Bathtime fun with Bubbles....

The other night, Andrew got to take his first bubble bath...which got even better when David turned on the jets in the tub. Enjoy the pics...he had a blast!! :)

Working Out...

Over 60 days ago, David began his journey on the P90X workout. He has done so well and stayed uber committed to it - losing a lot of inches and pounds! Dave and our neighbor, Chris Adams, and occasionally my brother Jeff work out in our partially enclosed garage. This is now referred to as the "sweat lab" and Andrew has so much fun with "his guys" coming over each night to work out. He feels like he is part of the P90x team :)

I got a kick out of these pics of Daddy and Son getting 'serious' about their working out... :)

(His mean face) :)

Trains and stuff

For Andrew's 3rd birthday, he received many wonderful gifts. Several of those are the beginnings of a "Thomas the Train" collection. He and David have had a great time putting them together and exploring different "train track options."

Below is Andrew deciding to cut the track "short" and to let the train run off track. He had great fun seeing the train engine leave the rug and head for the kitchen table :)

As I look at that last picture, I am again reminded at HOW QUICKLY he is growing! My baby boy, my sweetheart, is so grown up these days. Sigh... time passes TOO quickly!

"You're messing up my house"

The Culprit

Recently, David and I have decided that Andrew is old enough to take on a few new "chores". One of those chores is to wipe the table after dinner each night.

As with anything, the first time a chore or job is given - it is done with zest. And this is NO different with our Andrew who LOVES to help. He LOVES to get "jobs" and so while we're not taking advantage of that - we sure are going to enjoy it with that enthusiasm lasts :)

So, his first night of getting a wet rag, Andrew wipes down the table. And the chairs. And the doorknobs. And the floor. And anything else he could get away with before we took the rag away.

The next morning we're all getting ready to go in our different directions and in my haste, a receipt had been knocked off the kitchen counter. Not realizing that, I couldn't understand why Andrew looked so upset as David tied his shoes on. After some probing, he looked distressed as he pointed to the receipt and said, "I just cleaned the house!!!"

Hmmmm....wonder where he has heard that before??? :)

SNOW! Finally!!!!!!!!!!

So we've had a few snowflakes this winter in Waco, Texas (which is HIGHLY abnormal....) but finally on 2/23/10 - we got "S-N-O-W".


This was perfect because I had been horribly homesick, particularly hearing and seeing of all the snow that Maryland had been getting. While our office stayed open that day, I was able to play some that evening with my guys before the snow melted too quickly...


Below is a picture from the side of our house overlooking the wooded creek... the trees looked GORGEOUS.


The "snowfall" we had on Christmas Eve this year allowed me to teach Andrew some about snowball fights and my all time favorite - eating snow :) He was prepared this time with a cup :)



And what snowfall can be complete without a snowman? I love the spraypainted face and buttons :)


Maybe in another 30 years there will be snow like this in Waco?????????
