Our Latest Trip

Last weekend we spent time with the family down in French Lick, Indiana. It use to be a very famous location where the mobsters would hang out and gamble. I grew up not far from there. Here are some of the pictures of the newly renovated West Baden Springs Hotel, the French Lick Springs Hotel, and of course, Matthew...

Matthew at 13 months

West Baden Springs Hotel: Used to be known as the "8th Wonder of the World." It was the largest dome built until about 20 years ago.

No longer an infant!

Matthew is now a toddler! He turned 1 year old last Wednesday. He learned how to walk three weeks ago, and of course, now he is into everything. The little bugger is getting pretty quick. He is also starting to get quite the little attitude, but it is fun to watch him develop, both physically and mentally.

Nine months going on ten years!

Matthew is now crawling like a champ and will be walking before you know it. He already loves to walk behind his push/ride toy. He is steadily getting faster with it. He can say "ma ma," "da da," and "ba ba." I know I say this a lot, but he is growing up sooooo fast! Have you ever noticed that ALL children's toys come in these same colors?

p.s. We finally got his hair cut again. So, he looks a little less like a hippie now.

Matthew's First Snow!!!

We have about a foot of snow on the ground and zero degree temps, right now..."global warming," huh?

I'm a big boy!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

This is how Matthew spent his New Year's eve.

He got his first potty at 7 months, and he actually used it when we set him on it (but I don't think he realized it)!!!

Almost 6 months now!!!

Here are a couple of our latest pictures of Matthew. Its amazing how fast he is growing up! I know everyone has warned us, but until you live through it, you just don't know.

To be, or not to be?

Mark 16:16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Kind of like saying...

Whoever opens the book and reads every verse will finish the Bible, but whoever does not open the book will never finish.

God gave us the command to be baptized for a reason. Not just to hear himself talk!!! Who are we to pick and choose which of God's commands we should abide by???
