Grandpa Egg's wish to have a fellow gardener in the family may come true. Yesterday I took Matthew in the backyard, and he immediately gravitated to the flowers. He stood there touching them for several minutes.


Matthew is learning new things all the time. Here he is practicing the "S" sound:

Both our computer and Matthew caught a virus about a week ago, and I think we have finally gotten things back to normal. Actually, things were pretty much normal by Tuesday, but it took me a few extra days to figure out how to get the Internet up and running again.

Look how sick this little face looks:


Before the illness struck, Matthew had fun playing with some of the toys he inherited from his cousin Nick

Last Saturday we had a fun outing to see our cousin Matt play in the CCS championship baseball game and WIN! Our little Matthew got ready for the game by trying on his dad's baseball cap:





We also had a mini "Lane Day" celebration yesterday. Lane is my oldest nephew - almost 15. We heard that his friends at school decided to have Lane Day by dressing like him - plaid shorts and long socks. Here was our attempt to join in:


I love Matthew's expression here:



We're glad to be back on the Internet! Hopefully no more viruses come our way!
