Matt turns 13 years old!

Last Friday evening, on September 18th, we celebrated Matt's 13th birthday! His Dad and I asked him what kind of celebration he wanted. He chose to have his birthday held at "Deliciosos" - a new rotisserie chicken place that was recently opened this past year. Jim and Matt goes to the restaurant once or twice a week. They've come to know the owner and his family at the establishment. They've really taken a liking to Matt. They are a family from Peru and Matt says it's the best chicken he's ever tasted. They have a special sauce that he loves. Al, the manager/owner, requested that Matt spend his birthday in the restaurant. When we arrived, we were treated to a lovely meal. Afterwards, Al surprised Matt by bringing him a mylar balloon and a perfect sized ice cream cake! Matt was so honored to have his family and his new found Peruvian friends around him on his special day. As for gifts, he just wanted money so he could buy a few video games or a new game system. He's grown so fast and his Dad and I are so proud of him and what a nice young man he's turned out to be! I can't believe he's already a teenager!

Happy 12th Birthday Matt!


Happy 12th Birthday Matt!
Day before his birthday, Matt got his physical for baseball (overdue). The doctor announced that he was due for his 12 year old shots. Matt simply turned to me and said, "Nice birthday gift Mom." He was very brave as he received 4 shots; 2 for each arm (Hepatitus, Chicken Pox, Tetanus, and Menengitis). On his birthday, he had a sore throat, fever, and cold symptoms. Needless to say, his birthday was quiet. Luckily, before his birthday, he didn't want a big celebration. He got what he wanted and has been waiting for almost 2 years!
