Happy 4th Birthday Morgan!

Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday dear Morgan,

Happy Birthday to you...

and many more...!

Dear Morgan

Four years ago you changed our world in an instant. We should have known you would be a feisty one!

Every day you challenges us like we have never been challenged before - you are teaching us patience, love, grace, and more patience. You are a strong, beautiful, caring, determined little girl who we have been blessed to have in our hearts and to love so dearly.

May you have many more birthdays and may we continue to learn and grow from one another.

We love you and Matty with all our hearts,
Mom and Dad

Summer Getaway

We were a little spoiled this weekend.

We woke up to this:


We spent the weekend eating,


playing in the water,


trying to get out of the life preserver,



jumping on the trampoline,


eating some more,


riding in the boat,


trying not to be blown away,


trying to like the boat (Matthew, not me),



trying to get comfortable in the boat,


learning to drive a boat,


enjoying time together,


learning how to fish,


catching fish,


thinking worms are gross,


making (and eating) ice cream,


spending time outside,


being silly,
having girl time,


being just plain cute,


and waking up to this. Again.


Yes, we were spoiled this weekend.

Happy Birthday William and Maggie!

We hope you have your cake (or banana pudding)

and eat it too!

Love,
Brian, Jen, Morgan, and Matty

1st Day of School

Morgan - Aug 2009 - 3 years

Today Morgan started her first day of Pre-K! She is such a big girl now (remember this and this?) She was a little hesitant to go to school today as she has been out of preschool for four weeks attending camps and our family vacation. However, she jumped backed into the routine and had a great day.

After school I noticed she had her pajama shorts on under her dress (thanks Dad!). She was so proud to tell us that she showed all of her friends her PJ's. That was almost as funny as realizing that my 'undies' were stuck (good 'ol static cling) to Matty's blanket at school!

What a perfect way...
