Get this party started!

This is Rowan on Chocolate! He got his party on Christmas Eve night!!

He was digging the tie, but just wanted to push it to the side. This picture is a glimpse into the future when Rowan goes to college!

Daddy reading 'Twas the night before Christmas'.....he was still high on life and Chocolate.

The gentleman

Wanted to post some more pictures of Rowan at his best before you see the drunk on chocolate frat party pictures. Isn't he sweet?!!

Christmas Eve

Here are a few pictures of Rowan before dinner on Christmas Eve. His new plaid tie was a crowd pleaser!! He looked so handsome (at the beginning of the night!) I'll post some of postparty pictures where Rowan got his chocolate on and you can imagine what happened from there! The 2nd and 3rd photos are him on his new 3 in 1 rocking horse/hairchair/desk. Gramma and pap found it for him and it's pretty cool.

Santa was pretty good to Rowan this year. The house was full of presents and good times!!

The gymnist

Look at his form! His balance!!! These are some pictures of Rowan Matthew from Saturday's gymnastics class at The Little Gym. He was showing off for Gramma and Pap who came to check him out. Rowan has been excelling since joining and we decided to enroll him in another semester starting January. In fact, after consulting with his instructor Jasmin, we are bumping him up to "The Beasts" class because of his skill level. That class age range goes from 19 months -2 1/2 year olds.


Keep it up Rowan!!

Woodmoor Cooking Club

Here's a picture of Jason right before going to the Woodmoor cooking club a couple Saturdays ago. He made Aunt Sara's famous mac n' cheese! I think he may have been a bit disappointed because the crowd was sort of lame. However, that's not going to stop him from going again in January - maybe with Sara. They'll get some good laughs if anything!!

Cry me a river

Here's a couple pics of Rowan in the tub! As you can tell, sometimes he likes it when I take his picture and other times he does not!
BTW, the bottom picture is a fake cry!

We had a great weekend! Friday night was my work Christmas party and it was a lot of fun. Saturday night we had a neighborhood Christmas party and we also had an excellent time! Our neighbors told us lots of stories about the history of the house and the crazy woman who owns it. She seems like a real piece of work! The best story was how she once threw a backpack at a Sheltie walking down the street...yeah, that's crazy!!

Have a great week!!
Let's go Steelers!!!!

Finding the perfect tree

Well, it took two days to find a tree. Is it perfect? No, but it looks great. We found it this morning at Home Depot as Jason proudly held it up in the above photo. Rowan had a great time running through the lot making me chase after him. Keep up with him is a workout in itself!

What a wonderful weekend we had. Lots of family time and fun. Rowan is such a good and happy little boy. He was so excited to see Aunt Sara this afternoon that he gave her five hugs in a row!!

In other Little news, Jason attended the Woodmoor cooking club this weekend. It's a neighborhood club that meets monthly with a theme. Yesterday's was pasta and Jason made a killer Mac and Cheese recipe that Aunt Sara gave him! I'll post a picture of him later this week.

We'll be thinking of you Michelle on Tuesday!

17 months old!

Here's a picture of Rowan Matthew today at 17 months old! He's got a pair of black and blue spots on his forehead from being an active little boy!

I know, he's so darn cute!!
