My first time holding Baby Drew

As we ring in 2008 we are reminded of all that we have done in 2007. Pregnant and driving around New Zealand, not ideal but certainly scenic! Packing up to move back to America, bittersweet to say the least! Came back to a sweltering HOT HOT HOT summer in VA. Visited the beautiful Outer Banks for a "babymoon" with Jason. Got our stuff moved in to our house..OH WAIT..MY PARENTS moved that stuff in! We had beautiful baby Drew. Sickest I have been in my entire life and the happiest! Weird combo that I honestly hope to NEVER EVER Repeat!!! Things have been UP and down with our Drews arrival but one constant UP was the love we have for him. He is the best thing we have ever done and he makes us smile more and more everyday! We look forward to the fun milestones of 2008 and hope to share those with all of you!Love and BEST WISHES for a wonderful start to 2008!!!

Jason, Jennifer and Drew

Sanpshots from our O-HI-O trip!

No folks we havent pulled a Britney Spears and started him on Cola...he just likes to chew/suck on the cap!

I am so tired..after opening so many presents and seeing so many people I just want to go to bed..

Crazy hair!

I discovered that the hotel bed was more comfy then the packnplay...dont worry folks it was a temporary allowance and he he SO back in his own bed!
