Dear Matthew,
Oh, boy... I just love you. Someday, maybe we'll know what goes on in that little head of yours, where your ideas come from, and why you do the things you do. It is probably pretty tough fun being the 5th child in a busy family. I'm glad you find many thrilling things to fill your time.
I am always amazed at the things I find when I come back from the bathroom, getting the mail, grabbing something from another room, or after taking a shower. Those prescious few moments you have to yourself must be invigorating.
This little soup you made for Shoji was just the thing I needed to make my day. It will be so much fun digging those hot dog parts and wet dog food out of the slurry. You were so thoughtful to make something so delicious for your best canine friend. She loves you. And so do I. I remind myself several times a day.
