Today my Matthew is ten. Ten years ago today I was staring at this darling newborn and wondering how in the world I was going to survive with a 17 month old and a newborn. But survive we did and Matt has brought so much joy into our lives. Matt is a study in personality. He has so much personality it is exhausting at time. He is moody, unpredictable, hilarious, loving, giving, and so much more. He can go from sour to sweet in a second flat and from sarcastic to caring even quicker. He challenges me daily as he could care less about school and is only interested in things he loves. He is as smart as a whip and he knows it too. I love him sooooo much and I tell him all the time that if I could line up all the boys in the world and choose one I would choose him. (and his brothers of course).
Here's an example of his moodiness as he was drawing the name for my giveaway winner.
And the winner is Jennie, of The Country Vaughns! (with the great playlist). Jennie and I go waaaay back :), to when I first started my blog and I was so excited to find someone in AL who blogged too. She has been such an encouragement to me as I have been blogging.
Happy Birthday to Matt! Glad you survived with your 1st 2 being only 17 months apart...that's how far apart my 2 are and sometimes I wonder if I'll make it :)
