Trunk or Treat - at Church

Tonight was "Trunk or Treat". Matthew had a lot of fun getting candy and playing the games.

Happy 3rd Gotcha Day Matthew!

I can't believe that it was 3 years ago today that we FINALLY made it back to the baby house to get our little Matthew.

I will never forget the 64 days between trip 1 and 2 that seemed like an eternity! I also will never forget the moment I saw one of the mama's bring him out of the little room where he slept at and finally he was in my arms again....... and forever! It's crazy to believe that this past May I was on the mission trip back to Matthew's baby house and into the same room where I found the love of my life!

So for today's 3rd Gotcha Day celebration we had a yummy cake and Matthew also got a dump truck as a gift. When Matthew saw the cake he yelled with a smile on his face "Daddy, My birthday cake. I'm 4". I said "No Matthew, this is your Gotcha Day cake", and he yelled in excitement "Daddy, it's my Gotcha Day cake". I don't think he gets it quite yet.

It was a fun evening at home together.

Happy Gotcha Day Matthew. Mommy and I love you soooooo much!!!!!!

Pumpkin patch & farm visit

Today we took Matthew to Lewis Farms to go on a hay ride and see the pumpkins and animals. We all had a lot of fun.

Matthew's first soccer game

Today was the end of Matthew's soccer season - 5 practices ending in a game today.

It was so much fun watching him run after the ball, get distracted, and just have a good time.

The season ended with him getting a medal for playing. We all had fun. Hopefully he will want to play again next fall.
