Ravioli Day!!!

A few times of year, my mom, sister, aunt, nanna, and I gather at mom's house to make homemade raviolis.  It's a very labor intensive process but they are well worth the time and effort they require.  This day is less about the actual food and more about spending time together...ok, not really.  It's all about the food and this time, Andrew got his first taste!!

What a Lucky Kid...

What a lucky kid to have so many people around him that love him!!

Like Great-Nanna Farrugia:

Nannu Abela:

And, of course, daddy!!

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeese!!!!!

Drew is getting such a little personality!  I love it!!  He's making all these different facial expressions and the best is when you tell him to smile.  His eyes get all smooshy and he gets this big grin on his face!  Here's what we get:

He's getting to be so much fun.  I really love to see how he changes almost daily now.  Love that little dude!!

Crawling!!

On a very sad November 14th, the day Grandpa Shaw passed away, we did have a glimmer of positivity.  Little man decided to crawl for the first time!!  Well, it was 1/3 army crawl, 1/3 real crawl and 1/3 face plant but we are still proud as ever of our little guy!

Here's a pic of Drew getting ready to go:

And some video!

RIP Grandpa Shaw

On November 14th, we lost one of the greatest men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  Steve's Grandpa Shaw was like a grandfather to me and we were devastated when we found out he died suddenly of a heart attack.  Words can't even express how much we will miss him and how sad we are that Drew will never truly know him but at the same time we are so honored to have had him in our lives for so long.

On our wedding day with Grandma and Grandpa Shaw:

Perhaps my all time favorite picture of Gramps.  Here he is with my girls on our wedding day.  Look at those eyes.

Grandma looks so in love...even after 63 years of marriage.  They have always been such an inspiration to us!

Drew meeting Grandpa Shaw for the first time.  Pictures we will treasure for many years to come.

On the day of Drew's baptism:

We will always miss you Grandpa Shaw.  May you rest in peace with the Lord and know how much we love you.

My Little Man!

This picture just blows me away.  He looks so big to me!  I have to face it...he's not a little baby anymore!!!

Happy Wedding Day Auntie Theresa and Uncle Nick!!!

Auntie Theresa and Uncle Nick got married on October 16, 2010.  I got to walk Drew down the aisle so he was part of the day.  We got some pictures with him and then he went home where Aunt Diana was waiting for him.  It was an awesome day!!
