PreSchool Christmas Party











Matthew and his preschool class celebrated Christmas yesterday by singing songs with Star Tom and enjoying yummy food with their families. It was so CUTE to see all the children belting out Christmas carols. At the end of the event we received the present that Matthew had worked so hard on for us - a really cute card with his photo on it! We were also able to snap a photo of Matthew with Teacher Courtney (his favorite!).

Matthew Phelps!






Matthew has taken to SWIMMING in the bath tub and practicing his "dives" - which only means he puts his head under the water. I believe we've got a little fish on our hands as he can't wait for summer and swim lessons with the high school girls!

Santa Picture

Childhood Memories!! The cheesy photo with Santa Claus. Matthew was a little apprehensive but was a great sport and told Santa all about his wish list. He also told Santa how his elf ELFIE has been watching him and what a good boy he has been. Luke just looked around the room wondering what all the EXCITEMENT was for.

Pancakes for Breakfast, Please!!


So every morning I ask Matthew what he would like for breakfast and every morning he tells me pancakes. I always try to pursuade him with something different and I always get PANCAKES PLEASE MOM!! So, we always pick a shape to make the pancakes into and on this morning we made a Christmas tree.

Poor Little Luke!


Luke clearly isn't amused by his brothers antics! HOWEVER, he looks pretty CUTE.

Oh Christmas Tree!


We got our tree on the 7th of December! We love going to the Healdsburg Kiwanis Tree Lot as they put all the monies they earn back into scholarships and programs for the children. We ALWAYS get a silver tip and this year it is just beautiful. She proudly stands about 10.5 feet high and SMELLS amazing.

What happened to November?

I seriously have no idea what happened to November!! I guess having a newborn in the house REALLY does mess with the schedule. We were busy! We had house guests, another post placement visit for Luke's adoption, lots of dinner parties and then celebrated Thanksgiving with our dear friends the Cabrals. Anyway...now that we are half way into December I hope to update the blog more often!!
