2-GO!!!!

Matthew is learning to count, but he skips numbers 1 and 3! This is a video clip of him counting to throw Mogely's toy! He says, "2-GO!!!" After Mogely runs after it, Matthew has to run too...panting the whole way just like a dog! It is hilarious!

A Tribute to my Daddy!!! Love, Matthew

Dear Daddy,

I wanted to take you on a trip down our very own "memory lane"!!!! We make good buddies! So enjoy and don't miss me too much!
Love, Matty!!!
