Can you believe this is Matthew at 2 days?
Now here he is at 4 years old! These pictures were taken at his birthday party. I tried to recreate the Battle of Bunkerhill for the cake. It didn't turn out like I wanted, but he seemed to like it.

(FYI: The army men on the 'ship' are the red coats. Also, did you know the American's ran out of gun powder in this battle? *A fact my son taught me.* )
We decided to wage war on the cake (it seemed fitting) and since it was only our family at the shin-dig everyone went at it.
Matthew LOVES his Auntie Allie.
Excitement over opening the 'Jenny' cd. Thanks Grampy and Grammie Kate!!Fun Facts:
Matthew is the sweetest kid! We had Gramma Patti and Uncle Max over the other night for dinner and everything was on the table. I couldn't find Matt, but I heard commotion in the basement. I yell for him and he says, "Yeah!?"
ME: "Come upstairs, it's time to eat. What are you doing?"
MATT: "I'm getting a chair for Gramma Patti."
He had gone downstairs to get a fold-up chair for my mom - no one had mentioned anything about us needing another chair - he did it all on his own. The amazing thing is he actually carried it all the way up the stairs by himself. I admit I was quite proud of his gentleman-ly behaviour!
Matthew loves having races in the basement with his brother.
He loves the American Revolution and has watched the A&E documentary many times. He could probably quote it by now.
He love his rope swing that dad put up for him in the basement.
He's very affectionate and loving. In the morning he snuggles with me on the couch while I read.
He loves the Lord and talks about wanting to obey and please Him.
He REALLY wants to play the trumpet like Quincy from Little Einsteins.
Acting like a cheetah is an everyday event.
He wants to have a farm with animals and crops.
He is a great helper! He puts up with my requests for diapers and wipes numerous times each day. :)
There's much more that could be said about this beautiful, sweet child! He really is such a joy to watch! I love him so much and can't imagine life without him!
I don't have any recent pictures - the cord seems to have been misplaced. I'll continue the search.......

No kidding; you are the cake queen! I wish I had a cake like that when I was a kid.
You are SUCH a good mom! That cake is awesome. Thanks for *coughfinallycough* posting new photos. They're all growing up too fast.
