Matthew Clinton

Today is Matthew's 12th Birthday.  He was named after is maternal grandfather and was born on our 34th wedding anniversary.

He was our 11th grandchild and 7th grandson and was the best anniversary present we ever got! He's an important part of this large family.

And an even more important part of this smaller family.

And here is Matthew, pictorially, 'through the years'.

Matthew is a smart, loving, athletic, and sweet person.  He's in the gifted and talented program at his school and he's a dedicated, natural athlete who excels in every sport.

So Happy Birthday, Matthew.  We're wishing you a year with achievements in middle school, Boy Scouts where you'll become a star scout, and lots of fun and success in travel basketball.
