Update...

So it's been a real long time since we last posted. A lot has been going since Colin's B-day. We had a golf tournament for Colin which raised $2,000 for the local Ronald McDonald house to help parents with kids who are sick in our local children's hospital. The brand new Golisano Children's Hospital opened in September and they are in the process of updating the Syracuse Ronald McDonald House so we wanted to help out. We passed Colin's one year anniversary and continue to miss him everyday.

Lastly, we continue to watch Drew grow up, play, laugh, eat, crawl and now cruise behind things and all around the couches. We're hoping that he's walking by Christmas. Yesterday was Halloween.. Drew dressed up as a race car driver. On Friday, they had a costume parade at his daycare. You can see a photo below of me and Drew. We had a party at his cousins friday night and then on yesterday we took him to several houses and had some family over. Plus you add in the hour time change and he is really thrown off.... I also posted some pictures of him that I took tonight... Enjoy....

Happy 3rd Birthday Colin....

Today is Colin's 3rd birthday... Please say a prayer for him. We know that he is eating birthday cake with his great grandparents.

He looks so cute and happy in this picture. We love you buddy and miss you so much. So many of your friends and family will be together at your golf tournament this weekend to celebrate you, Colin.

Happy Birthday.

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, & Drew

New Do.....

Drew's hair was getting a little crazy so Grandma cut it. Take a look......

Doesn't he look like Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber.... Drew was not a fan of getting his hair cut, in fact he cried the whole time.....

Much better all messed up....

In other news... Drew stood up with help from the couch yesterday..... We dropped the crib height immediately.... He also got his first cold but has handled it well. All the snots... Jeez....

Back from the Beach.....

So our week long trip to Ocean City, NJ is over.. Drew spent probably 3 hours on the beach the whole week. First off, it was really hot and humid when we gotthere which made him kind of cranky out on the beach. He wouldn't sleep because he wanted to crawl and eat sand all day... Like a friend of ours said it was like alligator wrestling trying to keep him off the sand. We then got smart as grandma went and bought him a small pool to let him lay in on the beach which worked well. Take a look at the beach pictures.....

"Having fun in the air"

"Baby Pool"

At night, we would go out to the boardwalk and either eat junk food, walk in stores or watch his cousins on the amusement rides.... Drew even went on one by himself (well with daddy)...

"Holding on with two hands"

"One hand like a maverick"

These pictures were taken on our last night there...

"Drew and Family"

"Cousins"

Almost Vacation.....

So this upcoming Friday we are leaving for a week to go to the Jersey Shore... Drew can't wait. He even tried on Colin's scopes to make sure they looked good on him (he thinks he is gonna meet some ladies)... Take a look...

Drew...

Colin (The original ladies man)...

He also had some good times jumping in his little jumper... Take a look at the video...

Also this week, Daddy went to Citi Field while on work in NYC to see the Mets play the Colorado Rockies. I can't wait to go with him.. He did get to see my cousin Meghan and Uncle Brian. Check out the picture of Meghan and Daddy with Mr. Met....

On The Move.....

So Drew this week has started to do the army crawl all over the place. He goes after everything now... My favorite is when he scoots over to the AC vent and leans over it. His hair blows straight up and his face and hands start to freeze... He loves it... Here are two videos of him moving around. Doesn't he look like the old man's dog on Family Guy?

6 months old, trip to CT and hanging out with my family

Drew is 6 months old today...it went by so fast! Other than some diaper rash he's doing great. Drew has been really busy. He spent time in CT and had his first pool party!! He's getting ready for his Jersey shore vacation in a few weeks. He's always happy & smiling.


Drew is creeping on his stomach all over the floor these days. It's only a matter of time until he will be on all floors and Mommy and Daddy will be really busy! It has been so exciting for us to watch him move around. Enjoy the pictures....

So happy to be with Daddy



Playing with Brady (one of his only boy cousins)
