Happy Birthday, boys!
















The boys had a great first birthday! We started off the day by seeing their photo on the news. Here is the link.


I think you may have to click on Wednesday, June 4th birthdays.
Since we have moved to WA, Andrew has had this fascination with the birthdays played daily on the local news. He watches everyday. So we sent the boys' picture in. We almost forgot and he came running down the stairs and said "birthdays!".
We then had a party and baby dedication with our small group. We were gone when the church had their baby dedication service so our group prayed for us as parents and our boys. The boys enjoyed their carrot cake cupcake. I thought Drew would be the one to chow down but it was Gavin. He ate the whole thing. He loved it! Drew held his own on the cake eating though too as you can see.
After cake, they boys crashed. Too much sugar and too much birthday!
Happy Birthday, Linda! Can you believe it has been a year?
On and interesting side note, some friends of ours had a baby boy on the boys' birthday. I was supposed to be in their wedding a year ago but it was on the boys' due date and in IN so travel was not feasible. They named him Gavin and he was same weight as our Gavin. He was a 1/2 in taller but his parents are much taller than Andrew and I. Welcome Gavin Douglas Maiden!

Oh wow. Can't believe they are 1! Glad you had a good trip to Indiana and that the boys had a fun birthday! Now people will stop asking you if they are "natural" and will start asking you when/if you will have another one/two/three. . . trust me! ENJOY!

Happy Birthday Drew and Gavin!! So glad I got to see you while you were in Indiana... Boy have you grown!
Denise, it was awesome to see you too. I'm so glad that we got to catch up.
Andrew- we didn't have a drink for you, but we did "toast" a diet coke over lunch. We'll have a drink when I come to see you guys next (maybe at the winery!)
