Happy Birthday Drew! 

Andrew was born in Medford, Oregon on August 7th, 1999.  The little stinker tried to come a tad too early (on July 4th and he was due Aug 22nd) so I had to enjoy the leisure life of bed rest while tending to 18 month old Annika.  I knew he was a boy before they even told me.  He is exactly what I expected. He is wicked smart about so many things.  He has such a creative mind.  He is a secret artist with out of this world talent.  He also has a very sensitive and caring heart (like his dad).  He is very selective of his friends and also the people he allows himself to get close to.  He is so funny he makes my ribs hurt.  His smile lights up my life.  He is such a good son, he is always making sure that I am ok.  Although he is very funny, he is also very serious.  He takes things in deeply.  What a blessing he is to us!
