Welcome Home Matthew

Thanks for the help William

Matthew and I came home, a week ago, but I am now just getting around to updating some of the things that he has gotten to enjoy since he has come home. My Mom helped out and we were so glad that she was able to help us out and take care of us while I was taking it easy trying to let the incision from the c-section heal. Matthew got to enjoy his first family home evening activity. Kyle gave the lesson, and Bradley set up a golf course around the house. Then Bradley and Kyle took off for a few days to Utah with Grandma and Grandpa Fredericks to go to a reunion. They had a blast, and William loved all the attention he got since Matt was asleep a lot. Matt has been a good baby and is easy to soothe. He enjoys the swing and the bouncer, hurray!!! Matthew went through his first photo shoot today, and was very patient while Mom took his picture and then coroporated though a professional shoot later. He is going to fit in very well with our boys. William has really taken claim of being the big brother and is very protective of his baby brother. We are excited for Bradley and Kyle to get back tonight so we can all be back together again!!!

Okay did anybody else think that doll in the swing was Matthew at first? Anyone? ("what a tiny baby!") Then I saw him in Joe's arms, ha ha. I think he looks so much like Joe right now.
Hooray that you got a nice break to be with just the two youngest. It does sound like William will be a good big brother. You've got some great boys!
