My littlest brother Matt turned eight on Sept. 19th, 2013. This little brother - who was born during my freshman year in college - is growing up fast and the next eight years will go even faster I think. I was blessed to be able to fly up with the kids (my second time flying solo with them!) to see him on that special day. It also worked out as a tender mercy that I was also able to see my Grandpa Furse while he was in the hospital - my last time in his presence in this life (see an upcoming post for more on that).
I love Mattie - amid his quirks :)
He loves Claire so much and I'm so grateful she has a fun uncle to play with amongst all the grown-ups in their lives.
Brand-new brother - Sept. 2005

The fall weather we got to experience was so perfect, crisp, and what I've been missing down in AZ!
