Merry Christmas!

From Our Family to Yours...

Hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday!

The picture of Drew is of him at his Holiday concert at school. And of course, I had to get Drew and Will matching PJ's for Christmas!

Weekend in LA


















We found incredible prices on tickets to LA, so on a spur of the moment decision we booked them and headed out to CA for the first time. Gary, Drew, Will, Gary Sr, Ethan and I all went out to see Nicole (Gary's sister) graduate from the LAPD. It was a great adventure! The kids were fantastic! We saw the graduation (CONGRATULATIONS NICOLE!), road around LA at 80 mph and even made it to Hollywood Blvd! Drew just stared at all the police officers - he loved it and then Drew was amazed to see Batman, Spiderman and Darthvader walking the streets of Hollywood - you should have seen his face:) I think he was in a bit of shock at first! Actually we all were, coming from small town Maine to the big city! Drew even got to sit in the cockpit of the airplane in Chicago. If you look closely at the top pic, you will see Drew sitting in the middle of the winterwonderland holding his treasured Batman and Superman that he bought on Hollywood Blvd. The trip was lots of fun and will leave us with some great memories!

In other news little Will is 3 months old today and still going strong! He is meeting all his developmental milestones and is just an amazing baby! He loves his milk, sleeping, sucking his fists, grabbing for toys, reading and his family. He also loves giving his big brother smiles! :)

Drew


We had our first parent teacher conference meeting regarding Drew in November. It is still hard to believe he is in Kindergarten! The meeting went very well and Drew's teacher had great things to say! WAY TO GO DREW!!!! Drew is well on his way to reading, he knows lots of site words and is starting to sound out words by himself. He has started reading every night to Will after we read them a book. We have read to Drew every night since he was a baby and it really shows because Drew loves books. Although right now I will be honest - he might love Transformers and Super heroes a bit more, it must be the Kindergartner in him!

He takes French class 2 times a week at school and is saying some French words that we don't even know! He has also made some new friends, but still says his best buddy is Cam, they have been best buds since they were about 2 years old! Drew also has started adding numbers together! He is such a little smarty and a great little boy, I hope it all continues for him and us and that he will be a fantastic role model for his little brother! Speaking of, Drew changed Will's diaper for the first time today - he insisted on wearing gloves but it all went well!
