Our great start to Collin’s birthday start was a call from Aunt Laura after midnight on Friday night informing us that they were headed to the hospital with contractions. We were headed downtown Saturday morning to Mike’s office and a parade when we got a call from Aunt Karen with news that we had a new nephew! Drew William was born August 30th at at 7:26 in the morning weighing 8 pounds and measuring 21 inches. Collin is excited to have a boy cousin since all his St. Louis cousins are girls and we think it’s neat that Carson will have a cousin with the same middle name just six months younger. 
The Atlanta zoo has a panda (Yang Yang) born on the same day as little Drew. It's amazing how little pandas are when they're born and how fast they grow. You can see on Webcam here.

It was a Star Wars weekend for Mike & Collin. Mike had some work to do on his new office space before the painters can start so we all went downtown to see the place and then to view the Dragon Con parade. It’s not exactly the crowd I could see myself hanging with, but we knew Collin would be excited to see the Storm Troopers. Personally, I would have rather seen more Disney & Sesame Street characters (Donald & Cookie Monster were there) all of the other crazy characters we saw, but it was somewhat entertaining and definitely something different to do on a Saturday morning. We went out to lunch, then to church Saturday night since Collin didn’t want to go on his birthday, which fell on a Sunday this year. 
For his birthday breakfast he had a Cinnamon Roll with a candle to blow out, we opened gifts and then he and Mike spent most of the day playing with his new Star Wars figures,
ships and Transformers. I wasn’t sure who was enjoying it more – Mike or Collin, but by the end of the weekend Mike had enough and Collin still wants to play Star Wars non-stop. Collin is super excited to have his OWN Star Wars figures since he can only play with dad’s toys with Dad. It will be interesting to see how I’ll be roped into playing Star Wars since I used to have an excuse that I wasn’t allowed to play with daddy’s toys. After lunch Mike took Collin to see the Clone Wars movie, and then after Carson woke from his nap we went to the playground to play soccer and for Collin to ride his bike. We went to dinner at Cheescake Factory. We’ll do his friend party next weekend, since many people were traveling this weekend for the Labor Day holiday.
