With Grateful Hearts

With grateful hearts for family and friends, for those near to us and those who are near in our hearts. For hope and joy, and sorrow and struggles. For laughter and tears, and the songs that He gives along the way. But most of all for Jesus...the Author and Finisher of our faith. It is with grateful hearts that we share with you here.

Happy 16th Birthday

Not sure how it happened.

But my dear sweet little guy...


...the one who could be so very ornery and so very irresistible at the same time...

...the one who would have given you the shirt off his back...
...the one who took care of his little brother as if it were his responsibility...



...the one who knew how to pick at his big brother even at a very early age...



...the one who told me that he had a hard time concentrating on "stuff" because all he could think about was fishing with his pappy...



...the one who was disappointed by any gift that was not a train...




...how is it...that my dear sweet little guy...


...Is now a dear sweet BIG guy. Matthew turned 16 yesterday!







He is a gem. He is seriously one sweet guy.



Makes his momma proud.



Giving and considerate, and spends literally hours a day reading his Bible.



Matthew, I am so glad to be your Momma.



Happy 16 Dear Matthew!
