Before 7 am this morning, Drew had already unwrapped and put on his Christmas Eve jammies. Drew’s defense: “What’s wrong? The package said open on Christmas Eve and TODAY is Christmas Eve!!!”
Drew: "Mom, can I make you a present for Christmas Eve?"
Me: "Umm, sure!"
Drew: "Can I use one of my old socks?"
Me: "Umm...."
Morley left some chocolates with a much-needed reminder for the kids to use kind words.
Drew reported: “Mom, you have to use sweet words with me cuz you love me and Morley said so.”
Not sure the message got through to him.

Drew interrupted the dinner prayer and said, "You know at the end of the prayer you say, 'Name of Jesus Christ, Amen'? Don't say that part. Instead, say 'Happy New Year!'"
Miriam: "Why?"
Drew: "'Cause it's for Christmas!"

Ohhhh thank you! That is just the bit of sunshine I needed to brighten this snowy day. They are sooo cute together. And that sweet sparkly eyed boy! I just want to scoop him up!
I'm gonna go look again!
So adorable, Miriam! I wish I had been able to spend more time with little Drew. I'm missing Tess Bess too.
Those two are SO precious!!
I came back for my morning baby fix and I noticed that Drew DESPERATELY needs to be kissed right under his chin. Please do this for me immediately.
He's so quickly turning into his very own person. I don't think he resembles Tess as much now. Wish I could pick him up and cuddle him.
xxoo Nana
I've been showing everyone at work these pictures today, and everyone agrees that I am a very lucky grandma! Today is even "Free Fine Day" in the library in honor of my newest grandson!
I love him!! He is such a sweet littlet baby!
Miriam-I am impressed you have time to ready any blogs at all! Yes, i got the idea off of Clover Lane. She posted the exact same post last year. We bought the wood and were going to do it just like she did but changed our minds. It took me forever to come up with the final version! :)
Drew is so sweet! I love the picture of him and Tess where he is raising his eyebrows and he has little wrinkles on his forehead! So cute!
I hope newborness is treating you well and that you get rest here and there!
Love the FUNNY tidbits. I laughed and laughed!
He is so beautiful! What a sweet little family.
I like Tess' Tidbits! Poor "little peanut." She picked a nick name that will be hard to live down :)
I made Drew's first mini album! But it could sure use some text. If you want to throw out a few details of the birth/hospital stay, I could finish it up for him :)
Love you guys!!
I'm not sure I'm ready to relive that experience. You can just say that he was ready to get here. Contractions started at 6 am, the day before Thanksgiving and I told Ryan I thought this baby would be here within 48 hours. By 9 am I called the doctor with contractions 5 mins apart. By the time they saw me at 11 am, they were 2-3 mins apart and I thought I was going to have the baby in the doctor's office. They decided to admit me and had me walk over to the hospital. Drew was here by 12:45 pm, with no time for an epidural. Au naturel.
That's enough reminiscing for now. Do you have a phone yet?
