So, to continue on with the graduation of Matthew and Michael, I feel it only fair to pull out the old pics of Matthew, aka Chewby, from earlier years as well. First a few of the boys together again.

I absolutely LOVE this picture! Michael, Matthew and our Grandma Addie Doernberg in pretty much every piece of her jewelry.

One of my favorite Matthew memories is when we asked him to get packed to go to Grandma’s house. We checked in the suitcase when he said he was finished: only his animals had made it into the suitcase. There was no room for anything else.

Here are Matt and I out on the bike path.

So I have shown 2 younger pics of myself, so it is only fair that we bring Scott into the action.

Finally, Matthew being the great uncle he is with Sawyer.

The impetus for our trip home to Ohio was the graduation of my brothers, Michael and Matthew, from high school. It was an absolutely beautiful day for a graduation, and I am so proud of them for their achievement of this goal.

Although I tried to have someone snap at least one picture of the boys next to each other in their caps and gowns, I don’t think it occurred. We will all just have to be happy with these.

Sawyer had such an amazing time with Michael. Michael is so good with Sawyer. They are just so sweet together.

Sawyer met his Uncle Matthew and Uncle Michael last week.

Michael took literally hundreds of pictures of Sawyer over the week I was home. We realized at the end of the week that there were no pictures of them together, so I took care of that.

Matthew meets his nephew and learns how to hold him all at once.
