Super Dad's Birthday

Matt really is a super dad in so many ways. Super diaper changing, funny, handsome, playing with kids super dad. His day job? A police officer, which makes him extra SUPER.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUPER DAD!
  • My first attempt at being crafty/make it yourself housewife.
  • A rare occasion of me baking something. (soon to be more often)
  • I copy cat'd the idea from Kara's Party Ideas but I dumbed it down. Her idea was so cute, but I didn't have the time or the supplies to do some of her stuff. So I got the free Super Dad printable from Delightful Designs.
  • Being that we are in a rental house with most of our stuff in storage (including our broken printer), I emailed it to Staples and didn't even cut the prints out. Just taped them on the wall with some balloons!

  • These are delicious Praline Brookies from the pilsbury website. Easy to make with brownie box mix and pre-made cookie dough. (Because my cupcake pans are also in storage!)
  • I used bamboo forks (similar to toothpicks) for the mini super dads on the brookies.
  • How do you like my bath towel tablecloth?
  • October 17th - the actual birth day!
  • As the super wife that I am, I stayed home alone for a weekend in September with a 3 week old baby and 2 year old toddler, while he went to see the Hawk's play and party it up all weekend with his friend from St. Louis.
  • Super newborn baby and 2 year old = exhaustion.

At the Hospital

Wonderful Dr. Nancy Angenend.
Very tired Daddy.
Shelly came in to help hold Cora while mom was recovering and dad took a nap.

We restricted visitors so we could rest. Grandpa & Grandma Martin came by.

Welcome Cordella Lynn Martin

Born on September 5th around 3:30am at 8lbs 4oz and 19 inches long. Named Cora and then we changed her name on the 2nd day to Cordella after my great great grandmother "Cordelia."


In this picture, feeling great meeting my little girl. Was still surprised that it really was a girl!


They didn't weigh her until much later that day...weighed in at 8lbs 4oz.
