Andrew greatly enjoyed the clothes that his Grandma Cheryl sent for him.  Well, actually he enjoyed the box most of all! He played in there most of the afternoon while I sorted and washed all the clothes.  I was trying to get everything finished up the last couple of days because I’m returning to work.  [...]

Andrew and Hannah went swimming in a big pool for the first time today!  It was funny…we couldn’t get the kids to look up from the water – they were sooo fascinated by the blue water that all the pictures we took – they were looking down to the water!  It was a lot of [...]

       Andrew did not enjoy his first introduction to rice cereal tonight!  We will keep trying though….maybe next time!!!

Today was a gorgeous day outside – the weather was just perfect for Andrew’s first trip to the zoo!  And he had a blast!  He enjoyed being outdoors and seeing some of the animals (He really couldn’t see the far away animals, but luckily this zoo has some ones up close!)  It was such a [...]

Andrew is sitting up like a big boy now!  He can pretty much do it on his own with a little help when he goes for a toy!  It is his favorite thing to do now! Andrew had rolled over from his back to his tummy, but he is still very unsure about this.  He [...]

      Here is a picture of our final landscaping efforts!  And what an effort they were!  Mom and I worked hard for several days planting and laying rocks.  Nate helped haul 4 ton of rock to fill in the area and it was done!  We had several new shrubs and a couple trees!  [...]

Andrew has become interested in just about anything!   I love this stage in babies where they are interested in just about anything that you can show them!  Here he is looking out our new trees with Grandma!     

Andrew celebrated his first 4th of July this year!  He didn’t quite stay awake for the fireworks, but he did enjoy a cookout with Grandma!  Maybe he will enjoy the fireworks next year!     

Enjoying his new toy – his jumperoo!  He really only likes it if someone gets down on his level and bounces with him!!!
