8 years ago today I became Mrs. William Cardoza.
Matt and I were married in Statesboro, GA at First United Methodist Church by my grandfather, S. Carter Berkeley. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time.
I will never forget seeing Matt for the first time all dressed up. We were in the courtyard of the Statesboro Inn. Matt was sitting on a bench with his eyes covered. Our photographer took pictures of us as Matt took off his blindfold. He looks like a little kid with his shoulders scrunched up with excitement. I love that series of pictures.
We had know idea of what marriage would really be like, but I wouldn't trade Matt for anything. God has blessed my life by placing Matt in it. He has helped me to become a better person, forgiven me for the stupids things I do, and overlooks my "bad" habits. He continues to show me what it means to be a man of integrity and honesty. I praise God that our children have him as a father. For Isabella to know what it really means for a man to love you and for William to know what it means to be a "real" man. I love you, my love.

14 on the 14th
William is 14 months old today.
I have really enjoyed watching William move into toddler hood. He wants so much to be a "big boy". He tries to copy everything Isabella does. He loves to crawl up the stairs and slide down on his tummy. Man, he is fast too. He is also quite vocal and always lets us know when he wants something (usually to eat) or Isabella has done something to him.
He is really super cute and "all boy."
Still NO teeth.

Busy
We have been so busy lately that and I have neglected this blog.
We love the Christmas season. It is our most favorite time of year. I am just still having difficulty believing it is already here and almost 2010. Where has the time gone?!?
September- We took Isabella along with the May family to see Elmo and his green thumb. It was our first "show" and Isabella loved it.
October- We went to the mountains with the Mays and the Moons during the fall break. We stayed in Suches, Ga in the moutnains and had a great time. The kids and I also went home to Waynesboro to visit my family. Isabella loved riding Aunt Jennie and Uncle Patrick's golf cart around the field. We had a great time. We also went to the mountains with my family at the end of October. Nice and relaxing.
November- I took the kids along with the Mays to Imagine It!, the children's museum. It was very fun and a sensory overload. Then I took the kids back to Waynesboro to see my family before thanksgiving. We traveled to the mountains with Matt's family for Thanksgiving. The kids had a great time playing with each other and watching the deer in the woods.
December- We, the adults, went out on the town to see the Rocketts for the Christmas Spectacular. It was a lot of fun to be out without the kids. I hosted a Premier jewelry party last night with Stephanie as my jewelry lady. We had a great time.
That is just a small sampling of the extra things we have been doing recently.

13 months old
William is 13 months old today!
Our very good friend Zach took his 1 year pictures for us at the monastery a few weeks ago. Here are a few of them.
William trying to eat Isabella's food.
William really is ALL Boy!!! There is a huge difference between him and Isabella at this age. He is climbing on everything. He is able to get up onto the table if the chair is left pulled out from it. He also climbed onto the couch today without the stool.

He is able to walk where ever he wants.
He has started hitting Isabella for no apparent reason. It is actually kind of funny at times. However, I do think he is going to be our temper tantrum child. When we won't let him go outside, he throws himself onto the floor and cries. I just end up walking away. I think I will be doing a lot of that in the future.
He is pointing at things and "saying" words.
Still absolutely NO sign of teeth. If he is like his daddy, we have 5 more months to go before any show up.

Walker
William has started walking this week.
He is exploring new places and getting into EVERYTHING! He apparently has the inate manlly urge to climb onto anything he can. I have had to move the small chairs that go with Isabella's small table.

Little Bo Peep Has Lost Her Sheep...
And doesn't know where to find him.
Last week we celebrated Halloween as Little Bo Peep and her Sheep. I was able to attend Isabella's Halloween party to school. It was a lot of fun to meet her friends that she talks about at home. They played several games and had some good food too.
Pumpkin Bingo
Bean Bag Toss
Leaving school
Matt's dad and his Uncle Billy came to visit us Halloween morning. Billy was visiting from New York and it was great to see him. It was the first time he had meet William.
