Andrew's Birthday Party

This evening we celebrated Andrew's birthday with our family. We enjoyed dinner, presents and ice cream cake :) Andrew especially loved spending time with his cousins and opening ALL of his birthday presents. Each present was more exciting than the last and the birthday boy was so excited for his new toys and games. Thanks to everyone for making this birthday so special for our little birthday boy!!

Happy 4th Birthday, Andrew!!

We can't believe another year as gone by and we are celebrating Andrew turning 4!! Andrew is such a sweet, helpful, loving and smart little boy. He keeps us on our toes and is constantly making us laugh. We can't get over Andrew's progress in the past year and are so proud of our little boy!! We are looking forward to another great year ahead.

It was a big day for the birthday boy. We started out with yummy cinnamon rolls for breakfast before school. He was so excited to head to school on his birthday. Andrew got to bring in a special birthday snack - cookies and rainbow sherbet to share with his classmates. After school, we surprised Andrew with a day just with Mommy and Daddy. First, we headed to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch and games, then went to get Andrew's 4 year pics taken, picked out a toy at the toy store and then finally came home for a yummy birthday dinner. A big thanks to Gigi and PaPa for watching Nathan for us so we could have some time with just the big birthday boy!!

Bowling for Bikes

Today, Steve and I along with some of our family headed to Tropicana Lanes to raise money for Bikes for Kids by Variety Club. Nathan will be receiving one of the thirty custom-made therapeutic bikes at this event in December. We are thrilled that Nathan is one of the lucky recipients and can't wait to get him riding and feel the independence that every child should feel by riding a bike.

A huge THANKS to Grandma, Pops, Uncle Ed, Aunt Marie, Uncle John, Uncle Todd and Aunt Laura for coming out for some bowling fun and to Gigi and PaPa for watching Andrew, Nathan and Mary while we were knocking some pins down :)
