Growing & Changing this Summer
Drew & Will's Newest...
Happy Summer! We are so glad the weather has been so beautiful and warm here in Maine. We have had lots of sunny, busy days and have been meaning to write and post some pics. But, the summer has just been flying by!
Drew: Drew finished Kindergarten @ the end of June and is getting ready for 1st grade!!! He had a super Kindergarten year and accomplished a lot! He made some new friends, learned to read, write and also picked up some great math skills. He has 3 loose teeth now! He also started taking an interest in sports over the past year. He did a little soccer, basketball, tee-ball, and snowboarding. This summer he started Karate lessons and Gary just bought him his first set of golf clubs! Maybe Drew will be a little athlete? Hard to tell because he has so many interests. He loves to do crafts and is very particular with his work. He also has been having fun with his friends trading Pokemon cards:) Drew has been to a couple of camps this summer. A week long Cooking, Sports and Crafts Camp @ his elementary school, A nature day camp down the road from us for a week and next week he is going to Vacation Bible School. Drew has been quite busy and is always asking what can we do next?? :)
Will: Will has changed so much over the past month! At his 10 month check up he weighed over 18 lbs (25th%) and was over 30 inches long (75th%), his head also measured in the 75th%. Will is growing lots! He now has 5 little teeth (we just saw the 5th one today!), has taken many steps - actually today he took 6 steps! He is well on his way to walking! He is also a little rascal - into everything and always always trying to keep up with Drew! He just loves Drew and will pick Drew's bedroom to play in over any room in the house! Will loves to be outside and just play around in the grass or swing. He is babbling a lot, but still has not really said a first word for sure. He eats a variety of foods and usually just eats what we eat - much smaller portions of course!!! Oh and big news!!! Little Baby Will is pretty much sleeping thru the night - yahoo!!!!! It took a lot of work and many tears, but he is finally sleeping for @ least 7 - 10 hours straight now!!! Now hopefully we can all get some much needed sleep around here:)
Hope you are all enjoying your summer! Take care, Love Shasta, Gary, Drew & Will

Drew is 6!
Drew celebrated his 6th Birthday on July 9th!!!
I can not believe our "baby" is 6 now and heading to 1st grade this Fall! As we told Drew, he partied for 3 days for his birthday celebration! It started on Sunday with a party for him and his little friends. He had a Pokemon theme party with a water slide, pinata and a beautiful Maine Summer day! Then his Nannie Peek and Koda sent him a gift certificate to Target so of course he went out and searched for Pokemon cards. He went to Summer camp that week and played with his friends and then had friends over to play with on the water slide. And finally his actual birthday came and we had a big family pizza party for him! We told him that he is one lucky little boy! Happy Birthday Little Buddy!!!!! We Love You Drew!!!
