Welcome!

I've noticed that I have several new readers, and I'd like to welcome you to my blog! I would like to say a special welcome to one very special new reader. I received an email from my nephew last week letting me know he had subscribed to my blog. I feel very honored to make his list of things to read. Not all boys want to read their aunt's blog!

As part of my welcome, I want to wish Drew a very happy ninth birthday! His birthday was earlier this week, and we celebrated with him last weekend. I remember so clearly the morning that Drew was born, and I can't believe that it's been five years. He was the first baby that I ever scrapbooked. He was the first toddler that I adventured with (although I doubt he remembers our visit to the bird blind with a stop for pink ice cream). We've gone berry picking, museum exploring, zoo walking. These days, we play Rock Band (mostly separately, but I know he knows my favorite song to sing, and I know his), and he tells me the finer points of Pokemon and Club Penguin.

Happy Birthday, Drew, and welcome.
