Drew....

Hard to believe Drew is almost 2!! A week from today is his 2nd birthday. Here's some pics of my little monkey boy!

Long time, no posts...

Wow! It's been a looong time since I posted a blog!! Alot has been happening between now and then!
First off we've gotten all unpacked and settled into the new house. We are loving it here. It is definantly "home". We had a great Housewarming party for all our family and friends.
Blake started school this year. He goes to the preschool at the McMullen school. He loves school and is always bringing home pictures for the fridge!!
Drew is loving the quality time with Mommy while Blake is at school. He likes to jump up on the couch and cuddle. He's always been a little cuddlebug!!
And our newest news is that our family is growing!! The new baby will arrive May 2 or a little earlier!! Hopefully we can find out the sex of the baby in December!
