Merry Christmas

Here are some pictures of Matthew's first Christmas.  Some pics are from my Uncle Josh's Christmas Eve party and some are of Christmas morning.  And, I took all the pictures with my new camera (thanks to my twin brother Nick and my Dad for picking out my camera). So...here it goes.

He pulled up on this toy all on his own...my little guy is getting so big!

Matthew and Papa on Christmas morning...he loves the paper....

..with his cousin enjoying his first football...my little athlete...

All of his gifts from Nana, Papa, Uncle Jake, and Aunt Maho...

Matthew's first Christmas...He is soooo CUTE!!!!!

Matthew with his Great-Grandparents...Grandma and Grandpa Elicio

Matthew with Nanna Welliver.....

                                      Some of my family...My sister Kathleen, my brother Eric and my                                                Mom and Dad...,

And Matthew with one of his cousins, this is Keona, his oldest cousin who is six years old. 

I made it!

Well Matthew and I finally made it to New Mexico on Thursday afternoon.  So far we have had a blast! Today we went shopping for Christmas with my mom and my sister...it was so fun coming back to where I grew up and running into old friends. I am so excited for the rest of the two weeks I'm going to be here. I will try to keep up to date on the blogs of this vacation. The only thing I have to complain about is not having my husband here to share this awesome experience (and it is or first Christmas with Matthew :( and he can't be here). I already miss him terribly (pathetic huh). Well I will see him soon enough, hopefully the next blog will have some pictures. 

Never ending snot and fevers:(

Well last week us three Dills were sick and Matthew had his first emergency visit when his temp. hit 103.8 . Poor little guy, he got the worst of it I think. He was up all night last night with a temp again, but I had better control this time and we started him on an antibiotic today. So, naturally, I am exhausted right now. But, the good news is next week Matthew and I are heading to New Mexico for two weeks and my twin said he was sending us a camera for Christmas (so I won't have to take crappy pictures with my phone). So that's all folks (for now).

UPDATE

Well, a lot has been going on in our little Dill family. Pictures will have to come later....for starters I hope everyone had a very happy Thankgiving! And as for Halloween, Matthew was a huge, overstuffed pumpkin. Nathan and I were farmers of course:) For Thanksgiving we had an awesome feast at Granny Fishers. During all this commotionMatthew has started to kind of crawl, yay! He doesn't get very far but it's a start, and before I know it I'm going to be baby proofing the place. Oh, and soon our lease is up and we can move (we tried to move earlier but were unsuccessful). That's it for now I will try to update more in the future, no promises though.

Crappiest week ever...just glad I'm alive

Well some of you have heard...Nathan and I were robbed last Friday. What makes the week worse is the same day our apartment was robbed, our electricity was turned off due to miscommunication. So the blog I wanted to post will never happen because our computer was stolen along with all of our pictures. But on the bright side, we are alive and unharmed. So what is the next Dill adventure....? Moving again, yay (I say that wiyh all the sarcasm in the world)! I will try to post a more positive blog next week maybe i can capture Matthew saying "Dadda" (He learned that word yesterday).
