Happy Birthday Matthew

Today is my son Matthew's birthday. I can't believe he is 29 years old. The years have went by fast for me. When I think back it seems like only days ago when I brought him home . He was always a very active baby and child. He was crawling at 6 months and walking at 9 months. As a child he was always taking things apart to see how they worked. He was very good in school making good grades without much effort. He still uses his head to come up with ways to make things easier to do and manage. He works for us on the farm now.It has been good having him to help with the work plus it gives he and his Daddy time together.

He has a son of his own now and I can tell he loves him very much and is proud of him already.

Children are truly a blessing from God,a special gift he gives us for a time until they spread their wings and go in their own directions. Then you just have to trust God to take care of them and sit back and watch and be there for them.I hope his son brings him as much joy as my children have brought to me. I can't imagine my life without them. Both of my children are special to me and I hope they know how much I love them.I am very thankful to have them .
I am attaching a picture of Matthew at one and four with his sister Miranda . The cakes were done by me this was when I was into the Wilton cake decorating. I am sure the family got tired of my cakes I was always cooking one. Cindy his wife is cooking him a Mississippi Mud cake this year.

I didn't get his picture today we were all busy getting the chickens ready to sell. The catchers will be here at 1am to start the process and by midnight Wednesday they will all be gone. I think we are all ready for a few days break.
