First of all, I had a wonderful birthday this past Thursday! My co-workers surprised me with a luncheon. Richard McBee brought his grill from home and grilled burgers and hot dogs. That was accompanied by wonderful deserts, beautiful flowers, balloons, and WII games for participation and entertainment. Kayla brought Drew by to see me which was the best gift ever. I put him down on the floor at work and he crawled for the first time of any distance of course. He loved playing with the balloons as you can see in the picture.
The girls at work gave me a coupon for a pedi! That is very much needed right now and then some extra money. Ann gave me beautiful satchel/laptop case. Mom gave me some money to get a couple of more place settings of the fiesta ware I am trying to collect. In-laws gave me a Wal-Mart gift card. I have already spent it; I needed some bath towels really bad. Richard took me to Olive Garden that night and it was wonderful. I have such a sweet husband. He hates Italian food and had never been there before! He also order our new carpet on Thursday. Can't wait to get that installed. So missed seeing Kristin. And I had over 70 birthday wishes from friends on Facebook. I truly am so blessed. TYJ!

Then on to the Memorial Day holiday. Kayla had to work yesterday, Saturday, so I got to keep Drew. As I stated above he is officially crawling now AND pulling up on things. He can pull completely up to a standing position. . . . there is no stopping him now. He has two bottom teeth, one upper front tooth, and about three other nubs that are fixing to pop thru. No wonder the little guy had been feeling a little rough. He is eating food so good. He had sweet potatoes and a fruit for lunch. Tried to feed him peas, that didn't go over very well. Of course that was my fault because the peas came AFTER the fruit. Duh, Nana. Anyway, of course we had to have a photo shoot. This was for his 8 month old pictures. I cannot believe he is 8 months old today.

There is no posing right now at this age. You just have to be quick with the shutter button an get what you can. But he is so photogenic.
Aunt Kay and Uncle Mike are in from CA. Uncle John and Aunt Lillian are in from TX along with Sherry and Nathan and their girls. Misty also brought her boyfriend, Ben. I hope to get some good picture of the family a little later today. Shonna is cooking supper for everyone tonight.
