Happy 4th birthday Andrew!

Now that I have some time I thought it would be nice to dedicate a post to our Andrew John in honor of his 4th birthday.  Its hard to believe that 4 years have passed since Andrew became a part of our lives.  It seems like yesterday he was born and we were bringing home a tiny infant trying to figure out how parenthood works.  I have learned a lot from Andrew over the past four years.  I have learned to be more patient and pray for more patience daily.  He is a wonderfully smart little boy and very curious about his surroundings.  We will be riding in the car and he will point out that there is a police car (thanks buddy), mail truck, package truck, or whatever he sees.  It amazes me house observant he is.  Andrew is also a very good big brother.  Often times he shares his toys with Jacob really well and shows Jacob how to take turns.  He is also patient with Jacob (most of the time) and enjoys having a little brother to play with.  It will be fun to see how he is with his new brother or sister.  Andrew has also had some big changes this year.  Along with he and Jacob starting at a new daycare center he also started preschool at St Paul church.  So far  he is loving it and enjoys going there 3 days a week.  Since his birthday was Monday September 13 Andrew was student of the week at pre school this week.  He was able to bring something special to him to share everyday with his classmates and also brought a snack to share on Monday to celebrate his birthday.  He seemed to really enjoy it.  Andrew has brought so much joy and laughter into our lives that we couldn't imagine life without him!
