| Holding Hannah and Genevieve's cards for his birthday! |
Drew turned 9 on a Sunday back in September. Unfortunately for him, we were dealing with Isaac having really scary high fevers still on his birthday. So, only some of us went to church in person that day. We had to cancel our family Sunday dinner plans. (Isaac ended up going back to the ER on Monday morning because he was still having high fevers and our family doctor would not see him in person. She recommended I take him to the ER and get COVID and strep tests done. The COVID was negative and the strep was positive. Antibiotics did do the trick, but I was never convinced he had strep since he had no throat symptoms at all. Thankfully, he did get better though!)
Anyway, poor Drewy's birthday plans were delayed. We stayed home watched a movie, played a family game, made some brownies, and watched his baby videos. He had a good day and never once complained that it wasn't special or a fun day. I'm so glad we were able to make it special for him under the circumstances. He got some seriously nice cards from his immediate family members.

| Since he wanted a Green Ember cake, I made his card to match. In case you don't know, Green Ember is a book series about rabbits with swords that he has read and reread all summer long and continues to do so. |

| Although, hard to see on the screen, it is adorable and had to be put on here. This is one side of Bob's card for Drew. It is a picture of me (mom) and Drew holding a baby. That is because the 9 year old privilege in our home is to hold babies while standing or walking. This is the first time there hasn't been a baby in the house when one of my kids turns 9, so it was a bit of a let down for him. The other privilege is a special talk/date with mom or dad which he'll get later in the year. |

Happy birthday, my sweet huggable Drew!
