Happy Birthday Eden



Happy Birthday Eden!
We are so happy that God made you a part of our family!
We love the way you dive into life without fear
and keep up with your brothers.
We love how easy it is to make you laugh
and how quickly you dance when the music comes on.
We love how determined you are to do things yourself
And how precious your hugs are.
This year has been so much fun ...

You bring to our family what we were missing ...

We love you Miss Nana!

Matt


This weekend is big.
Why?
Because Uncle Matt is leaving. Moving to Asia - for a year.
My wonderful, great, funny, kind brother is launching out.

Let me tell you a little about "Map"

My brother Matt is the kind of person who can make 5 little boys listen to him, and none of them think he's mean. He runs after them in the park, and goes through deep mud to rescue them when their boots are stuck in the middle of a flooded baseball diamond - without a complaint about the nice shoes he's wearing. He makes them listen to their mothers. All 5 of them want to be like him. And I don't think any of us would mind if they all turned out like that.
He's a quality guy - honest, fun, clean.
Uses a lot of hair product, and has his own Sally's card.
He cleans up after himself at other people's houses.
His room is messy.
He works hard.
He's helpful. He's smart.
He has terrible handwriting.
He knows a lot of things about a lot of things.
He plays drums and soccer.
He's easy going and easy to like, but gets nervous when speaking in front of a crowd.
He can grow a neck beard - and has.
He gives good hugs.
He tells it like it is.

And last, but not least ...
He peed around my garden to keep the woodchucks away.

We're proud of you. We love you lots and we'll be missing you, praying for you and skyping you!
