More pictures!!!!






Technology can be great but when something goes wrong it really sucks. It is now 6:20 am, and I spent from 1:30 am to 2:45 am posting pictures and writing on the blog, and then it wouldn't save so I lost it all! So anyway, I will only post maybe 3 pictures now so I can get some more sleep as I won't be sleeping in a bed again until Friday night!







Mom and Matthew hanging out - I'm sure going to miss you guys!




Wednesday was an interesting day, because when we got to the baby house, I wasn't allowed in the change area b/c we had different caregivers that evening. So I waited in the locker/entrance room and Jennifer said that Matthew was looking around for me the whole time she was changing him. Sure going to be sad when I don't see him for 3 weeks!! During our visitation period, Matthew wasn't as interested in the toys as he usually is. Instead, when I was lying on the floor just a little ways from him, he would turn himself, see me and eagerly make his way towards me and then put his hand out to me! He did this several times and it was almost like he knew I was leaving, and we wouldn't get to see each other for awhile! I sure hope he doesn't forget me!



Look at the two angels!


Hopefully we get to visit either this morning or in the afternoon, b/c otherwise I won't see him b/c later in the evening we must be at the airport! I really need that one last visit. I know he has me wrapped around his finger and I love it - Matthew means the world to me! Yes, I'm very proud to be his Dad!


What's up?

Okay, just one more picture. I just can't help myself!



This is still one of my favourite pics!

Matthew is sooo cute! As Dana says, you just want to reach out into the picture and give him a hug! Don't worry dad, it sounds like Matthew is going to make up for lost time when you are all home! Jenn, you know the saying a picture means a thousand words: well the smile on your face in the picture would make a dictionary!! You all look extremely happy!! Thanks for the pictures. Kaitlyn asked when we can go shopping for him. There is something in his face that says: "I'm cute, spoil me!" And Man will we spoil him!!! Talk soon, Love, the mcs

Congratulations!! He is such a cutie and I'm so glad the wait is almost over! I know you're anxious to bring him home, and I trust the Lord will bring all of you safely back. I have been and will continue praying for you!
