Matthew is 10!!

 Hard to believe that Matthew is 10 years old already.

 Matthew wanted a treasure hunt...so I made sure it kept him busy for a while. He wasn't happy that the clues led him outside...despite that, he survived the elements.

 Melanie stepped in to help. It was too long and difficult to keep Matthew interested on his own. Oops.

 I am pleased that he made his own cake. I mixed up the icing and spread the base, and Matthew added the final touches.

 Matthew wanted to go minigolfing again. It was fun again.

 And the cake was tasty!

 And a handmade outdoor putting "range" with some used golf balls to go with it.

 Using a handmade knife as a letter opener. ;)

What a joy it is to have Matthew in our family. He is a bit more artistic in style and thought and more outgoing than the other children.  And just as wonderful. :)
