drake: five years old


A year ago, Drake looked like this.

Today, he looks more like this.

If I could describe Drake in one word, it would be "curious".

And his curiousity makes him very, very fun.

I guarantee that there is rarely a dull moment when Drake is around.

He always has such creative ideas.

And gets excited about the small things.

It's hard for him to be serious.

He finds joy in doing anything.

Even his "homework", as he calls it.

He likes to be the center of attention, most of the time.

But Drake isn't always on the move.

Even he can get tired sometimes.

And even he can be serious.... kind of.


He has been so excited for his birthday to finally arrive.

Because he is now five, and that means he starts kindergarten in the fall.


He got some workbooks for his birthday, and he's already enjoying them--getting ready for school I guess.


He requested a cake of stacked blocks.

He placed the candles himself.

Drake is a wonderful son. He's a wonderful helper with both Graham and Avery. He loves to play with friends, but enjoys playing with family too. He just loves to play. I'm grateful that Graham and Avery have such a good big brother to look up to. I can't wait to see how his personality and interests shape his life.

We love you Drake.
