Happy 4th Birthday to my Trini Bug aka Mimi’s Angel…..
!!! Love you bunches and bunches…
It’s so hard to believe that our baby girl is 4. I remember at this time four years ago they didn’t think she would make it. And to see her now healthy as ever and running around like a toddler….I am truly blessed to have such beautiful, healthy girls. I thank God everyday for my husband, girls, family and friends. I am so thankful that he didn’t take my Trini early in life……
Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. I look forward to making Mariells smile a whole bunch more as she gets older.
Happy Birthday Eban……..
Hey Honey!
Happy Birthday again. I sure hope we get a chance to celebrate it one day soon.
Love you,
Effie
Sounds like a fun day and a great new tradition. Glad to hear there were no poop problems.
Angel reply on January 20th, 2010 2:14 pm:
Thanks Gordon! I was pretty happy about the poop too.
Have a great day and can’t wait to see y’all!
yes i am here….yes please update when you can….love and miss all of you!!!!!
Angel reply on January 31st, 2010 12:21 pm:
Thanks Darlene!
Hey Angel! I visit probably once a week but not as often as I used to. I tend to keep up with you on Facebook now. You do whatever you have time to do and feel like doing. Hope you’re doing well. Love ya’ll, G$
Angel reply on January 31st, 2010 12:21 pm:
Thanks Gordon!
I love seeing new updates. But I also understand the time issue. I also keep up with you on facebook. But what ever works for you Aunt Angel. But I will say I do enjoy the birthday and anniversary posts. And I love your post of funny stories.
And you have a very pretty daughter…It must run in the family…damn our good looking genes…lol
We love the Matthews FAMILY!!!
Angel reply on February 2nd, 2010 5:58 pm:
Thanks Kellie!
Hey Angel,
I totally agree with everyone so far. Update whenever you feel like it and whenever you have the time. I have been coming to your site less frequently too, probably only once a week or so. Maybe instead of posting really fun things that encourage comments like you’ve done in the past, you can do a boring “journal” type post every once in a while. That way, when you look back on your site years from now, you can remember what you were up to at the time. Plus, this type of post may be quicker to do and will provide real insight into what your life is really like. Whatever you decide….we will support you.
Love ya and miss ya!
Angel reply on February 9th, 2010 9:29 pm:
thanks Faith! I think I will do that, the journal type things.. I love and miss you too. Can’t wait to see you again soon!
know you are a busy bee now update when you have time,remember I had 5 lil ones so I know all about trying to get everything done ,but I love your site,so keep up the good work.
Angel reply on February 9th, 2010 9:30 pm:
thanks mom! I think I will start updating more.. if not for the public, for myself.. like Faith suggested, I might do the journal entries ..
Angel…do what ever works for you…but i do like Faith’s idea..lol
Angel reply on February 9th, 2010 9:30 pm:
thanks Darlene! I think I will..
soup booster is pretty crazy, but it does add a good flavor to it.
Angel reply on February 9th, 2010 9:28 pm:
Hey Wes! Yes we love the flavor too!
I saw your link on Doni’s facebook and remembered your awesome site. You house the only memory I have of some crazy Halloween party I went to sometime in the early 2000s.
Angel reply on February 9th, 2010 9:32 pm:
thanks Bill! Yes, the Halloween Parties!
And the camping, I think I remember you cooking over the campfire some pasta bacon stuff or something like that!
Thanks so much for visiting the site and leaving a comment for me to enjoy!
STILL HERE!!
Angel reply on February 11th, 2010 12:49 pm:
Thanks Denae! Love you
Looks like fun!! Love and miss ya’ll
TA reply on March 16th, 2010 8:43 am:
Miss you too Darlene! You can come visit anytime.
We can work out in the gym together.

LATE BUT STILL HERE!!
TA reply on March 16th, 2010 8:44 am:
Candice!
I am late too! lol
Thank you! Have a wonderful day!
Hey Mom!
Happy Birthday! I sure hope you had a fantastic birthday! You are so adventurous to spending your birthday in Maryland! Thanks for being such an awesome Mom!
Love you!
Faith
Mama…hope you had an awesome birthday!!!!!
Hey Angel,
Just got a chance to look your site again. I love looking at the pictures and hearing about you all. But I know trying to keep up with everything is hard.
I love FB. By the time I read what is going on with everyone, I have to go. So I don’t have much time to leave comments.
Do what you can and I will enjoy it.
Mariella is beautiful and I am so happy for you all.
Look like ya’ll might be getting some more snow. Have fun.
Love,
Aunt Mona
TA reply on March 16th, 2010 8:43 am:
Aunt Mona,
Thanks so much! The snow was insane! lol but I loved it, I didn’t have to drive in it!
Love you, and thanks again. I think I will be getting back in the swing of things… Mariella is sleeping much more at night.
Hey Angel,
Yes, you sure have been through a lot this past year. I loved reading this post, it’s a wonderful thought to think that this is the day Mariella began her life journey. You and Pat did very well bringing her into this world….now are you going to bring her a little brother or sister too? It’s weird to think that those are the socks you wore the day she was conceived. Freaky.
Love you guys!
Faith
TA reply on March 16th, 2010 8:17 am:
Faith, as soon as Pat settles in to Daddyville, I do want to give Mariella a brother or sister. Or one of each.. lol, twins next?
What a treat it is for those of us that know when we conceived. You truely enjoy your whole pregnancy because you know from the beginning. Thanks for sharing Angel.
Stephanie
TA reply on March 16th, 2010 8:16 am:
Hugs to you Stephanie!
So lets see who got what right!!
Pat and Randy guessed correct birth date, December 3!
Mom guessed the correct weight of 7 pounds 13 ounces!
Faith guessed the closest length at 21.25! Mariella was 21
oh my goodness, look how pregnant I was!
brings a tear to my eye.. I miss being pregnant!
Hey Trinitie!
Aunt Faith just wanted to say hello!
Love and miss you so much!
TA reply on March 18th, 2010 2:44 pm:
I hope we both get to hang out with her soon! Her and her big sister Lexie!
Maybe Nathaniel??? or Natalie???
TA reply on March 18th, 2010 2:43 pm:
Damn… I think it was Aunt Flo. She came see me yesterday.
boo!
Ohhh I like Natalie, that is so cute! Did Kellie tell you about that name?
oh my…hear they come again..wanna guess what it is??
TA reply on March 18th, 2010 2:45 pm:
*raises hand* I know! lol oh we are all so emotional these days ~
oh my again….lol….
TA reply on March 18th, 2010 2:46 pm:
Love you Darlene!
*hands you one of my 17 tissues* Don’t worry, I didn’t use that one yet!
