Matthew is 5!

Yesterday was Matthew's 5th

birthday. It was an exciting day
for him, but an extremely hard
day for me. It literally seems like just
yesterday that he was born.

I couldn't help but cry on and off
throughout the day, just thinking
about how fast the past five years
have gone. I know there is nothing
I can do to stop time, but I sure
wish it would slow down a bit.

He is such an amazing little boy. He
absolutely melts my heart when he
recites John 3:16. He makes me
laugh with his funny stories and
comments. He has a gigantic
vocabulary and is very quick-witted.
I can't imagine my life without him.
I am so thankful for every day that
God lets me spend with him. Here
are some pictures from his big day.

Happy Birthday Sweet Matthew!
I love you!
