MattE's Second Day

Day two for MattE was a good day.  Why Cleveland?  It's a family name.

The G.H. Cleveland on this sign is Laurie's great grandfather, Grover Cleveland. Maybe you've seen his old peach packing plant on I-75.  It's marked with this giant peach.

It's actually an outlet mall now.

Why Matthew?  Umm...the disciple of course.  It has nothing to do with this guy

Matt E. Diaz

Just because a guy breaks the National League record with 10 consecutirve at bats with a hit with the Atlanta Braves not to mention as a 'Nole had the fans chanting J.D. Who? after hitting 3 homeruns in one playoff game against Oklahoma causing fans to forget J.D. Drew who had one the Golden Spikes Award one year earlier.  That would certainly not be enough to name a child Matte.  Oh, did I mention he loves Jesus and was always very kind to Josh when he would go to get baseballs signed.  No, trust me...he's named after the former tax collector.

A Day to Celebrate!

Okay, so MattE wasn't born on 9/21/06...but it is still brought news worth celebrating...

MattE C. will have to wait

Five years ago on September 11th, 2001 we were scheduled to go in to deliver Drew. The hospital was full so we waited one extra day. Conisidering all that occurred on that day we now look back on that as a blessing.

Today September 20th we were scheduled to go into the hospital and deliver MattE C. Once again the hospital is full and so once again we'll wait the extra day. I'm sure it will be a blessing as well but hopefully not for as dramatic of reasons.


MattE C. Hang in there. One more day.

Happy Birthday Drew & Tamara (yesterday)
