Meeting Jack Pfeifer

This Saturday, Brent and I took a day trip to Manhattan to meet baby Jack! He was was born on December 16th to Troy and Wendy...and he is PERFECT! 

 Jacks momma and I met six years ago at K-State, and our friendship has become even more special as important events happen in each others life.  Aside from being friends and roommates, I was in Troy and Wendy's wedding where I met her cousin Erin, who introduced me to Brent.  Gods plan is truly amazing.

I love this next picture.  Wendy, you are an incredible mother. 

We spent the next few hours catching up and loving every coo that came from Jacks sweet mouth. He is a happy, attentive and chatty little boy! All afternoon he gave me big smiles and a lot of much needed cuddle time. 

Big smiles from my dear friend and I on that very special afternoon.

In the mean time, Koukla was very jealous of all the attention Jack was getting.  Luckily, she found something to keep her busy.

Yup, that is Koukla playing on Jacks play gym! Wendy and I had a good laugh over watching her paw at the hanging toys. 

After an afternoon with the girls, Jack needed daddy time.  Troy and his twin :o)

I can't wait to see you again Mr. Jack. Love u!

Home Sweet Home

There has been a change in the Draper household, we backed out of the house.  Our house hunt began in September, but after not much luck we decided to take a new path...the path of saving money!  But, a change was needed, so we upgraded to a beautiful apartment near town center and so far....it is great! I will post pictures this weekend after Nebraska Furniture Mart drops off a few purchases :o) 

My most favorite part about the move is that we finally get to use our wedding gifts! Our old place was a little too small to bring everything so we were storing our gifts at my parents house until "the move" took place.  It felt like Christmas unwrapping our most wanted kitchen and decorative accessories! 

There is no documentation of our move.  Brent was a doll and packed up most of our bedroom while I was at work one afternoon...cameras included. LOL!

Have a great week, 

The Drapers

Cheers to another wonderful year!

On New Years Eve my dad asked me if I was ready for 2011.  I am of course ready to take it on, but I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't sad to see 2010 go.   It was so good to me....to us.

Important Draper events in 2010:

Brent joined the Orthodox faith!  I am so greatful that we can partake in the sacraments together. Meeting with father during the entire process was wonderful for our relationship and has continued to help us grow stronger. This is a picture of Brent and his sponsors, my Cousin Yianni and Uncle Athen. 

We both have jobs that we love and are learning so much from.  Brent earned his first big promotion in November, so proud of u babe!

We got married! I am so lucky to be married to my best friend! So much love that weekend from our family and friends....A perfect day and a million little memories we will never forget! 

We were asked to be the Godparents of baby Elias!

We are almost through with our first full week of 2011,  and although at first I could not picture a better and more exciting year than 2010, so many wonderful things have already happened!

We welcomed in the new year with friends and a new hair cut! (big deal for women)

Last picture of the Drapers in 2010

First picture in 2011!

We also FINALLY heard back from the sellers banks about "our house".... a signed contract should be on its way!

The latest of our exciting news is that a date has been set for baby Eli's baptism so back to the drawing board for this lady! Lots of planning and shopping in the next week or two in preparation for our boys big day!

Wishing all our family and friends a happy and healthy 2011!

Love,

The Drapers
