Our Delayed First Easter

Due to the trip to Philly, we celebrated Easter a weekend late.  We had our own egg hunt with the cousins, which only one of them understood, but all had fun.  The funny thing, to me at least, is the last few pictures.  Trying to get them to all sit still and look at the camera is impossible, but makes for some entertaining photos.

Halloween! (a.k.a. - Day to Torture Your Baby)

We went to Auntie Melissa's and Uncle Edmund's house for Halloween.  Again, this is one of those times where the pictures speak for themselves.  We did get in a little trick or treating before the rain started.  Gabriel was dressed as Donkey, Benjamin as Puss N' Boots, and Matthew as Shrek.  Uncle Andrew was a Monster.  And some of the other kiddies in attendance were Batman, a Cars character, and a princess.  Uncle Edmund made us all chili.  Melissa made the desserts.  Gabriel screamed the whole way home. 

Wait for it.

Wait for it...

Wait....

And he's off!

We're cruel.

Where ya goin' Donkey?

After trick or treating, we again tried for a much more casual group shot in the nursery.  You can see how that went too...

Poor Matthew

Gabriel is trying to eat him. 

Introducing...

My newest, most handsome nephew (under the age of 2), Matthew James Snyder...born October 15 somewhere between 9:20 and 9:30.  It's hard to say exactly because he was born in a Dodge parked outside of the hosptial.  9lbs and 3oz of loveable, kissable, beautiful baby.  I'm currently drafting plans on how I can get him away from his parents and bring him to my house.  Congrats to the Snyders.  For more on the Dodge birth, go here.

I think we're a match...

He could pass for my son...

Love these guys.  So happy.
