Ohhh I LOVE Mrs. Peters! She was my son's favorite teacher!!! Haven't seen her in years {Thank you for sharing that pic}I never even knew she was a leap year baby. Also...did you know that only happens 1 in 1500 births? & you are lucky enough to know THREE!
While it is true that Stephanie picked out Drew's name, we usually reflect on people we knew when choosing names. Andrew G. Peters was the best friend I had as a youth. His great sense of humor and our long term friendship certainly helped me support Stephanie in her selection.
