Andrew is ELEVEN

 It seems like yesterday I was planning this guys first birthday party! Now he is all grown up!

 Andrew had 6 boys come over to eat pizza, head to the movies, and sleepover. They were SOO loud:)

 Celebrating with the family

 That night each child got a special aunt/uncle bedtime reading

 That night, he had a lacrosse game that I tried to get him to skip :) He wouldn't, and he scored his first 2 goals and had 2 assists!

At 11, Andrew...

                                                     Girlfriend is ON.THE.MOVE

                                       She still has ROLLs for days....but is starting to thin out-especially her face

 She likes to climb under and over and around...loves to be growled/chased, LOVES music and Alexa

 and eating...she can eat 24/7...

                                            Its a rough life. It is hard to believe we will be planning a celebration for ourselves in just two short months! We kept 4 kids ALIVE for an entire year!

My friend Katie from NYC/CT/now CO was in DC celebrating a friend and made a quick pit stop to see us! We had a very short and amazing catch up! 

 My friend Jillian was in "Catch Me If You Can" at the local community college. It was so great to see her in her natural element!

 She figured out the vents...
