Drew the Tool Man!

A couple weeks ago Matt got his tool box out to fix something around the apartment. Since Andrew likes to pretty much climb on EVERYTHING, he saw the tool box as another jungle-gym. I grabbed my camera and this is what I caught...


he is telling you he is SO BIG!!!






Daddy helped him down (good thing or he would have fallen right off), but Andrew loved playing with the tool box!

Granny's visit

Matt went to Colorado this past week and my Mom came to town to visit Andrew and me. We had a good visit despite the fact that Andrew was sick and missed his Daddy very much! I did not do a very good job taking pictures of Andrew and my mom together, but I caught some of the two of them before she left.

Thanks for coming Granny. We miss you already. See you next month!

I love this picture of Andrew looking up at his Granny, and smiling!

Go Bears!

I found this shirt (on sale) at Kohls the other day and had to get it. Andrew's Papa LOVES the Chicago Bears football team. Even though these are not the Chicago Bears colors, I thought the jersey top was very appropriate!

This one is for you Papa!

Happy 4th of July!

This is Andrew last year on July 4th. What a difference a year makes!

We hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day!

Pool Time!

We have been going to the pool a lot this summer and our friends Hope and Ben join us often! Andrew enjoys the pool but he would be just as content to run around the pool deck playing!

Playing with the ball...

Happy boy, Ben!

Cool dude Drew!


This was the best picture we could get of the two boys...it was lunch time and they had no patience for photo time.

Ball & Boo-boo

Here is a video of Andrew saying, "Ball". He loves balls & trucks. At the end of the video he trips on a truck and hits his head on a ball and then a wooden stool. He was fine. I had to post the video because he is so cute in it!

Cardinals Game

I know you all know that we are not Cardinals fans (GO CUBS) but we enjoyed an evening out with some great friends (Dan & April Barber), and we went to dinner and a baseball game. We had a lot of fun and the weather was beautiful! Thanks for a great double-date Barbers!
