Happy Father's Day









Daddy had a wonderful first Father's Day today! Drew has the best Daddy ever! Eric is the best dad and we love him so much! He is such an incredible guy and we are so blessed to have him in our lives! He is truly amazing!!! Two weeks ago Drew had his hernia operation and everything went really well. We stayed over night at the hospital just to make sure that he recovered from the anesthesia. It was really weird to see him with IV's and hooked up to monitors again. Drew was really tough, he healed fast and it seems like he is a lot more comfortable now. This past week has been a lot of fun with him. Drew had his first experience boating and swimming! Well not really swimming, he just dipped his feet in the water and splashed around. It was so much fun, he is really starting to enjoy being outside. Drew also learned to roll over from his tummy to his back this week! He has kind of been giggling a lot lately and he really giggled loud today when we kissed his cheeks. We are enjoying every day with Drew, when he wakes up in the morning we get so excited to get him out of his crib and play with him. He brings a lot of joy to our family.

I'm glad Drew's surgery went so well! He is getting so big! It still just amazes me that he has overcome so many trials in this short period of time!
