This year the Gardners were visiting on Drew's birthday. Their daughter Julia was turning 15 on the day before Drew so we had a joint party.
Who can resist that adorable face??
Julia had her more traditional cake and Drew had dirt cake inside a dump truck.
As Drew turns 3, it is quite a bittersweet time for me. He is now potty trained which means NO MORE DIAPERS!!!! After 13 years of changing them, I'm ready to be done.
I wish I could freeze time right now. Drew is still little, so of course he keeps us entertained with his toddler silliness and his total cuteness, but at the same time he is big enough so that life is getting a little easier. Its easier to get up and go to whatever the day has planned. I don't have to worry so much about naps (although he still takes a good nap when the schedule allows), no baby food to pack, no diaper bags, not even strollers most of the time. As much work as it takes to care for a little one, I am still sad to see the toddler years go. I've had so much fun with all the kids. The terrible two's really weren't so terrible!
We look forward to see what God has planned for Drew's life.
