New Addition

Our family welcomed a new addition to our home last week....

A new dinette high top table. There had been a Kangaroo Playground in this space, but Nena gifted us a table for the space. Love it and all the fun we are having with our family time.


Craft time.....


Icky nose picking, Yuck!

Aquarium Fun

So much fun was had in vacation. One fun stop was the Ripley Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN.

Checking out the fish...

Water Day

The last day of preschool was water day. Ms. Janel had water toys outside for play time and cool snacks inside then fun water centers. MJD had a great time and I was so happy the little bean and I could be there with you.




Loved watching you guys say your special prayer before snack.

Baby Clothing

There are some articles of clothing from MJD that as I go through I just can't imagine putting on Bean....either I lost interest in the piece, think it's way out of "baby fashion" or am over seeing it. But then there are a few items that I just absolutely love :)

This outfit MJD wore for his first Christmas....
(MJD 9 weeks old.)

Here is Bean in it....
( LAD 7 weeks old.)

Can you tell that they're brothers????

Preschool Graduation


Hard to believe that last week my big little guy finished his first year of preschool. :)

Six


Today is our six year wedding anniversary. While it has been a great weekend, it is quite a different life than 5 years ago.

Today we slept in, kind of, I still woke for feedings...picked up our big from his sleepover, ate pizza in bed for lunch, napped, went to get shoes as our anniversary presents, and did dinner with our boys.

Not quite a romantic getaway this year, but that is ok. This is the stage of life we are in and we are walking it together so it is great.



Big getting fitted for finger shoes. The guys were so patient and helpful.



Chopsticks at Pei Wei...great food and fun new experience.




So tonight as I curl into bed with a nursing tank and comfy pants, I am okay that we aren't on a romantic island it anything because the man next to me is pretty amazing and lives this life with me.

6 down....60+ to go!!!

He did it!

Last night we received an email notifying us that Tim's engineering board results were posted! STRESS as we try to log into the site....

The results open up and listed under his name is the word PASS!

Relief, the process is over.
Grateful for God seeing us through this journey.
Peace that it won't be repeated.
Strength as we realize this incredibly difficult road is over and we not only endured the process we were made stringer through it.

So proud of my husband, Tim Drumm P.E.

From the lips of children

I love the way you say "Thank you, thank you, thank you" in threes when I let you play with paint.

When you don't want to do something you say "No thank you," as if by using your manners it makes exempt from doing the task. Clever try.

"No mama, you can't put me in time out, I am the big brother."

When that line didn't work you came up with "Jesus loves me! I can't go to time out."

Love the way you tell me you miss me when we have been part for a while.

You ask me to "teach you" how to do things now and it makes me slow down and enjoy things with you more.

Love how you call your brother "Liam Andrew" when you talk about him.

Listening to you talk about angels reminds me about how much more innocent you are than I realize. Wish for you to stay like that as long as possible.

Bad Day!

All was going well today...UNTIL................

I did this....
By hitting this.....
I wasn't late, I wasn't on the phone, or listening to the radio. I was backing out of the driveway, forgot the truck was there, forgot that I didn't pull in straight because I had to get the boys out of the car and didn't want to hit doors on the wall of the garage....GRRR!!!! I cried. Such a stupid mistake. I am usually so careful with things, especially my car. My poor husband. I know he was mad and he was so gracious to me. UGH! What a bad time for this to happen, when I'm not working and we're watching money. Before our vacation trip, when we need the cars. Ugh, better stop before I cry again.

Mother's Day Blessings

What a wonderful first mother's day of two 2 boys! I thought blessings would double, but it seems like they've quadrupled!

Daddy let me sleep in :) Which resulted in being late for church :( Oh well.
Handmade cards from the boys, with some help from Daddy.

Lunch at Red Robin with my crew.

Presents from MJD that he made in school for me.
Presents from Nena :)
My boys being sweet....(MJD busted his chin on a chair at church when he was fooling around, hence the mark!)
Movie time before bed...MJD being a "good big brother" and on paci duty. Figured it was easier to hold it in place than to keep having to stop watching his show to replace it.

For Becka.....

This morning the outfits I had planned for the boys didn't work out, so I went looking for something else. Pulled this cute brown romper out that I love but it was all wrinkled...so I went to the iron and ironed it....then thought perhaps this is a bit much, bet Becka might chuckle at me for this.

UPDATE: After I put the little bean in the outfit, he spit up!!!! Grrr. Had to go iron another one :)
