Coral Lynn's Already 20 Months old

Hello everyone,

Sorry it has been awhile since I have update the journal. We are doing well. Mike is healthy once again. The doctors have finally found the source of his GI issue. A meckel diberticulum (in other words a birth defect that was fixed by removal during an emergency surgery). He is healthy now and doing very well. Coral is walking and running all over the house. We have taken her camping and almost all of her teeth are in except for the 4 I-teeth. She had 4 molars come in while daddy was in the hospital. She has at times been the daycare's Dracula biting other children and being naughty to other girls. She is better lately and has been playing very nicely with others. We are heading up to Portland this weekend to see if it is a place we want to live. It will be our first vacation traveling by airplane since Coral has learned to walk/run. We were supposed to travel to Hawaii in April, but thanks to ATA's bankruptcy, we have had to reschedule our vacations.
The photos taken are from a Mother's Day luau we had at our house and a camping trip up in Payson. Coral is turning into a cute little girl. She is our little "tree hugger". We hope you enjoy the photos.


Peace and Love.... the Mattsons

Happy New Year's 2008 !!!

Sorry I haven't updated this site in awhile. I have been busy with cloth diapers and enjoying the holidays. We hope everyone out there has had a very safe and happy holiday season. We had a great Christmas. We are getting used to new family customs and are thoroughly enjoying our toddler and her exploration with everything.
Coral had a fun Christmas, she even helped us open 2 of her Christmas presents. She loves the pots & pans and putting anything into or out of cupboards, drawers, boxes etc.... She even loves putting herself into boxes. (See attached photo.)

We are seeing the world in a whole different way and so is Coral. (See other photo) She is having fun with anything and everything. It is amazing how wonderful and loving the world can be if we look at it through the eyes of a toddler.

We hope you all have a very insightful and prosperous new year.
