Party- Heart..y!!!

Celebrated Mattie C’s 21st birthday last night at “Chad’s Place”....
Crazy zoo antics again....
He received some gifts in a “Barbie Bag”....fake money to pay for his college education and other curricular activities, miniature glitzy party shoes which we insisted that he put his size 11 foot in...and walk!
Joshua had to put them on as well!!!
Lynn and I prepared...too much food, as usual.
Pops cooked and cooked on the grill.....strawberry pie, birthday cake, party poppers etc. Sure am glad it was NOT at my house!
Being 21, 3rd year of college, having gorgeous Ashley at his side and all his crazy family around him......Mattie C still had his somber moments....
For you see....Mattie C is a ’deep’ thinker!
Yes, he enjoys a good time of family fun....but his internal focus is that of an.....intellectual muse.
Muse in this sense means...to think deeply and at length.....
How Matthew got into this family is one of those...acts of God that makes insurance void!
Actually “Matthew” means...Gift of God......so there is my answer!
Our family certainly needs and enjoys......Mattie C.
We are glad he was ’borned’ to us!!!

See Matt.....Celebrate Life....the “Good Life” way!
