Aunt Devin's Wedding

Matthew had been waiting for his Aunt Devin's wedding with great anticipation for a long time (even longer than the time since the last post on this blog). Devin's wedding was Saturday, June 2nd, and Matthew played the vital role of Ring Bearer (Roar!). If Matthew had his way, his responsibilities as the ring bearer would have included running between the pews and jumping up and down on the stage while wearing his Spider Man costume. Leading up to the ceremony he was about as cooperative as one might expect from a 2 year old. However, when it was time to perform he did a great job and did not distract from the beautiful ceremony. The wedding was very good, but the reception was GREAT! It was at the reception that Matthew changed from mild mannered ring bearer to Superman Dancing Machine. Everyone had a blast.
The wedding day was also very Biblical....

...A time to laugh...

...A time to weep...

...A time to dance...

...and a time to love

Spring Training

Matthew has been undergoing extensive training over the last few weeks. He is not training for a spot on the Atlanta Braves, he is training for being a big boy on team Dry Britches. Like any exercise there are good days and bad. To borrow a phrase: if peeing your pants is cool, consider him Miles Davis.

The shower cap isn't necessary to stay dry though.

Matthew loves his puzzles. The bathroom puzzle is proving harder to solve and his parents are ready for him to make the mental leap

Matthew also enjoyed the Augusta Futurity this year.

He decided to reverse the roles and use a longhorn to separate the horses.

While all the other kids were interested in petting the goats,

Matthew wanted to make sure they were well fed.

Happy Trails, Stay Dry!

Outdoor Activities

Matthew loves his new swing set and playhouse he received for Christmas. There was no chance of him waiting for warmer or dryer weather to play outside.

Climbing the ladder

And he has to try all three swings each time. "Swing Me"

He enjoys sliding down the slide, but sometimes after climbing up the rock wall or the ladder he just climbs right back down instead of taking the easy route.
