Happy 6th Birthday Matt!


Matt turned six years old today! He looks the same as he did when he was 2, only a little taller. (And I do mean only a little bit.) He had a fabulous day.

Woke up to blue berry pancakes (he likes anything with fruit in it). He pulled out the blueberries, ate them first and then the rest of the pancake. Then he got to open his presents from family members.Then off to a fun filled afternoon of lunch and play at Chuck E. Cheese, compliments of grandma and grandpa. Thank you grandma and grandpa!Topped off the day with a trip to Baskin Robbins where both Emery and Matt got free cones for their birthday and half birthday. Mmmm....rainbow sherbet.... On the drive home he was over heard saying, "This was the best birthday ever!" (Actually, we did the EXACT same thing for his 4th birthday but apparently that has faded from his memory.)
He was the EASIEST baby when he was born. He was happy to be cuddled, but fine being left alone. He would fall asleep easily, stay asleep and then wake up happy. Ate anything that was put in front of him for a long time. For the first three months of his life he slept through the service at church no matter how loud the singing or preaching was. People would visit and he'd contentedly sit in his bouncy chair the whole time they were over. They would often ask, "Does he ever cry or make ANY noise?" A dream of a baby. Well...times have changed! He now loves to run around, sword fight, growl, and make all kinds of sword and gun type noises. He doesn't sit real still for too long anymore but he is still very sweet, sensitive, caring and thoughtful towards others, and the most generous of our kids. Best of all, he still loves to be cuddled. I thank God for Matt and pray that he would come to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ one day.

Yes...but what did he get? I see wrapped gifts, but what are they? I'm so curious!
