Matthew Alan

This is our little Matthew.

He will be joining our family sometime late February.
David is so excited to have a little brother.  We took him in to the ultrasound so we were all together.  The tech asked me what I thought we were having (by the way - I thought we were having a girl - I was wrong) and I asked Dustin.  Dustin just looked at me.  The tech then asked David what he thought we were having.  David's response was "A baby!"  After we all chuckled about it she asked David if it was a boy or girl and David excitedly exclaimed "A Boy!"  David was right.
For right now David calls his little brother BoJo BoJo.  We had to make sure he understood that this was not going to be the name of his brother.  David knows that it's okay to call him BoJo BoJo while he is still inside but once he comes out his name is Matthew.
This ultrasound went similar to David's.  Matthew would be still enough to find the picture the tech needed but would move just as the picture was being taken.  There were some pictures we were able to get right away but most of them had to be taken a couple of times.
We are so excited to have Matthew join our family.

Denver Museum of Nature & Science

Better late than never right?
November 6 - 14 was Denver Arts Week.  We only participated on November 7th because 11 of the Denver museums were FREE!  We drove down Saturday afternoon to Cherry Creek Shopping Center for free parking, ate dinner at California Pizza Kitchen and rode the FREE shuttle over to the museum.  David was really excited about riding the bus (he has been on a city bus riding kick - that's all he ever wants to do).  The museum of nature and science was a great pick for us.  We of course went to see the dinosaurs first - David loved it and would run from exhibit to exhibit.  We were also able to spend some time in the Space exhibit and we also visited the Gems & Minerals exhibit.
We learned a few things while at the museum.  First that the Denver Museum of Nature and Science is the fourth largest of it's kind in the nation.  Second, that David has a two exhibit attention span.  Third, free things means lots and lots of people.
If you ever get the chance to go to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, I highly recommend it.  I wish we could have stayed there longer or that there hadn't been so many people so we had a little more space but I would love to go back.  That probably won't happen so everyone else needs to go for us.

Skippyjon Jones

Here is David in his Skippyjon Jones costume.  He loved this costume and had so much fun wearing.  After a while he was even telling people that his mom made his costume.

Snow Days

Wednesday it started to snow.

David made some new friends who were kind enough to play with him since my snow clothes don't fit so well these days.

Thursday still lots of snow on the ground - almost 2 feet.  I took David sledding at the park and he loved it!  Sledding is one of his new favorite winter activities.

Friday still snow on the ground but it's melting quickly.  I took David sledding again, he still loved it.
