M is for Mischief

Happy Saturday everyone!

Matthew is adjusting well to his new babysitter (our cousin, Jo Jo). He really likes it there.

That makes life easier all around knowing he is happy where he is and having fun while I am at work. Being away from him again is a challenge for me, but it makes me enjoy the time I have with him more. Take a look at some pictures we took at home of our little man being a troublemaker. These are some good ones that really show his silly personality! I hope this finds everyone enjoying a beautiful and well deserved weekend!

Love,

Andrea, Todd, & Matthew

Cute ones

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW READ VANBAAREN!

Matthew's Busy Birthday Weekend!

Hello Everyone,

First we would like to thank everyone for all of the phone calls, cards, and e-mails wishing Matthew a happy first birthday. We are very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. We started Matthew's birthday on Friday by going to the mall with a friend and then visiting Nanny at work where Matthew opened his very first birthday gift (Thank you, John!). Then we went to went and got his pictures taken at the Picture People. After that, we went out to Applebees where Matthew was sung to. He loved that!!! On Saturday, we went to a friend's wedding (Congrats Erin & Bob!) and then on Sunday we had a very small, initimate family party for Matthew. Boy, he liked the cake once he got into it! Here are some pictures from the weekend! Enjoy! And COMMENT!!! :) Love, Andrea, Todd, & Matthew

A busy weekend! Labor Day 07'

Hi everyone,

We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! We hope everyone did too and got to enjoy our beautiful weather! We ventured down to Kingston for a quick visit. Todd and I went to the Yankees game on Sunday and Matthew stayed with Mema and Papa. Then we spent Monday hanging out at my parents. When we got back to the Albany area we headed to our friend, Adam's to finish out Labor Day weekend with some friends. Overall, it was a nice weekend! It was a much needed relaxing weekend, that's for sure : ) Anyway, here are some pictures from our long weekend!~Andrea
