Another Day in the Life of Matthew

Matthew is so much fun these days. He likes watching other people play out Thomas on YouTube. He has learned from YouTube that trains like to crash and fall off the tracks. He spends hours playing with his trains. He has different voices for the different trains and they have conversations. He also likes me to video tape him playing with his trains.

Big Joe Watch link added

I added a link to a blog that Joey's sister is keeping up for him. Just in case anyone wants to see how he is doing it seems to be kept up do date and has some pretty accurate info on the latest goings on.

RED RIVER NEW MEXICO 2008

This is my last New Mexico Post. Each year we have a blast and it is fun to get together as a family for one week where there are no phone calls or work getting in the way, it is all about the family.

Matthew would take long naps after skiing and once he woke up it was time to go sledding. If you click on the first picture to enlarge it, Matthew's expression says it all.

At the cabin, nothing to do but compare bellies. One person about six months pregnant, the other person a really good eater.

Matthew's first time skiing!!!! He had a blast. At first he skied in between his dad's legs and then to the side. Then Clay and Allan would glide him to each other. Finally, by the third day he was skiing all by himself.

Getting ready to go ski and sitting in the back of Grandpa's truck

The morning of day one the girls and Matthew went on a walk. The first pics are right outside our cabin. Matthew had tons of giggles over throwing snow balls and sliding down the piles of snow. Mean while the boys went skiing. Clay some how fell off the side of the mountain, hitting trees and landing in this pile of trees. If you look at the tree to the left in the middle you can see where his skis left a mark on the tree. Allan saw everything and thought that Clay was seriously injured. These pics were taken a few days after the accident.
