Pumpkin Time

After Grandma’s long vacation, Matty and Grandma were finally reunited Saturday after almost 2 months. Matty definitely remembered Grandma… As she parked her car in front of our house and walked up the sidewalk, he started laughing and smiling ear-to-ear. We then headed out to Milburn Orchards to find the perfect pumpkin!

Matty went last year when he was about 6 months old – look at the change!

Two Boys & a Little Lady

Sunday we headed over to Carter's house to watch the Eagles game, but more importantly, to meet baby Sophia! She is such a sweet little girl! Matty was quite smitten by Sophia, and was so loving towards her. He put is boyish rough-housing to the side while he loved on Sophia.

The boys watching the game while bouncing!

Way too comfortable in that Lazy Boy!

Trouble x 2!

Sleepy Sophia...

My best attempt at a picture of all three...

Mushrooms!

Today we went to the Mushroom Festival in Kennett Square! Although the weather wasn't the greatest, we had a lot of fun. The rain held out for most of our day.

Here is Matty at the Mushroom Festical last year - just 5 months old!

And here he is this year - 17 months old!

Lots of big trucks in the parade...

I swear that he was having fun - he was just being a tough guy here...

Matty had lunch at one of Mommy & Daddy's old hangouts - Half Moon Restaurant & Saloon

Unfortunately, the day ended up being rainy, but we were ready to leave anyway... someone was getting sleepy...

Hangin' at the Playground

Today was the unofficial end of summer, and a perfect day for the playground! We spent the afternoon at the Can-Do Playground in North Wilmington. It is a very cool playground designed for all kids including those with disabilities. Matty loved it. He smacked his head SO hard, but didn't even shed a tear since he was too busy! Before we headed over to Can-Do, we went to Chik-fila for FREE chicken sandwiches for anyone who wears their team, hence the Eagles gear...

Happy Birthday Carter!

Today we celebrated Carter's First Birthday! It was a lot of fun for the boys to hang out together again!

Four toddlers can sure wreck a room!

A cake all to himself!

There was no stopping Carter once he got into it!

Someone's getting sleeepppy...

We thought we would try to take a picture of the boys together... it wasn't as easy as it used to be!

Carter looks like he is actually enjoying Matty's foot on his face...

Brady Who?

Our misbehavin' hound has turned into a show dog practically overnight with a little gem called the Gentle Leader. It is a like a collar that goes around his nose and neck. It prevents him from pulling, jumping, and almost every other bad thing he does. Brady has quite a reputation around the neighborhood, but it has all changed now. Neighbors look at us in disbelief as we leisurely stroll by with our handsome, obedient pup. It is completely humane and does not hurt him at all - it just steers his nose and applies gentle pressure to his natural calming points. It is genius - now if it could only stop him from stealing paper products!

What a face! I told you he's a show dog! Next stop, Eukanuba National Championships - lookout!
