Yum Yum

My little Matt is a great eater.  He especally loves his oatmeal in the mornings.  I found some new cereal and thought that Matt would love it.  He loves all foods!  It looks like a swollen version of Rice Krispies and you just mix it with water.  Aunt Nicole caught the whole thing on camera when he tried ti for the first time.  Needless to say, we haven't tired it since!  But it was worth it just to get these pictures!  

Blah, Blah, Blah

Ok, I know the real reason most of you check this blog.  It is not for my writing, but for the pictures of Matt.  So, here they are.  And for the record, Aunt Linda is still the only Spreen that reads this.  Hello, family!  You are starting to make me mad.  See if I return your phone calls now!  (Oh, and a special shout out to Aunt Nicole for taking this great pictures!).  

So Ugly...

Okay.  My blog is just plain ugly.  How do I get one of those cutes ones, Gina, Jessica and Meghan?   Yours all look so professional.  Mine looks like a third grader did it.  No offense to all the third graders out there.  A little help here. Seriously.  This thing has to go!

The Score and #3...

Looks like I might be right in the fact that not too many people read this, but I am going to keep on blogging.  Maybe there are just people who read, but do not comment.  In any case, I told you all that the Spreen's do not read this.  And I am right!  So the score is Minks-2 and Spreens-1...if you can count my Aunt Linda who is technically a Budelsky, but she was once a Spreen before marriage.  I'll take it.    I guess I can't blame anyone.  I did take an absence from the blogging world for a month.  But I am back on.  For those of you who have not read my previous entries, the next item might not make much sense.  I advise you to read below then come back.  

#3.  Remember when I said I would clarify my third reason for my blogging hiatus?  Well here it is.  I have been busy getting this house ready to be put on the market.  That's right.  We are moving.  We are headed back to Cincinnati this summer.  We could not be more thrilled to be moving back to a place where family is waiting with open arms.  I love them (even if they don't read my stupid blog), and really want Matt to grow up with aunts and uncles, cousins and grandparents.   We want him to live in a place where he will have a big yard to run around in, a place where he can walk to elementary, junior and high school, and a place where, well, everyone knows your name.  We are so happy to be MUCH closer to Josh's family too.  Now  we can throw Matt in the car and go see them all.  We hate that we have only gotten to see most of them once since Matt was born.  So, it looks like my little peach will grow up a buckeye and later become a hoosier!  :)  

Josh got a job with  a law firm in Cincinnati and is so excited about the new challenge.  I am so happy for him.  Now comes the really fun part...selling a house.  Boy, is it fun keep a house perfect with Matt!  It will all be worth it soon!  I have to tell myself this daily.  I'll keep everyone posted with the progress.  In mean time, pray that God sends us a buyer soon!

Do I need to change the name of this blog now?!  Buckeyes to Peaches to Buckeyes!?  

Touching Noses 2

While I am at it (and Matt is sleeping), I thought I would post one more story.  A while back, I blogged about Matt 'touching noses'.  For those of you who forget, this is how he shows affection.  It is so sweet.  Lately, when we read him stories, he likes to 'touch noses' with the people on the pages.  How cute, huh?  Here are some pictures of Matt 'touching noses' with Elmo, Mama, Grandpa, and Aunt Nic!

To blog or not to blog...

I haven't blogged in ages, as you have been able to tell.  There are three main reasons for my absence in the blog world...

1.  I have been a little too obsessed with Facebook.  Seriously.  It has sucked me in.  I resisted for as long as I could but I finally caved.  Wrong move.  Now every time I am on the computer, Josh asks me "Are you social networking?".  The answer is always "yes".  Yikes.  I need help.

2.  I am not really sure that anyone reads this (except for you, Gina).  Does anyone read this?  I know the Spreen family never does.  Thanks, guys.  I set this up this up, so that you call can keep up to date with what we are doing.  Are you reading or not?

3.  I'll explain this one later when I can.  

So, I guess I'll just post some pictures until I know that you all are reading and until I can fully explain #3.  (I promise, I will).  Josh's family came this past weekend for a visit and his sister took more pics!  All I wanted for Mother's Day was a good pic of Matt and I.  I feel as though I am always behind the camera.  I have a zillion pictures of Matt and Josh!  She got some really good pics.  Here are a bunch of them.  Enjoy!
