 Matthew met Justin (or "Uncle
Caveman" as he will be known) on day two. Like all children, Matthew instantly took to him. |
 Ahh... how he spoiled us with all this
sleeping. You have to admit, he's darned cute in his take-home outfit. Melissa picked it from thousands of candidates while
she was on bedrest. |
 Matthew came home to Flowery Branch on
February 14th. Out like a light on his first car ride. |
 Here's Matthew (surprise) asleep at one
month old. This is how we need to remember our kids, when we feel like throttling them later in life... |
 A wonderful thing happens around 2
Months: The kid develops a personality. And what a personality it is! |
 "YOU'RE my daddy?!? EEK! I'll be
back in here until I can drive..." |
 Matthew officially becomes a member of
the church. Father Mike has never had a child he baptized cry during the ceremony. Thankfully, the streak went unbroken with
Matthew. Craig & Heather Puckett, the Godparents, are on the right. |

Melissa takes Matthew for his first Trick-or-Treat! |

Who knew? He just learned to walk, and he is a demon on skates. |
