We had a big treat this weekend....a 2 day visit from Andrew and Zach. Matthew was so excited to see them and we loved seeing him interact so much and seek them out to play with them. He would just crawl into their laps, asked to be picked up and grabbed their hands. All weekend we heard "I want to pay with cousins/Boys, come pay wif me/I want boys sit next to Maffew".....you get the picture. It was so sweet, made us both tear up. Saturday we played at home in the afternoon and went to boomers in the evening.
Andrew and Zach love the crazy rides.....
Matthew thought it was so fun to watch.
We asked him if he wanted to try riding it and he said "Noooooooooooo. Dat one vewy too scawy!"
Sunday we went out for a yummy breakfast and watched videos and played in the afternoon. We dropped of Matthew with my mom for dinner while we went out for our family favorite....Shabu Shabu. Mmmmm....as Matthew says "Dewicious!"
Stopped by McDonalds for apple fries and to play in the jungle gym
Andrew tried to teach Mark to solve a rubicks cube. Andrew is a whiz at it and his best time this weekend was 1 min 31 seconds! WOW! When we got home the boys played a little more before crashing.
The next day our friends the Roas came over for a swim/lunch date.
The kids were so adorable!
Matthew must have gotten his taste buds from me because he loves his Daddy's salsa. The kids decorated then inhaled the frosting on cupcakes for dessert.

Today was Matthew's first day of school. I could tell he was a little nervous at first but he did well.
How cute is he?
Matthew's teacher and shadow. Both are very nice.
I have mixed emotions about Matthew going back to school. Even during the more challenging times I have loved our summer together. Last summer we were still in a very intense ABA program as he was under 3 and quite honestly he was not in that place where we could enjoy the experiences with him then that we do now. We are proud of all he has accomplished but want to hold these special years close. We love you little fella'!

Andrew and Zach are growing up so fast. They are so handsome. Matthew looks like he luvs his cuz.
Going back to school means change, new faces, new environment, not easy. We also had a lot of anxiety around here but Kristina and Matthew are growing up, they can see it is hard work but also fun. I am proud of you Matthew for facing life with a big smile. That smile will keep taking you far "little fella" as your mommy would say.
Syl, he is precious and it is so fun to see Matthew and your Andrew and Zach enjoy each other. What a cute three-some.
