Happy 1st Birthday To Drew!!!!!

We had a fun filled week in celebration of Drew's 1st Birthday. Deciding to have a small family party for him turned out to be the best for everyone. We would have liked to have a big party on Saturday, but because of the holidays just being over, we didn't think we would get a very big response. Fortunately Michelle and I are absolutely adamant about making sure that his birthday is a very special day for him (regardless of when it might fall).

Drew was able to show up with the talent this week and give us his very first steps, and I believe a first actual word, other than DADA.I asked him for the ball and he pointed to the football (YES!! Pumping fist in air), and he said "ball". Brillant. We are sure he is gifted.. :)

I hope that everyone had as great a holiday season as we did. Somewhat bittersweet that it's all over, but it's time to get on those New Year's resolutions. Michelle has started "the Biggest Loser" Central Grade edition, and was able to recruit 40 other people from her School to try and make a run at a $200 pot after 6 weeks. I will be playing Michelles version of "Bob" the personal trainer, which in return will help me get some cardio done. We hit the gym yesterday and here I thought I was feeling good on the elliptical, made a friendly wager about who could get to a certain amount of steps first......yeah, that was a bad move. I did win, however, I am feeling the pain today. I don't think the 400 pound leg presses before hand did me any favors...
