Hello to all....We have been a little busy this summer...so here are few pictures to highlight our busyness...Will and I went to Charleston, South Carolina for our 5 year anniversary trip (Ally did not come)....We had so much fun....We actually could go to dinner starting at 8:00 and eat for as long as we wanted without having to put more cheerios on the high chair....We went to Navarre Beach with some friends from Park City, Utah....Last time we went to the Navarre - Ally was in the belly...She did make this trip...and loved the ocean, sand, and pool...I signed up to plan my 10 year high school reunion....so that has come and gone....and Will decided months ago that he wanted to run in the Chicago marathon and wanted me to go.....so I decided if I was going to go to Chicago - I was not just standing there that I would run too....I thought surely I can learn to love running....Months into it and MANY miles later - I do not love running or even like running....and Ally's first year of her life has almost come and gone....She is getting so big - actually I think she is pretty small for her age....She is almost a year old and she is weighing in at 18 lbs....I promise I feed her but she is all over the place....She will not sit still for 1 second.....Snuggling is not in her vocabulary....So life at the mattern household is good...and it does not slow down...Will's sister is getting married....My sister is having a baby....and somewhere in between all of it Will and I trying to find time for ourselves...It is hard to believe sometimes - there was once just two of us....And we thought we were busy then....I love keeping up with all of your lives through your blog - sorry I am not the best blogger....alicia
