happy birthday andrew

There is something unique about Andrew.  For some reason when anyone meets our family, they usually comment specifically about him.  More specifically his eyes and smile.  I have never seen anyone so excited to have a  birthday as he was.  His eyes give away everything he is feeling (not always an advantage!).  Every minute of this day his eyes were just shining!  He was a hyper ball of energy and happiness today, telling us it was his best birthday ever.

Breakfast with Mom and Dad



Drew is trying to be the Sword Drill Champion of the family.  Not only does he compete in the early morning sword drills, he competes one on one with Matt every morning when Matt helps him with his Quiet Time.  He practices A LOT.  Here he is practicing in the car on the way home from breakfast.  I heard him say, "Lamentations 1:1- CHARGE!"
Here they are later in Matt's office in the middle of a Sword Drill.
Alissa made his cake and made sure to let him know when he could lick the bowl.




We love this kid so much and thank God that he is a very special part of our family!
