Eat Blue Smoke


Allie is no longer the newest member of our family. We've taken a new fishy under our wing. Since we're not quite ready for a dog we figured a fish was the next best thing. The best thing about getting a two-year-old a fish, letting him name it. Yep. Eat Blue Smoke is our new fishy's name. Drew came up with that all on his own. I have a feeling Daddy may have nudged him in that direction by showing Drew the world of fireworks; namely smoke balls. So we now feed Eat Blue Smoke every morning, all the while stopping Drew from reaching straight into the bowl to 'hold' Eat Blue Smoke. Ahhhh.....the joys of a toddler!

New baby, new play place

Hello everyone. As most of you know by now, we welcomed our new baby girl into the world on June 22. She's perfect! I never really saw myself with a girl but now I can't imagine life without her! Drew loves her and is constantly wondering what she's doing. Pretty funny. She's a great baby and we are having a blast getting used to a family of four!
In other news, Matt has been vigorously working to build Drew a swing set. I'd asked him to take on the challenge a few months ago. As an engineer, it was just too easy to simply buy one at the store, put it together and call it a done deal. Matt had to design one, cut the boards, put it together and set it up. I was hesitant at first, but I let him go ahead. I knew he'd be able to do it, I was just worried about the time frame and some of the hard labor. Well, he's successfully achieved his goal......almost. He's got it put together and now just has to do some finishing touches and add the swings and slides. It's pretty cool, I must admit. I'm very proud of him and can't wait to see Drew (and Allie) play on it! Pics below

Drew already likes it

Here it is, in all its glory



Allie's new hat. Thanks Aunt Trisha!
