3285 Days Old

I can't believe my first baby is already 9 years old. He is loved by so many people and he's touched the lives of even more!

NINE THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT YOU, MATTHEW:

1. Each freckle that seems to magically appear overnight on your cheeks and your nose.

2.Your thoughtfulness for anyone and everyone who has less than you.

3. Your zest for life!

4. The way you love babies...all babies!

5. The way we catch you being so kind to your brother when you think we aren't looking.

6. Your wit that seems to challenge us everyday.

7. The intensity for the things that mean the most to you. (Friends, family, and Jesus, too!)

8. How you sing Christian music loudly and without any embarrassment!

9. We love that you really don't want to become a grown up. You'll always be our #1! :)

Happy birthday, Matthew! We love you!!
