B has a wonderful business partner who he has actually known for 12 years now. They worked together when B first got out of college, and she recruited him to his current company three years ago. B loves his job immensely and we are grateful for her every day! She is a wonderful woman with an awesome family – the type of family you want to emulate. She and her husband (who is a nurse – do they get any nicer than that??) have two boys who are very tender-hearted. They LOVE Matthew and Matthew loves them. The boys (13 and 10) picked out a Christmas present for Matthew and would not allow their mom to give it to him until they could be there to watch him open it. So this weekend, we took Matthew to watch one of the boys play in a basketball tournament (OMG Matthew LOVED watching the boys play basketball!) where he got his gift afterwards.
Those boys picked out the PERFECT gift for Matthew! Turns out that they had one when they were his age and loved it for years – and just had to get it for Matthew. What did I tell you? Tender-hearted boys (even if the older one tries to act tough most the time – HA!)! When these boys see Matthew, their faces just light up and vice versa. It’s so special!
This is my weekly contribution to the Monday Snapshot over at PAIL Boggers. Check out the other cute Monday memories here!

It’s starting to startle him. He still doesn’t quite understand when he pops up, so the first one or two times each day makes him jump. We love that!
