Captain Matty

The Pirate to end all Pirates!

He probably led the Russian fleet in the 16th Century.

Lombardi Ranch 2008

People come from miles around to Lombardi Ranch in Santa Clarita Valley.

Just acres and acres of farmland covered in pumpkins. Matthew enjoyed climbing on everything, petting the animals, picking out pumpkins and of course the train ride.

This is his 3rd year in a row of going.

Ice Tots 1

Matthew officially graduated Tiny Tots Ice Skating lessons 2 weeks ago and immediately enrolled in Ice Tots 1 which is the next gradient. No bar to hold onto and parents are told to backoff. Matthew got his own pair of hockey skates and next week I'll get a picture with his new customized hockey helmet also. All he wants to know is when can he get a stick and go play hockey. Go Red Wings!

Papa's 80th Birthday

I'm trying to get more recent pictures posted here so the nex few posts will not be too wordy.

I"m also in the middle of putting Matthew's 4th Birthday party together as soon as we wrap up Halloween!

This is from Brian's Dad's 80th Birthday Party over Labor Day weekend.

First Day of School

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, been very busy with Little Man and his new school and social calendar. Here are a couple of pics from his first day of school and also some crafts he worked on the first couple of weeks. He loves it and his teacher! I enrolled Matthew in "Kids in Motion" also once a week. Coach Ingrid comes to school on Thursday and does constant motion activities for 30-40 minutes. He always sleeps very well on Thursday nights.

The first picture is Matthew refusing to get out of the car, then a couple as he settles in with new friends and then hugging his teacher at the end of the day.
