Happy Birthday Andrew!

Andrew turns the all important eight today!  He is very excited, and is especially excited to be baptised next week.  Andrew has been such a good boy all of his life.  We've enjoyed every minute of him!  He was a quiet baby, fascinated with cars.  He only said "mama, dada, and uh oh" until he was about 2 1/2.  But his vocabulary has expanded greatly since then.  He's even in Extended Studies (formerly Gifted and Talented Education) and is a downright genius (seriously - he was tested!). 
Let us reminisce Andrew's earlier years, and some very important events:
Andrew did this himself.  I guess I should have picked up after myself a little better.
OOO!  You're just so cute!
Love that smile!  We see a lot of that smile, because Andrew is usually as happy as can be!
