Matt has his 8th Birthday!
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 is a great kid to be around; he shares, plays well, is energetic, smart, and very polite. When he was little, he used to love to play "peeps" (the little plastic character replicas from movies) with Grandpa (me), and Grandpa loved it, too. He likes to play sports, and he likes to borrow books from the library and read them. What a cool kid. And he is growing up soooo fast. I'm very proud of him.
