HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY, ANDREW!

Today, my mind wanders back to that joyous November day 9 years ago when a whole bunch of us spent a day much like today… sunny, warm, gloriously happy… waiting for a little baby to be born.

It was a Saturday.

We didn’t know if this little baby was a boy or a girl.  I had predicted girl, but I’m always wrong, so I shouldn’t have been surprised at the most joyful words the little baby’s Daddy had for us after the morning turned to afternoon and the afternoon turned to later afternoon, “It’s a BOY!”

It was a BOY… and oh, BOY, what a BOY!  Andrew Barry Couto, with the awesome initials A.B.C.

Andrew is a whirlwind of Super-Hero powers… in life, in school, in athletics, in laughter, in love.

He’s motion and curiosity and courage and mind and heart.

His eyes and his smile melt you.

Andrew was the darling of our dear NanaFlo… her first great-grandson, and oh-how-NanaFlo-loved him.  In fact, today NanaFlo sent a little gift from Heaven to celebrate Andrew’s 9th birthday…

A perfect yellow rose on NanaFlo's rose bush... on Andrew's birthday!

Today we celebrate Andrew and the gift he is in our family!  These 9 years have given us so much joy, happiness, entertainment, kindnesses, laughter and love!

This, too, is Andrew’s Magical Birthdayturning 9 on the 9th!  What a special, special day!

Love you, Andrew, forever & ever…

I love this photo... Grandpa, Andrew, Daddy!
That smile!
Dad, Mom, Taylor, Andrew!
Grandpa, me, Taylor, Andrew!

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY, ANDREW!!!!!!!!!

What a lucky day it was for the universe 9 years ago today.  And now it’s your LUCKY 9!!!!!!!!!  Do something awesome today!!!!!!!!!
