Drew is SEVEN years old!!!

March has one of my favorite holidays.... Drew's birthday! Nothing like celebrating the birth of your first child! I cannot believe he is SEVEN years old already!! He had a super hero birthday party and invited all his friends to come as their favorite super hero, real or made up. It was GREAT!

It has been 7 wonderful years with my son. Definitely ups and downs, but boy he is worth so much more!

Drew is coming to the end of 1st grade! He is doing awesome. He has a great teacher, Mrs. Howard. I feel like the Lord personally picked her out for Drew. She has just the right amount of compassion and encouragement to get Drew to do what he needs to do. His handwriting is amazing now! It was terrible at the beginning of the year, but he has really learned to take his time and do it right! He is also reading wonderfully! I know, I'm his mother, I have rosy shades, but I am so pleased with all the progress he has made this year!

I think we are all ready for summer vacation though. Ready to not get up early and take our time. and of course play outside. We also enjoy the free movies at Regal and Showcase! This year will be different, Drew will need to write the book reports now! He had been too young in the past. It will be fun getting him to do that so he can go to the movies. Looking forward to seeing the summer movie list!

March 2010

Well, today was the end of Michael's job. It definitely is a scary time, but we are doing the best we can. We were able to save a little to be prepared but a job would be a wonderful thing right about now! We are confident in the Lord and know that he has the situation under control!
