Happy 3rd Birthday Matthew!

Three years ago today, was a very very special day! Matthew decided to make his grand entrance into the world. He arrived witty and full of love. And here he is, three years later, still has that same smirk about him!

This year will be a huge year for you. You will start school, make new friends and move into a new home. Do you know that you have lived in 5 (FIVE) homes since you have been born? Hopefully this new home will be ours to grow in! Mommy and daddy are just so proud of you for who you are growing up to be. You make us laugh on a daily basis and you continue to amaze us. You always have an answer for everything and you are full of so much love. Yet you are as stubborn as can be and for that we wrap our arms around you even stronger!

You still do not like to watch TV, unless your brother requests a show, then you all of a sudden want a different show. You love your shoes, but you just can't figure out why they frustrate you. There isn't a moment that goes by where you are screaming at us, telling us your feet hurt, or your shoes are too tight, or the bottoms of your shoes are dirty. You fight like a dog with your brother as brothers should fight. You just know which buttons to pick, and for the Sam just loves being your brother! You love to eat. You eat anything and everything that Sam isn't eating. You are full of strength to be the best you can be. You always want to keep up with the "big" boys and you do a darn good job at it. Your favorite color is green, and you scream if you don't get your green plate, green cup, green shoes, green soccer ball, green crocks, green shirt etc. but we do cater to your green fetish, that is why we love you so much. We look at you and wonder who you will become. Mommy, daddy and Sam love you so much! We are so happy to be celebrating YOU today!

Tonight is dinner with grandparents at the beach of Lake Michigan!

Happy Birthday Matthew! We will visit the Dr's office in a few weeks and get all your health stats. For now, you are perfect!
