The Drakester Is 10!!!


Drake turned 10 today!




Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday we were coming home from the hospital a few days before Christmas. He arrived 2 1/2 weeks earlier than expected.


Drake is smart, athletic and fun. He's a friend to many. He can be fast and furious on the soccer field or perched and patiently poised in a deer stand.


We've phased out birthday "parties" in our home but let the birthday girl or boy choose a family meal and activity. Instead of going out to eat, Drake selected JJ's delicious wings. He also wants to go see the latest Chipmunk movie. We're going to do that next week when the Christmas rush has passed.


Yummy! (they beat any local establishment's wings by far)


Instead of a birthday cake, Drake asked for a pumpkin pie!


May the next 10 years be even better than the first 10. We love you Drake!

  1. Happy B-lated B-day to Drake! I love that he requested pumpkin pie :-) Double digits. It is amazing how fast 10 years zip by! Actually, I remember a combined TLC Christmas party 10 years ago at church... as I recall, Drake was itty bitty! I didn't hardly know who you were back then. I'm glad to call you one of my closest friends now :-)
