Here are the pictures of baby Matthew. We are so excited to have him with us. Sorry for the delay in getting these posted. Things have been kind of crazy with the move and the new baby all at the same time:-)
A word from Matthew:
Hello world! My name is Matthew Hodges. I'm about 10 days old now and my parents are finally putting me on the family blog. The blog was previously dominated by photos of my sister, Samantha, but my agent and I have been able to negociate space on the blog moving forward. I look forward to meeting you all in person soon!


Getting ready to go home!


Sammy was soooo excited to have a buddy in the back seat with her!

Playing with his first toy.

It is amazing how much he looks like a boy version of Samantha. We think he'll probably be another good mixture of Diana and I (with Diana's nose, bottom lip and cheaks of course!)

He is so darling! I can't believe that blond hair. I guess we're not used to it in our family. :) I wish you guys were closer, so we could meet him right away!! We can't wait for more updates!

How adorable! It's wonderful to see you guys so happy. Sammy looks head-over-heels in love with her baby brother. I'm sure she's going to be a wonderful big sister. You look amazing!

I think you are winning the award for the most comments on a blog post. We are so excited to finally see picture s of him. He is so adorable and I am so jealous at how long your labor was. I love the going home outfit, so cute. And what a great name! I'm a little biased.

Oh yea! I'm so happy for you guys! I wish I was there to see the little guy! We love you guys and can't wait to see you all this summer. We are still on for the annual 24th of July block party! He is a doll! Ryder says hello to Sam!

Oops I deleted my comment! Congratulation Hodges family! Matthew is adorable and hopefully soon we can see him (we just need to get over some colds!). I love the picture of Sammie smiling with her baby brother in the back seat. So cute!
