Happy 1st Birthday Drew!!!

Here is the first picture taken of Drew right after he was born. Still one of my favorite photos even though it was taken with my cell phone camera. He was definitely born with those chubby checks and still has them today!!

Singing happy birthday to him...he was pretty excited. We couldn't put the cupcake on his high chair because he kept trying to grab it.

What a little cutie...he loved the frosting!!!

He was really into it!!!

Ok...I am done.

The past year with Drew has been so full of joy and wonderful memories!!! I have enjoyed watching him grow and develop to where he is now. I have loved watching his eyes light up when he sees his big brother. We have been so blessed and I am thankful for the family that the Lord has given us!!!

It is hard to believe that it has been a year since the wonderful miracle of his birth. I still remember all that we were going through at the time of his birth. We found out the day before he was born that he had turned completely breech. We were devastated and all the memories of Lily's birth came rushing back and I thought I might lose him too. I remember going to bed that night praying that God would allow him to turn and I felt so completely helpless and just tried to lay it all down at the Lord's feet. He surely was merciful and he turned Drew back to the right position over night. He allowed me to have a speedy labor and a beautiful baby boy. I don't ever remember being so thankful for anything when I heard Drew cry....
Thank you Lord for your amazing love and compassion and healing for our family!!!

We did just a small little thing for Drew tonight, and his real party will be on Sunday with some or our close friends. I am looking forward to it!! Also wanted to report that Drew has started taking some steps and will probably be walking in no time. Well it was a wonderful first year of Drew's life and I look forward to what the next year has to hold..
