Check out this video: You are my sunshine
I was looking through my videos of Matthew and here is one of Matthew and I singing "You are my Sunshine". For some reason, he always used this guttural tone when he sang this tune. Disregard my singing, I was just talking him through the words.
Memphis and Beale Street.
We had the best time. We saw Keith Urban and Graceland....all in the same weekend! Can't get better than that!
I now know why I only had one child.
I have my lovely grandson with me and it's that bloody time of the month. My grandson decides that he desperately needs to see water flow through the tube of my last roll of toilet paper.
The lil shit is sleeping now and he looks so angelic that I can't possibly be upset with him.
Below is another photography masterpiece of his.
My little man left me last night after a week of being here. I will miss him terribly but I was happy to have him for as long as I did. He left me with his brilliance as a photographer. I will share with you some of the pictures he took with my digital camera:
A few self portraits:
My Kitchen Floor
Drumsticks
A coaster
A doorknob
My bedspread
And just in case we forget he's a typical male:
I come to you with pictures of my favorite little man. He is here for the week. Can you all say heaven?? He's having the dinner of champions....spaghettios. Engrossed with Dora the Explora. I know the little witch has subliminal messages going out to him...saying "buy more Dora". It's a conspiracy. Look the evil coming from the Television.

BATON ROUGE -- The reign of Mike V, LSU’s beloved mascot who died early Friday morning, will be remembered as one of the most glorious periods in the history of LSU athletics.
Mike V, who moved into a new home on Aug. 27, 2005, served as the official mascot of LSU Athletics from 1990 until his death Friday.
The royal Bengal tiger was born on Oct. 18, 1989, and first moved into his home across from Tiger Stadium on April 30, 1990.
Mike actually attended his first sporting event on February 21, 1990, when he was introduced to a roaring crowd at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center for a men’s basketball game. The Tigers beat Alabama that day, 75-69, in Shaquille O’Neal’s freshman year.
“Mike V was a noble mascot who was loved by Tiger fans young and old, and he represented all that is proud and dignified about LSU,” said LSU athletic director Skip Bertman. “Mike has reigned over a magnificent era of Tiger Athletics and he is missed today by LSU fans the world over.”
During his tenure, Mike V reigned over a football national championship, five baseball national championships and a remarkable 23 track and field championships. He saw LSU sports teams win 37 Southeastern Conference titles from 1990 to 2007.
Mike V succeeded Mike IV who served as LSU’s mascot from 1976-90.
