I recently uploaded the photos from my phone to my computer. I was surprised at how many I had of the kids, especially Matthew! If I come upon him while he’s up to some thing cute (which is often, says the completely  unbiased mother! Ha!) then I pull out my phone and snap a photo! I thought I’d share some of them with you, just for fun. 🙂 Thanks for indulging me.

Matt the Magna-Doodle artist. 🙂

Matthew wearing big brother’s boots! 🙂

Matthew drew this cross on our chalkboard and told me it was the “cross where Jesus died.”

Every once in a while, Matt gets the urge to look through the dictionary!

Three guesses as to who this is…

He was so proud of himself for climbing up there!

I got a good smile from him! Altitude does him wonders!

“Reading” Garfield! 🙂

Asleep on Mommy one night.

This is the “I’m-patronizing-my-mother-while-she-takes-photos” smile. 🙂

Here it is again, along with the wind-blown hairstyle.

This is why I was taking his photo, to catch this. He sticks his tongue out while he concentrates on things! Sorry it’s blurry!

He started out looking for something under the bed this way. Then he decided to just carry on a conversation this way. I decided to bronze the moment.

Practicing writing. (Notice the mouth.)

As I was making my bed one morning, I found this under the pillows! Matt had snuggled with me for a while before going to his own bed and he left this behind. I sometimes find swords, too! I know one day I’ll miss seeing that I slept with a toy pistol, so I think I’ll just enjoy it while I can. 🙂

Thank you SO much for looking at these silly photos. They are precious treasures to me.
