At his school's awards ceremony, here are is what Matt was honored with:

The school coach asked him to play AAU basketball, and he is also attending the76ers Basketball Camp, and took private lessons from The Shootist.

We all went to Matt's house to celebrate his 9th birthday with a big family brunch. Matt got a cool new bike that looks like a Harley Hog, with a big fat rear tire, low rider profile, and extended front wheel.
On March 20 we all went to Matt's house to celebrate his 8th birthday. He is really getting tall (and
the girls tell me he's handsome, too). Anyhow, we all had a great time. Matt was born to Chris and Cindi on March 20, 1997. He is finishing up third grade and does great in school. For one
thing, he has 100% on every spelling test all year long. In a prior year, he won a reading trophy for reading the most books
and collecting
for Muscular Dystrophy as pledges per book. Matt does very well in all his classes and he also has made
a lot of school friends. He is a student and an athelete. He plays football in the fall, basketball in the winter, soccer
in the spring, and baseball in the summer. He is tall, wiry, and athletic.Matt has his 8th Birthday!
