Happy Birthday Andre
Today was Andre's 8th birthday!!! WOW this one hit me. I have an 8 year old ? It seems just a bit ago that Andre looked like this.

Now he has lost those chubby cheeks and became quite a handsome young man.

Andre has also decided to be baptized. We are so proud of him and his decision. Andre has been waiting a long time to be baptized. He has been telling us for years that he could not wait until he turned 8. He is ready.

This year Andre has grown-up quite a lot. He has officially decided he is too big for superhero's , is positive he no longer needs a booster seat and has decided he needs a cell phone. He just can't decided between an iphone or a flip phone. Yea, Good luck with that one buddy.

Andre's signature phrase is.... When some one says to him what's up, he always says, "Good."
He cannot take a picture without flashing a peace sign or a hang loose. He wants to be an Art teacher when he grows-up. He still weighs just 50 pounds and just might until he turns 18. Has a very contagious laugh. Still sleeps with his infamous green blanket. Loves music and already has quite a range of tastes. Thinks he might want to go pro at skate boarding. Decided for his class talent show to show off his hip hop moves. Would rather read Non-fiction books. Loves Chinese food and has recently found out he loves chicken wings. Absolutely adores his little sister and doesn't mind her tagging along in fact prefers it that way. Just a few things that make him our Andre!!!

Andre is now going by the title of Guitarist Andre A. Last week we went to this new hip blues restaurant. We knew Andre would dig it because they have live music. We were right, he thought it was awesome. They have a wall there that you can sign. Andre wanted to sign it so he did. When he showed us where he had signed, this is what we saw!

Andre we love you so much and are a true joy to have in our house. You are such a sweet boy. Thank you for that. Never lose that sweetness or style all your own. It is what makes you our Andre!
