Trouble...

Family dinner for Jessica's birthday

Dizzy snuggling his cousin Kalee.

Our little drummer boy...

...and our little drummer on break

Andrew loves Daddy's guitar. Steve didn't even get all the way in the front door after church last Saturday.

A 2 1/2 year old profile : ) love it!

Multi-tasking with his chewy tube (thanks Aunt Christy) & leg stretching.

Andrew & Daddy chillin in the library in their Mommy/Wifey Huggers (shirts, as I have renamed them)

FYI: Andrew has his annual echocardiogram & brain MRI scheduled for next Tuesday (6/22) morning. Prayers are appreciated as they have to put him under, which he hates but he won't cooperate otherwise, so it's a necessary evil. Praying he won't be too scarred when he goes under anesthesia & expecting good results with the hopes that this will be the only time he has to be sedated for another year.

We were a little disappointed that our plan for Homecoming party poolside was mainly indoors due to rain, but the kids made the most of the break in the weather as you can see. Hard to believe it's been 2 years since we brought our sweet boy home from the hospital. We are so thankful for the awesome health Andrew's had! Such a blessing, that boy!

Fun in the Sun

I love this picture of Steve & Andrew swinging together on Andrew's favorite swing in Vince & Sue's backyard.

Steve enjoying the kiddy pool with Dizzy & Savannah.

Isaiah showing me his dimples.

That's a lot of water

In Isaiah's grips

Mommy & Dizzy had fun with Aunt Katie & Isaiah last Thursday for a beach date. Andrew is doing much better with his younger cousin now that it's clear that Isaiah has his own mommy & won't be stealing Andrew's : )

Two weeks earlier, Andrew's Grammie T & Kalee were down & we took a morning trip to the beach. This is when Andrew decided he LOVED the beach. Particularly the ocean. If I put him down, he runs straight to the water & only wants to be held when he can't go any deeper.

Headed to the water with Grammie T.

Kalee working on a heated pool. The water is still pretty cold.

Enjoying some acoustic

Andrew helping out at the free car wash our church had last Saturday.

I don't know what we would do without him ; )

New Family Photos!

Follow the link below to check out the family photos Amanda Kern took of us yesterday. Andrew was not even close to cooperative, but Amanda did an awesome job capturing our sweet boy.

Funny morning hair

Everybody cries sometime

A couple weeks ago Andrew had an ear infection so we took him to the Pediatrician. This is how Steve & Andrew cope with so many doctor visits : ) Please keep Steve in your prayers, on antibiotics for another infection in his mouth after the 2nd root canal in 6 months & the oral surgeon said he needs another on the next tooth over. All 3 teeth have roots that go into the sinus cavity that he had the cyst removed from in January. As you can imagine, EVERYBODY is ready for this to be healed & over!

Dizzy LOVES the keyboard that Matt gave him. He's a big help for Daddy now with the business : )

My guys, workin hard

more hammock fun

how Steve & his iphone cope with MD waiting rooms : )

Daddy's birthday & more

Dizzy & Mommy got Daddy a hammock for his birthday. Unfortunately, it's been too cold to use it but one time. Looking forward to enjoying it in warmer weather.

Chillin'

Family hammock time.

Steve was playing a game on his iphone & I couldn't believe how Andrew was able to follow the action on the little screen. He was laughing every time the motorcycle crashed : )

The Valentine Andrew made us at his Machie's house.

Mommy ate all the candy that was in the bag : /

So, yesterday Andrew developed an ear infection, but luckily we were able to get right into the Pediatrician's office & started an antibiotic last night. He's doing well considering. I think if he could figure it out he would fake being sick in the future b/c he's really loving all the movies : ) This kid definitely loves his TV. If you live in this area, for some reason they are seeing tons of ear infections, just FYI.
