Updates and new pictures...

Let's see - what is new? Drew has gotten to see quite a bit of his family lately. Nana, Aunt Sistah and Camden came to visit a few weekends ago, then Uncle Denny & Aunt Lynda game up 2 weekends ago to help Meema take care of Drew for us. That weekend, I had a CEU course in Knoxville and Brad drove up with me. On our way home, we spent one night in Asheville - our last little "get-away" before we are officially parents of TWO (ah!). We had a nice time doing little things like going to the movies, enjoying dining with each other, strolling the streets of Knoxville & Asheville, and even got in a game of putt-putt. It was nice just to do relaxing, little things without scheduling around naps, night-nights, flying food, occasional tantrums, etc, though of course it seemed like all of our conversations ended up centered around Drew and we were very happy to get back home to him. Thank you to everyone for your help taking such good care of Drew so we could take our trip. The only thing though is for some reason he really likes the phrase "Gooooooooooo Tigers" - wonder where that came from?!?! This past weekend we had a big trip to the Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC for the Thomas the Train days - but that will have to be featured in its own post soon to follow as that was quite a day for our little man.

Drew seems to be doing well at his new school. He has really started to talk a lot more now (actually usually non-stop) - and while a lot of it is still unintelligible, if you know a few key words you are well on your way (for example: "la boohl" = cow, "car", "choo-choo", "Momo" = Elmo, "daddy", "mama", "Ste" = Steve, "bir" = bird, "Ba-bird" = Big Bird, "tus" = bus, "cool" = Cool!, "cool" = school, "nana" = Nana, "nana" = banana, "MahMa" = Meema, "cockeye" = outside, "cackcack" = backpack, "gaga" = all done) We think that he has a huge crush on a little cutie in his class named Ella - he says her name quite a lot at home, too. He likes to label people - going around the table/car/etc pointing to each person and saying their name then pointing to himself and saying "Drew!".


Besides the big boo-boo, here is a cute picture of Drew: For those of you requesting "preggo" pictures, here is Brad and I last weekend (26 weeks pregnant) ...now add Drew and part of Steve's head: Night-night Drew Night-night Steve
