Happy 4th of July

We are spending the week at Topsail Island and my wonderful husband brought every cord imaginable-computer cords, dvd cords, S-video cords,baby monitor cords, video game cords, headphones, even my camera cord-so I can update pictures of vacation, while we are on vacation.  Seriously, what would I do without him and what would he do without technology!  Topsail has their 4th of July celebration on the 3rd, so we went out for a delicious seafood dinner and then went to the park to enjoy the music and fireworks.

Matthew has been pure joy on his first family vacation.  He has been such a good baby with the travel and sleeping in his pack and play.  It has also been a blessing to have the Matthews' family together.  Jeff and I have been able to spend some focused, one on one time with Matthew while Kate is having fun with her cousin, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.  Matthew is also getting to know all of these faces of people who love him and build up his confidence by telling him how cute and adorable he is (which is totally true)!!!!
