Carolina On My Mind

Jeff and I went to the UNC-CH and Georgia Tech game on Saturday with my parents. It was Carolina's homecoming and I love to visit my alma mater. Visiting Carolina always brings back great memories of times with great friends. Of course, Jeff and I had to go by the Old Well, where he proposed, and the site of our wedding reception, the Carolina Inn. The campus was beautiful with the fall colors and it was fun to watch all the little Carolina fans running around. It was baby Costa's first Carolina game-she had a great time! Unfortunately we lost, per usual this year, 7-0, but we still had fun.








Don't worry all my fellow tarheels-basketball season in on the way!

My parents also spent the weekend with us in Raleigh, so Dad could paint the nursery for us. We had fun visiting and Dad did a great job, so now we can get everything else together for our little girl-I'll post pictures as we go. It's hard to tell from the picture, the color is a light pink. Thanks Grandpa!

Let's Go Swimming!

We have been trying to find a place for Precious and Max to swim, so last week we took them to a canoe launch site on the Neuse River less than a mile from our house. Jeff and I had a lot of fun, but I think our puppies enjoyed it more. Max almost pulled Jeff into the river with him before Jeff could get his leash off. It may be the last time it's warm enough to enjoy a good swim until next spring.













Precious almost takes Dad for a swim!









Where's Max????












What a retriever!!

October Birthdays

October is a busy month for the Matthews Family with three birthdays-Maria's, Dad Matthews, and Grannie.



Jennifer had some great news to share at Grannie's celebration. She and Dan are expecting their first baby in June-June 12th is the due date! Our children will be about 5 months apart. I guess this was the first official "play date" for them!

Last, but not least, here is the latest belly picture for those of you who keep asking for belly shots-you know who you are! Sorry I look a little scary-I get as comfortable as possible, as quickly as possible after I get home from work.
