Happy First Birthday Baby Drew!!!
Mommy, Daddy & Ian wish you could be with us today. It'll be soon sweet baby. We love you and hope the nannies are giving you a special hug today. We'll celebrate when you come home!!!
Latest height and weight update indicate that he's 20.9 pounds and 29.5 inches tall. No illnesses in June...Yay.
We have received so many wonderful pictures from Shelley and Lori from their recent travels. I can't post many of them here because they have other children in them...but trust me....Drew is adorable. Looks a little feisty...but adorable.
Edited today....July 10, 2008
Celebrating with Spiderman cupcakes. Ian loves his baby Drew. Also...notice that Ian's wearing his t-shirt from Vietnam Camp...for baby Drew's birthday. We had fun and enjoyed our yummy cupcakes. Soon we'll have a real birthday celebration...complete with Drew.

I know this is so hard... we went through this, too. Just know that HE won't remember, and have a HUGE party and spoil him ROTTEN to compensate when he gets home! Also, eat some chocolate cake today. Tell yourself it's for his birthday... even though it's really for your sanity!
Happy Birthday Drew!!! I know you wish you could be there with him to celebrate....still praying without ceasing that is is very soon. We will all throw a party when you get your Pre-Approval!!!

Happy Birthday Drew! We're praying that your mommy & daddy get the great news soon that they can hop on that plane to come and get you!
I can't imagine that you ever thought this day would come without Drew in your arms. I'm so sorry and will pray with so many others that God will protect your heart. I have no doubt that Drew is worth the wait and I will certainly be celebrating with you when that G&R day comes!
My heart goes out to you. I know how badly you wanted to have them by then. But. . . when you get him it will be one big celebration!! I pray it is soon. You're in my prayers.

Happy Birthday Drew! We wish you were home with your family - and you will be soon. Praying that you remain healthy and that your approval comes tomorrow!
Nadra - we love you guys. Hang in there.
Nadra, I know all about the disappointment of missing the 1st birthday. Soon, girl, soon you will get to lavish Drew with love. I'm hoping and praying your next post is about going to Vietnam.
Happy Birthday sweet, little Drew! I so hoped that you would be with your forever family on this special day, but I know that you will be with them soon. We are praying for you and your family daily. I can't wait until you guys are together...forever!!!
Nadra, I am so sorry that things are taking so long! I am just heartbroken for you. Good news has to be coming soon!!
Nadra,
Keeping you in prayer today... we know and understand your pain. No words can make you feel better, but amazingly God is able to calm our hearts beyond our understanding. Love you lots dear friend!

Happy Birthday Drew!! Soon your big brother Ian will be sharing his cupcakes with you!
Nadra, I am praying for you. I admire your stregnth and am praying that Drew is in your arms very soon!
Happy 1st birthday little Drew! I wish we all could have celebrated with you, but I'm sure those nannies are loving all over you. And just think, since you missed your big celebration here, I'm bettin' your mama ran out and bought more presents because she was feeling sad. So you're going to get even MORE stuff than if you were here :) (always lookin' for a bright side)
Come home soon Drew!
That's just great that you guys are keeping it positive around your house. I loved the cupcake shot of Ian. I can hardly wait for you to get the call. The wait has been much too long. You're in my prayers and I think of you often.
