Matthew gets up first, he's groggy but knows Dora the Explorer and Go Diego Go will be on soon so he gets up on the couch and waits patiently. THEN, just out of the blue, like the light bulb just turned on, Matthew points "down there" and Mommy says, "You have to go potty Matthew?" and he says YES. OH BOY......Mommy grabs Matthew, heads off to the potty and puts him on there. With boys? Momma learned quickly that when they say they have to go, it means NOW and point the "lilly" in the right direction!!!! (LOL) DO YOU KNOW HE WENT?!?!?! YES HE DID! No accident, no just by chance, HE ACTUALLY WENT, just like when we first got home from China! Can you say, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was so proud of himself! He had to go and tell a sleeping Daddy! So, obliging mommy said, ok! ROFL
Picture this, Daddy sound asleep, Mommy puts Matthew on the bed and he runs over to Daddy and falls all over him! YEAH! What a way to wake up!!!! :o) (so proud)
Then, Rebecca wakes up. So here she comes. And the sibling rivalry commences! *laughing because you have to know what I'm talking about in order to know how sarcastic I'm being* What a day, what a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and now everyone wants breakfast! Momma's turn! *like usual, (rofl)*

Princess Becca and her glorious BREATHS!
Oh boy, there is just never a dull moment around our house, you realize this, right? Well, Rebecca is showing more and more, signs of having asthma. She had an all out "asthma attack" on Saturday. Now mind you, we know this is no laughing matter. Hearing your little girl gasping for breath is not easy to listen to. The thing is, we are new to this and honestly, we thought she might be coming down with something. WRONG..........let me explain.
Friday morning, Rebecca is chasing Matthew, Matthew is chasing Rebecca, dad takes them to daycare, NOTHING WRONG you say? You'd be right! Friday evening, dad picks them up and Rebecca comes home with a cough that is dry and raspy. Weird sounding. We being her parents thought she was coming down with something, like what has been happening for the last 2 years. Apparently, wrong.
Saturday morning, we gave her a treatment of albuterol (via the nebulizer) and 2 hours later, another one. She started breathing better. Her cough had diminished. We ended up going over a friends house for a little party/get together. Well, we ended up having to leave earlier than we wanted to because Rebecca ended up having an attack after reaching for a toy under a bed. What triggered it or why? We have no clue!!! NONE whatsoever. (if you have any ideas, please email us!!!) So we ended up hightailing it home to give her another treatment.
FAST FORWARD to Monday night........since Saturday night, she's had this cough still, but much improved, mind you. We told her pediatrician what had been going on over the weekend and they wanted to see her RIGHT AWAY! Good thing......he airway was "coarse" and so was her breathing. She now has inhalers to take with her. When she turns 4, she will have more stuff to do and in the mean time, we have to get her to an allergist! (preferably one in our own county) OH BOY!!!!!!! :o)
I wonder if she will grow out of this? Reading on the internet is so confusing some pages say she might, some say you never do, you just "control" it. Who knows except God! Say a prayer for our Becca, if you will.............thanks.

3 MONTHS! 3 MONTHS! 3 MONTHS!
Prince Matthew has been with us, as of tomorrow (6/6/07), for 3 months! He is so comfortable with us now. He doesn't want to listen to us, doesn't want to let his sister go when she hits him, gets in trouble at daycare, says NO NO to mommy and daddy......OH YEAH, he's our boy alright!!!!!
As for mommy? These last 3 months have been such a joy! Honestly, through all the illnesses, diseases, weird bodily liquids through the nose, or elsewhere (ahem). I love having a little boy! I knew having Rebecca would change our lives, which she has, more ways than one. But there is something about having a little boy! They are so relying on Mommies! (and Daddies) It's so cool to hear Matthew yell in the house, Mama? Where are you?! *shivers* I love hearing that! I just love it!
Life is not the same with just one child. It's DOUBLY fun now! Especially when Mommy and Daddy play with Becca and Matthew on the playground! (It's big enough for parents to play on too!!!!) YAY!
Join us tomorrow in celebrating our little boy's 3 month anniversary! PRAISE GOD!!!!

