Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2006. Mattie was four years old and as you can see full of spunk and a sense of humor. He took his tunnel, that he typically would crawl through, and decided he wanted to stand up in it and walk up the stairs with this thing around him. It did not work out too well and he did not make it passed the first three steps. At which point Mattie stopped and sat down on the stairs. Naturally I felt that whole scene deserved a photograph. What I also love about this photo was it captured the line up of shoes that we used to have going on our staircase. ONLY Mattie's shoes. Mattie always had three pairs of shoes on the stairs during all seasons. That way when he was ready to go outside, he had one of three of his favorite seasonal shoes to select from before leaving. It worked! Of course our staircase no longer looks like this, but I do remember the days.

While gardening, something jumped out at me. As it jumped, so did I! Meet our resident cricket. Mattie would have absolutely loved him!
