Matthew was nicknamed "Peanut" by his mother shortly after birth. How shortly, we're not really sure anymore; within the first few sleep-deprived days is all we remember. Matthew never did go through that period of sleeping all the time that baby books tell you newborns are supposed to have. Since his first abnormally alert days he's just become more and more active, and at some point his uncle Grant conferred upon him the moniker Savage.

Kites
I bought kites for the kids' Easter baskets. Here's how that turned out:
Corinna is holding her kite in the wind happily, as it blows about five feet in front of her.
Melissa is running through the field with her kite behind her, trying to get it to take off.
Isaac has been throwing a tantrum for half an hour because his kite's tail got a knot in it.
Tommy got bored of kites, and is holding onto my legs moaning because he wants to get a drink, but he is worried that people near the water fountain a few yards away will see him if I don't come with him.