More pictures of the kids!!!!
Here are Rebecca and Matthew as we celebrated his 1 month anniversary of GOTCHA DAY with us! You may not see it, but Matthew looked at the cake I made with WIDE OPEN EYES!!!!
Couldn't resist these pictures! Can you tell they JUST got up?! LOL
Roy gets his AWARD!!!!!!!!
On Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007, Roy was asked to attend a Convocation at CSM (College of Southern Maryland) to receive an award with the High Honors of having Academic Excellence from the Dean of the school. This award is ONLY given to those who have a 3.75 and above!!! We are so VERY proud of Roy!! Go daddy, go!
Matthew chillin' out at Dad's Convocation. It was warm, but a nice cool breeze hit us from time to time.
Rebecca was having TOO MUCH FUN! (with the kids behind her, the people in front of us, the one's beside us, on the next isle, with the folks on the stage......UFF DA!
We are so VERY proud of daddy and what he has achieved! This Academic Excellence award was given to Roy with the High Honors of having a 3.83 out of 4.0 while getting his Drafting degree. As the kids yelled out while daddy walked across the stage, YAY DADDY!

Matthew's visit today!!!
Ok, this might be long, but stick with us. Matthew didn't like going today. He let the urologist know that too by "saying his HELLOS" from down under.....ROFL Matthew "christened" the doctor! *that's my boy* (snickering) Hey, she was poking, prodding, squeezing, kneading, you name it trying to "find" certain parts in the abdomen and well? Matthew said his, "how do you do's" without saying a word! Guess you had to be there.......
Matthew has "boys" down where they should be, (stay with me here) except one of his "boys" couldn't find his way HOME! So, the right "boy" is just where he ought to be and we say HALLELUJAH LORD! But the left "boy" just WOULD NOT STOP AND ASK FOR DIRECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! (Ok, it's not funny, but, you have to admit, YOUR LAUGHING TOO AREN'T YOU!?!?!?!?!) So, henceforth, since the left "boy" wouldn't ask for directions, and plant himself at home, he's floating wherever he wants to be on a given day! Today he got a workout from the doctor! (Matthew didn't like it.)
Ok, in a normal world, the left "boy" would be left alone until he FOUND his way home, BUT.........the left "boy" has brought his own living room set with him, (ie, the lower intestines) and MUST have surgery to set the living room set back where it belongs and to put the left "boy" where he belongs. GOT IT? Because I'm not saying all that again!!!! *Not even in REAL terms*
So, this means that Matthew MUST have surgery quicker than the Craniofacial team would like. We will be in constant communication to schedule surgeries for both as soon as both can do it on the same day! We would like to put Matthew under only one time for all of his craniofacial surgeries/urology issues. So this will happen sooner rather than later.
Please pray that everything will run smoothly with both teams to get Matthew what he needs. Daddy and Mommy are making some huge decisions for Matthew right now. As soon as we know what we are doing, we'll let you guys know!

Tomorrow is another big day for Mr. Matthew
......we go to Children's Hospital for a whole 'nother reason. We get to see a person in Urology! Oh boy! Hopefully everything will be a ok, but we need a few things checked out. For the sake of Mr. Matthew, if you know what a Urologist does, then you know why Matthew is going there. :o)
*disclaimer - because my son shall have a certain bit of "privacy", this is why we WILL NOT go into detail what this concerns!*
Other than that, hopefully it will be uneventful and the doctor will say everything is ok, he's just a "late bloomer" and leave it at that. Mom and Dad will be happy!
FOR THOSE WAITING FOR PICTURES? THEY ARE TRULY COMING! DAD is getting them together! Time is just the issue......nothing more. Hang tight. They're a coming...........

PS, those inclined? Please pray for a good visit both tomorrow and Friday!
