Andrew's Cake Photo Shoot

We took Andrew to get some real photos done taking on a smash cake.  The results were simply incredible for a mall photographer.  These are just a few of the highlights.

12-Month Photos!

It's been a year.  A whole year since Andrew was born!  It's getting much harder to keep him still enough to get pictures just on the blue background, so there's some extra spill on these!

Heavy Hearts

A very good friend of ours, our next door neighbor, passed away last night.  He lost his fight with brain cancer.  He was only 37.  He and Andrew always had something special together.  Every time I posted a picture of Andrew on Facebook, Jason would immediately repost it.  He called him his nephew.  They truly loved each other.  

It's hard to gear up for Andrew's first birthday knowing that Jason won't be there.  All of our hearts will be heavy and his presence will be missed.  BUT, Jason would never, in a million years, want to stop a celebration for the little boy he loved so much.  So maybe instead, we'll all take a moment to raise a glass to Auntie Jason.  

Three Hour Naps!

Three hour naps make EVERYBODY feel better!

A trip to Hilton Head

Last week, we packed up the car and took a trip over to Hilton Head, SC.  Emily's dad was there, and Emily's sister Jennifer along with husband Chip and daughter Magnolia (Andrew's cousin, one week older!) came down as well.  So it was a fun family get-together.  Lots of pictures from the week, and below are just a few of them!

Everybody Needs a Cape

11-month Photos

Andrew is 11 months old today.  It is seriously unbelievable how fast it is going.  It's also amazing how much he is starting to learn and figure out.  But anyway...on to the photos!
