This Kid...

A month or so ago, I dedicated a post to Luke. It's only fitting that Drew gets his time in the spotlight. It's very hard to go through this stage in his life so far away from our families, as these years are truly some of the best! Incredibly challenging, yes, but also so much fun.

He is 3 1/2 - Going on 16. Sometimes 1, but mostly 16. The kid knows what he wants, when he wants it and how he's going to get it. He has a stubborn side that makes us question our parenting daily. He has a scream that can be heard from other countries. He has a fierce sense of "it's MIIINNNNEEEE!" whenever his brother touches something. But this kid. This little guy has two things that melt my heart daily. A smile and love for his family like no other. The "I love you Mamas" and "I love you Dadas" and "I love brudder" NEVER, EVER, EVER get old. When you walk in a room, Drew's smile instantly tells you how happy he is to see you.

I would never trade this little free-spirited, stubborn ball of love for anything in the world.
