Grandma says, "Claims of loud burping unsubstantiated"

My parents (aka Grandma Linda and Grandpa Frank) came to meet Matthew this weekend. It has been beyond wonderful to have help! Grandma Linda does state that my claims of Matthew crying and burping a lot remain unproven -- she has found him to be a perfect little angel. She also believes that the photos I have posted have been misleading, as Matthew is much, much cuter in real life (if that's even possible!) Here is a photo that got the "Grandma Linda seal of approval."
Cameron had reveled in having Grandpa Frank here, and has engaged him not only in Superhero play, but also some new favorites including "McDonald's drive-thru" and "Trick or treating." Grandpa Frank has been a good sport. Cameron has also made several requests for "boys only" outings such as a visit to the pool and the hardware store. If this "boys only" thing keeps up, I'm going to be lonely! Cameron is still very excited about Matthew -- "big brother" gifts from several family members have been quite helpful! Yesterday, Cameron said very sweetly, "I'm so proud of being a big brother!"

We have gotten so many e-mails from so many of you -- thank you, thank you, thank you! Eventually, I will e-mail each of you back, but at the moment the blog is the quickest way for me to keep every one in the loop! Please know that your congratulations and well wishes mean so much to us!

We are home again and wanted to say what a great visit we had. Matthew is a little doll. He looked so big in many photos, so I was surprised that he has scrawny little arms and legs just like Cameron did. I'm sure he will "bulk up" before we know it!

It was fun going to the pool and the fair with Cameron. He is doing a fine job being a big brother.

Have a fun visit later this week with Grandma and Grandpa Trumpy!

Congratulations!!! WE are so very excited for you all. Matthew is adorable. I bet Cameron is doing a great job with his little brother. Take care of yourselves.
Congrats,
