Happy Spiritual Birthday!!!

Today at Michael's the four of us had a very special party for Drew... it was a celebration of the fact that Drew asked Jesus into his heart on Thursday. It was so special... he started a conversation with me in the car on Wednesday about Heaven and I was able to share with him what it means to be a Christian. We continued the conversation on Friday and he told me proudly that he had asked Jesus into his heart in our backyard the day before. He was able to tell me exactly what that meant. Since then, he has been doing all kinds of nice things "because I have Jesus in my heart". It's been so sweet and I am so proud and so happy! Drew knew that our party was a "mirror" of the party God & His angels were having in heaven for him.

To commemorate the day, I bought him his first real Bible. He & Nick have several story Bibles and Drew reads them all the time, so he was so excited to get this one. He didn't want to go to sleep tonight because he wanted me to show him everything that was inside.

In addition to the Bible, he got a fun balloon and some homemade cupcakes! Of course they were strawberry... Drew's favorite.

We all shared the cupcakes, but Nick thought the most fun way to eat one was simply to stick his face right down into the frosting.




This weekend, with the boys gone to Matt's, Michael & I spent the whole weekend doing nothing but relaxing together. It was wonderful.
