2003-03-12/IMG_0040 During the winter of 2002-2003, Matthew learned that if you mix food colouring and snow, you get coloured snowballs! This was, of course, an important discovery in his life.
2003-03-12/IMG_0057 Winter 2002-2003: Matthew and David are busy constructing their Fortress of Solitude.
2003-05-12/DSCF0027 Two of Matthew's friends visiting in May 2003: Ryan and another boy named Matthew.
2003-05-12/DSCF0028 This is Patrick. He was Matthew's best friend in kindergarten, but his parents moved out of town.
2003-05-12/DSCF0031 David watching TV
2003-06-19/DSCF0010 This is Matthew at his 2003 school graduation. He's the one in the red shirt around the middle of the picture.
2003-06-19/DSCF0020 This is David at his 2003 school graduation. He's the one in the denim overalls near the middle of the picture, front row. To his left is his friend Matthew Burke (in the red shirt).
2003-07-22/DSCF0036 This is David and his cousin Morgen in the summer of 2003. They're decorating a cake for David's 5th birthday celebration.
2003-07-22/DSCF0042 David and his two cousins Morgen and DJ, at my in-laws' house in the summer of 2003.
2003-07-22/DSCF0043 This is Rebecca (on the left) and her old high-school friend Barb Liedtke, along with her daughter Ashley. She came to visit during David's 5th birthday get-together at my in-laws' house.
2003-07-22/DSCF0046 Again, this time with Morgen present.
2003-07-22/DSCF0053 And this is Matthew, having built a makeshift toy gun out of bits of toy 3D-puzzle blocks. My in-laws don't seem to like having toy guns around the house, but Matthew finds a way :)
2003-07-22/DSCF0059 David and Rebecca on the couch at my in-laws' house. David is starting to develop a habit of making goofy faces for the camera, as you can see.
2003-10-21/DSCF0039 This picture is back home, with the boys on the swing in the backyard.
2003-10-21/DSCF0046 Fuzzy on the lawn! Everyone loves Fuzzy.
2003-10-21/DSCF0049 This is David's birthday party back home (from his perspective, that's the nice thing about having in-laws who live hundreds of kilometres away; he gets to have two birthday parties). In attendance are some friends from school as well as the kids of an old high-school friend of mine who may be lurking somewhere near you.
2003-12-20/DSCF0008 Matthew and David just before Christmas 2003. As usual, David has a crazed, maniacal expression on his face.
2003-12-20/DSCF0009 Take two. Now both of them look just a little bit goofy.
Image0031 Matthew piloting his Go-Kart around the track.
Image0033 Matthew waiting for another turn. They really do grow up so fast ...
Image0036 David and me! Everyone loves the Go-Karts.
Image0038 Matthew getting set to take off again.

Yes, Matthew has a toy RPG. Mwahahaha ...

R1466/R001-025 Fuzzy, wondering why everybody's in costume.
R1466/R002-010 David at the zoo.
R1466/R002-015 All of us, again at the zoo, posing for a picture near a mockup African straw hut.
R1466/R002-019 This was also taken at the zoo, in some kind of petrified tree exhibit.
R1466/R002-021 The boys sitting on top of the same exhibit.
