Andrew turned nine! This boy who is known for his smile celebrated his special day in lots of fun ways. He began his day in NH with his cousins. He had spent the weekend there and was able to have an awesome morning complete with a breakfast sandwich made by big sis Brianna. She made it just the way he loves it.
He made it home in time to go out to lunch with Mom and Dad. The Golden Corral was the place of his choice. He had never been before and had never even seen a buffet- besides at home ;) He was amazed!
And, could a birthday get even better? Cotton Candy! Sweet sugar heaven!
He totally has the coolest mom ever. Each "candle" represented 3 years of his precious life. (ummm....must have used up the rest of the candles with the last birthday. oops!)

Each child's birthday makes me stop and remember the circumstances surrounding their birth. I remember it well. During labor Drew decided to flip into a breech position so the doctor had to do an inversion. Fun. Thankfully it worked- the alternative was a c-section. It was not an easy labor and finally it came to a point where Matt tried to convince the doctor that I was in transition and it would be any moment. She wouldn't listen though- she had already decided that it would be hours before the baby came. When I told her something felt very strange she reluctantly agreed to check things out. Imagine my terror when she screamed! True story. Baby Andrew was lying on the bed. One point for dad, minus one for the doctor!
It has been an amazing nine years with this full of life, sweet, thankful, sensitive boy. Happy Birthday to our wonderful son!
loved getting to have him on his birthday!! :)
