LIFE

Well I have had a rough couple days. Nicole went back to work Tuesday for the first time since Ty was born. It was a little rough and she was struggling a little bit with it. But she is a strong person and knows everything will be ok. I was excited to have a full day with Ty. It is amazing how much he is trying to talk and make noises. At one point he even got a serious face and changed his voice like he was really trying to tell me something. He is so Freaking CUTE!!!!!!

The hard part of the day dealing with a horrible incident that happened about a week ago that left an amazing young man and a long time friend dead. The whole situation could have been easily avoided and definitely handled a different way. I was at Tyler's Funeral yesterday which had about 600 people there. And it really made be think alot. About how short life is. About the uncertainty of when your time is up. Accepting that everything happens for a reason and though it will never make sense to myself and many others with he had to go so early, we know he is in a better place. To see a mother and father go through the death of there son is not an easy thing to be apart of. That is not the way life is suppose to happen. Tyler you will be very missed and your loved by us all. We know you are in Heaven muding, fishing and probably already have a huge trophy buck. We will see you soon Bubba.

I encourage everyone to never take a single moment for granted. Never go to bed mad with your wife or husband. When you have time with your family and friends enjoy every second of it. If you have a little one love them, hug them and be so thankful for them. I am so blessed with My life. I have a wife that I know God gave me because she is the person that completes me and makes me constantly want to better myself. She is a perfect mother to our little Ty. I am so thankful for my son. Watching him wake up every morning with a huge smile on his face is more than enough to keep me going.

I thank god for all of them as well as all of my family and friends. Knowing that God is the only one who knows when our time is up and why the reason. Does not always make sense to us and we might not ever understand. But he does and that is what matters. Sorry for rambling just alot on my mind.
I love you Nicole and Ty, you guys are my life and I will do anything to make your lives as easy as possible.
God Bless Everyone-
Drew

Here is Ty in his every morning Routine. Wake up, fuss a little and then lay on his changing table and talk and smile. He is such a ham. And the most adorable little boy ever!!!!

It has been a while since the last post so I will fill you in on all that has happened.

Well Ty is now 10 weeks old. It has been a great adventure to get here. Ihave learned so much about Ty, Myself and my relationship with my wife. i couldn't imagine going through this with any one else in the world. Nicole is an amazing mother and wife. It is hard for us to find time to do things together but we get by. It hasn't all been glorious days, there are times when we are at each others throat a little bit, But with lack of sleep and some frustration it is easy to get there. However we both know we don't mean it and quickly resolve the problem and stay focused on our goal. Raising Ty. Ty is such a great baby. we started putting him in his crib at night about 3 weeks ago. That was hard for me. for the first 2 nights i sat on the couch untill 2:30 in the morning staring at the monitor. And making 2 dozen trips into his room to make sure he was ok. About 1 week ago he suprised us with a full night of sleep. Now he gets his bath around 8:30pm and then eats one last time then sleeps from about 9:30ish to 7:30ish. He wakes up a few times always around 4am. But after a couple trips to give him is pacifier he falls right back a sleep.

When he wakes up he is always in such a good mood. As you can tell from the video. That is him every morning. Laughing, Dancing and making noises. He smiles onpurpose now and is starting to find his hands. He really wants to suck his thumb but instead he just slobbers on his whole hand.

We went for his 2 month check up and he is in the 70% for his weight. 13 lbs. And he only the 25% for his height. So right now he is a short little meatball. However he has a regular size head. He is out growing close like crazy and is now eating 6oz 5 times a day. All in all tehre is nothing I would ever change with him. He is our perect little boy. He even had his first beach day with Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Dustin, Aunt Vanessa, 2nd Grandma Sandy and Future wife Lily. He loves the beach!!!!

He also got to meet Uncle Nick and Ashley for the he mety Uncle Ben and Alison when he was about 2 weeks old.

I will post some pictures of all of this soon. For now enjoy the video. And of course the video has Daddy doing the baby talk.
Ty you are perfect and We love you so much!!!!!!!!
