Cute pictures

Here's some cute photos of Andrew making brownies with Nana a couple weeks ago. He had fun and, of course, looooved eating them!! This was his first baking experience--I can't wait to bake with him this Christmas!!

Stirring the batter...



adding chocolate chips...



pouring it into the pan...



and licking the spoon! YUM!



AND, I finally found my camera and these were on it--so here ya go, a little late.

Drew and Bub heading off after a storm to jump in some puddles. Aaaaww, matching shirts!! This may have been Memorial Day.



A little sun burned, poor fella.



Coloring at his desk. He's pretty good at it!!



Then last week, he came in the house with Drew from the store and said, "Mommy, look. A kitty! He's hiding!" Sure enough, our neighborhood stray was hiding in the bushes in front of the house. Andrew liked watching him. He kept telling me, "Mommy, sssshh!"





In other news, Drew went to Cabella's last weekend to meet Matt Hughes, 9-Time UFC Welterweight Champion! He and Andrew got his autograph. Andrew's first celebrity!! doesn't he look super-impressed??

Sleepy head

This was him while I cleaned up our master bedroom closet today. Check out
that post

on my public blog.

Thank the Lord for naps--otherwise, I don't think I'd ever get anything done!! Well, unless you count putting train tracks together, playing Mr. Potato Head, coloring, watching Noggin...

For the love

...of trains!! He often does this: lines them up next to each other and just gazes at them adoringly. Sometimes he gives them a pep-talk, too.



Here he is, singing the intro. song to "Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!" yesterday.



And being "tick-ooed."

I'm back

Blogger world, I've missed you. I am back, with priorities strictly in order and feeling much more happy and peaceful. More on that to come. A hint: It has to do with God's GRACE.

I have been doing some card making, which actually has to do with a ministry-in-progress. More details coming soon!!



Hop on over to my public blog for all the pictures! The link is at the top of the right sidebar.

And here's Andrew at our nephew's birthday party last week. Rather than be outside on the water slide with all the kids, he wanted to play trains by himself. So he did. He is nothing if not focused.

Andrew in the snow (and on the train)

At three weeks old...

One year old...

And two years old today!

And here he is today riding the train, too. He loved it!! He was actually laughing when the driver took sharp turns--and he wanted to go again, of course. So fun!

Andrew's Santa encounter

We took Andrew to his second annual "Santa at the Calderwoods" party this weekend. He couldn't have cared less about Santa but did have a good time!!

Compare that to last year...

Then here he is this year with Santa...

And last year!

He had the most fun doing THIS!

So there ya go! Hope you're enjoying the holidays, too!!

My baby turned two today
