Drew's playdate at the park

We've all been dying to have a playdate with your friends from school and this past Saturday was a perfect opportunity. There are a lot of you and since you're all 3 we hate to make one mom clean up after that. So we were actually able to meet your friends and some siblings at the park. Hopefully I can remember everyone that was there: Drew, Maggie, Whitman, Noah, Catie, Harlee, Helen, Aiden, and Davis. We had a great time. Y'all are big enough to play by yourselves except needing an occasional push on the swing, so us mommies got to visit. And some daddies were there too. We played for about 2.5 hours and then went home for lunches and naps. I think you probably all crashed shortly after that! It was so fun and we'll definitely have to do it again soon. We just love all your classmates and their parents. We've really been lucky to make all these new friends! You guys have all been together since the nursery...3 years already!

Daddy's new truck

Daddy got a new, big-boy truck. Since Davis was born, there wasn't enough room for both boys and since he likes to pick y'all up he needed something new. We didn't want to have a car payment...getting debt-free thanks to Dave Ramsey! So we were lucky when his friend from work said he would sell him his truck. He's a very good friend of Daddy's and we knew he always takes good care of his cars so it was a great deal. Daddy was able to sell his truck and with some tax money, we got this beautiful truck for CASH! Go us. We love it and actually spend more time in it than my car right now!

2 months old

Davis just turned 2 months old. Well, it's been about a week, but I'm behind on posting. He's gotten so big! He is really alert now and loves to "talk" and smile. He loves his big brother and it's so obvious in the way he looks at him. I love it! Davis, you are eating about 5 ounces now, but you still have to eat every two hours during the day. I don't know why you can't really stretch that out, but we're working on it. You go to sleep around 7pm every night which is very early for our family, so we're hoping you can start staying up later soon. We won't have much play time when I go back to work. You usually get up between 2-3am and then again around 5-6am so that's pretty good. You started going to daycare at 8 weeks and have been absolutely loving it! You are so wide-eyed every time we pick you up and you really seem to like watching all the bigger babies toddle around. You have some very sweet teachers. You started out with Ms. Jamie, Ms. Lisa, Ms. Wanda, and Ms. Ashley, but since Ms. Keisa left and Ms. Jamie took her spot, you know have Ms. Alicia. We are very lucky to have such great people in yours and Drew's lives. They all love to snuggle with you because you are the youngest in the class. I haven't gone back to work yet, but sending you to school has given me the time to get some serious organization done at home. I love you Davis and we are so happy that you are here to love and play with us!

Lazy Sundays

We like to spend Sunday mornings (and other ones for that matter) lazing around before getting ready for church. Since Davis gets up about 6am and Drew about 6:30, we have plenty of time for that. Drew likes to lie on our bed with Davis and talk to him or read him stories. This Sunday Davis was propped up on a pillow and Drew was reading him books like a teacher does to her class. Showing him the pictures and asking him questions. It was so cute. I guess he's been paying attention at storytime at school! Then of course big brother wanted a photo shoot.

Silly boys

Drew loves to play with Davis and now that Davis can sit in the Bumbo...he gets even more excited. It's so fun now that Davis reacts to Drew. He looks all around for him and has really started to smile and "talk" a lot lately. He always has a big toothless, open-mouth grin for his Drew-Drew. I love watching how much my boys love each other. It reallys warms your heart!

Singing in church

I didn't take any pictures of Drew singing in church, but I did have to snap a few before we left. He looked so handsome. He wore his big boy church clothes...a tie, white button down, khaki pants, and a belt. He looked like such a little man. He did great singing "My God is So Big" in church. He sang the words and did the motions, but added a few of his own. He liked to throw in a full body fist pump occassionally and it was a crowd favorite! Everyone laughed and thought he was so cute! Love that boy!

Ms. Trudi and Ms. Keisa

Well, we are sad and happy all at the same time. Drew's Ms. Trudi got married a few weeks ago. It was such a beautiful, joyful wedding. We were so happy to get to go. We went with the Callahan's so Drew and Taylor got to hang out too. They are some of Ms. Trudi's babies and they even got to take their pictures with her. Ms. Keisa and Ms. Lisa were both in it so Drew had his picture taken with all his ladies! Since she got married and her hubby lives in Georgia, she and Ms. Keisa are moving. So Drew and Davis are both going to lose their teachers. But we are really happy for them in this new stage of their lives. We will just miss them a lot!
