Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker

It was a BIG Weekend at our house!

1st things 1st: Drew has discovered that he can stand up without holding on to anything! It is so cute. After about 2 seconds he realizes what has happened and he either falls down or starts crying.



2nd: My husband and I met Bill Clinton! Yep! I'm a big fan! Bill was the 1st President I voted for after I turned 18 and he was in Richmond Saturday hosting a rally for Hillary. We got their early and were able to secure a good spot down front. After his hour long speech, we were able to shake hands. It was definitely a moment! He has soft hands....my husband tells me to stop saying that but it is true. The Secret Service were all over him while he was working the crowds...they came around yelling "no pens!"..........



Sadly, Drew had a date with Grandma Carolyn and was unable to make it! For those of you counting, I have now seen 2 Presidents live and in color....Bill and GW.....of course, GW was only because I wanted to see Ricky Martin perform and I met Bill......



Anyway, our State Primary is tomorrow. For those in VA, MD and DC.....don't forget to vote!



and for the Drew fans that look at this site.....please check back on Valentine's Day for an extra special picture!

A Star is Born!






I know it's been awhile since we last posted but we've been busy visiting folks and learning how to blow bubbles and throw food! Yippee!
In preparation for Drew's 1st Birthday in March, we took him to get some pictures taken to commemorate the occasion. Now, as you know my dad is also a photographer but he doesn't specialize in kids photos so we wanted to go somewhere with props....do you see any props???? All in all, a nice deal for the money, but I was a little disappointed with the props or lack thereof.
In other news, it looks like Mickey Mouse will be the theme we will be using for Drew's party...we have a Mickey cake and Mickey plates, napkins, cups and balloons....what more could we need? I'm a little partial to Goofy myself, but Mickey is pretty cool and Drew LOVES him and I mean LOVES! When the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse comes on in the morning, he drops his bottle and just stares at the TV.....it is so cute.
Anyway, hope all is well with you and yours! We will post soon so you can get your Drew "fix".
