Happy Birthday Chris

 We had a fun weekend celebrating Chris's birthday. He and I had a solo night thanks to Grammy and Papa and got to get a couples massage and relax. We love you Daddy!

May odds and ends

                                   Hugs with his teachers Mrs. Tricia and Mrs. Beasmen

 While I was at the grocery store I came home to Chris telling me Andrew had been stabbed by Julian in the eyelid with a toy spygear knife. It was a pretty gaping hole and I was nervous it would cause vision issues, so off to the ER we went.

 Some Dermabond glue later we were set to leave.

Kindergarten Field Trip fun

                                                 Mother's Day Show from Chris

                        Julian stopped napping about 10 months ago, but if he is moving after 4pm there is a chance this will happen.

 Soccer shots. Andrew was way to old, but we were there with Ryan anyway...

Happy Mother's Day

We spent the day going to church, an Orioles game, and then home for dinner with the family.

Happy Birthday Andrew!

This big guy turned 9!?!? It seems like the years get getting faster and faster, and before we know it he will be going off to college!

 Birthday weekend breakfast with Grammy and Papa.

 He had a laser tag party again at Red Zone (which accompanied some SUPER blurry pictures!)

He asked for a new lacrosse stick and doughnuts for breakfast.

Andrew REALLY wanted his own ipad, and Chris and I told him we wouldn't buy him one, but would help if he could pay for at least half of it. He got so much from family and Target gift cards from friends that he had enough! He has been glued to his ipad and loves his texting capabilities. 

At NINE, Andrew

~loves piano, football, reading, lacrosse, ninja warrior courses in the backyard and animals

~very tuned in to other peoples feelings and is very sensitive

~has really matured in his humor and is super quick to chime in 

~is NOT fond of being woken up anymore for things

~is still a great student and really enjoys it. Math is his current favorite subject but he can easily read a book or two a day if time allows. 

~is slowly turning into a know-it-all pre-teen

We LOVE you buddy!!
