We just had new windows put in our house. The biggest change we made was putting a sliding door from the kitchen to the patio.

Going to a Play-off Game

Scott and I decided to splurge and go to one of the Giants' play-off games. (It was my first time ever going to a play-off game in any professional sport.)

On our way to the park, we saw a lot of fans who were dressed in orange and black, but this guy was our favorite:




We were in good company at the park - Willie Mays, MC Hammer, some members of the Grateful Dead and Journey.


Of course, they were nowhere near our seats, but we had a great view and we were shielded from the rain.


Tim Lincecum pitching:


Today Scott was getting ready to draft his fantasy basketball team, and Matthew couldn't resist typing on the keyboard. I pulled out my old laptop so he could have his own buttons to press.


It didn't last long though. I guess Matthew was tired because he fell asleep on the floor in the office.


Here's a fun video from bathtime last night:

What does Matthew say?

Halloween fun around the house and at Disneyland!

We are excited that Halloween is almost here. We made these delicious tombstone brownies at Grandma Egg's house about two weeks ago. Yum!


Matthew continues to enjoy opening and shutting doors. Look at that smile.


Matthew is learning the value of good dental hygiene. It's never too soon!


Last week, we had a super fun trip to Disneyland with Scott's family. We flew down to Anaheim with Scott's parents and met up with the rest of the family there. Here is Matthew talking to Grandpa Egg while we were waiting at the airport:


Here we are at Disneyland!




Come on, Scott, am I really that scary?


After a tearful/traumatic meeting with Geppetto, we didn't let Matthew look too closely at Jack Skellington or Sally:


Riding the train around Disneyland:


Our little Mouseketeers:


Scott and I were excited to ride Casey Jr's train, but Matthew was grumpy from lack of a proper nap:


Even Dumbo couldn't cheer him up:


Matthew and Grace looked very cute in their Halloween PJs.

Matthew playing with friends, Jeremiah and Daniel, in the backyard:


They had so much fun running around:


Daniel pushing Matthew over:


These injuries are NOT the result of Daniel's push. But they were incurred not far from that location.


Matthew and I were going into the backyard and Matthew ran ahead and tripped. He bumped his head against the concrete and scraped his knee. It was very sad! He's all healed up now.

Here's a fun picture from Tom's birthday celebration:


And here are some pictures from the night I was in charge of bathtime (usually Scott's jurisdiction) and started playing with Matthew's hair:
