More updates!!

August has been a very exciting month for our family!! Matt was able to fix his eyes with PRK surgery and the best part was that it was paid for by the military!! We are very fortunate to have these opportunities due to Matt's career. Alyssa also has learned how to sit and everyday she gets closer and closer to crawling!! I see the wheels turning in her head everyday!! She is such a smart little girl!! She is so much like her father it's amazing!! Matt's eyes are healing very well and at his appointment today his vision was a combined 20/30 and the optometrist believes he could possibly have 20/15 by the end of his recovery!! We can't wait to see what he ends up with. Until then it's eye drops, eye drops, eye drops!!!

Gilroy Garlic Festival '08

This past weekend we went to the Gilroy Garlic Festival with a friend and we had so much fun!! We ate a ton of garlic food and Matt was even brave enough to eat the garlic ice cream!! I was so hot that day and the fact that we went as a break from cleaning the old place and we were already sweaty from that didn't really help, but we ended up getting some really cool shirts to change into when we got there. Alyssa loved her "Little Stinker" outfit and it ended up suiting her perfectly by the end of the day. We ended up running out of diapers and having to ask someone if we could buy a diaper off of them. You do what you got to do I guess! Everyday is a little adventure and learning experience when you become parents!!

Lake Chabot

Earlier this month we went to Lake Chabot in Castro Valley and rented a motor boat. It was a lot of fun even though Paco could have pulled us faster than the motor took us. Even the geese swam by us like we were "sitting ducks"!! Paco had a blast swimming in the water and playing fetch. Here are a few pictures from the trip!!

The fastest geese in the world!!


Paco having lots of fun!!
