Sign of the Times

For the past few months, Andrew has become more and more of an expert on loading and changing DVD's by himself. He has now mastered the DVD player in our bedroom as well as the family room.

To me it's just another reminder of the age we live in. Our son just turned 3 at the end of February and can load/unload DVD's AND work the mouse to a computer. We purchased him a "Hooked on Phonics" CD for the computer a few months back and he's an expert at moving the cursor using the mouse and Left/Right clicking.

I am frightened by how much smarter our kids will be than us!!!

New Bean Bag Chair

A few weeks ago, my good friend Debbie passed down her son's beanbag chair to Andrew. We are getting ready to give Big Brother Drew a newly decorated bedroom and she thought the baseball pattern would go great since we're doing a sports theme.

As you can tell... Andrew is happy as can be!!! Thanks Debbie & Harrison!! :)

Baby #2 Sonogram - Week 13, Day 4

On Tuesday, we had our checkup for Baby #2. Everything looked great and all the genetic testing we did came back perfect. The best part with doing the genetic testing was that we got an extra ultrasound that we didn't get with Drew...

Everything looked great and we had an excellent report. Even better, we got to see our kiddo kicking its legs and sucking its thumb (or picking its nose - we're not sure!) :)

Here you'll see some of our newest pics of the newest member of the family. Not too bad for the baby only being around 3" long! The baby has REALLY long legs (I wish we had a good shot of that!) and was dancing away in my belly ... and on my bladder of course! :) The sonographer said all looked healthy and measured perfectly.

In 5 weeks we'll get the official word on if it's a boy or girl. The sonographer made a strongly educated guess (and also said that she's never been wrong)...so we'll be excited to see if she was right!

"Our" Day at the Museum

Recently, Andrew and I had the luxury of spending "our" day at the Mayborn Museum here in Waco. (Once again... another perk of living here...maybe I need to rethink my position on Waco?)

The Mayborn truly is a wonderful museum with tons of exhibits for adults but it has the most AMAZING discovery museum for kids. A lot of the pictures didn't turn out for other rooms we played in...but below are some fun samplings of our recent day at the Museum....

Andrew as a "cowboy" on a real saddle in the "Old West" area....





















Just like his Daddy, "cooking" breakfast for Mommy! My Sweetheart :) Luckily, modern day appliances have made cooking breakfast MUCH easier :)

In the "Bubble Room"... such a cool place. The kids can put themselves in a bubble, make walls of bubbles and just go nutty with bubbles...

There is also a water table filled with rubber ducks, boats and slats. With this, kids can figure out how to work with and against water currents and pressure.. there's lots of fun stuff to do here! It's a great place where kids can spend hours!

Easter 2010

Easter 2010 was kind of muggy/raingy but seemed to make for decent pictures. Andrew collected eggs before church and thought he hit the big time loot! (And we REALLY found out just how much he loves chocolate!!!)

Movie Position

Andrew, you are a lover of film and chocolate...(I strongly suspect Auntie Mame had something to do with this ;0) )

Below is a picture of you in one of your many favorite movie watching positions...

Next is what I would consider near heaven for you. You're in your movie position and have your Easter chocolate in reach. I guess for a 3 year old.. life doesn't get much better than this!! :)

My Guitar Hero

My sweet Andrew... you have always loved music. And instruments. And dancing. In fact, when Mommy was about 8 months pregnant with you - I went to see the Rockette's perform with Aunt Taboo, Aunt Diana and Ms. Sheri. And during the performances, you decided you wanted to "rock & roll" with them! You were EXTREMELY active that evening! :)

Sometimes I think you are even picturing yourself on stage in the middle of a huge rock concert. Recently you were shaking your "groove thang" and rocking out on the guitar that Uncle Jeff gave you for Christmas...

I think here you were getting "down" and "groovy" :o)

You always, always make me smile!!! I love you!!!
