Drew is Two!

On October 27, Drew turned two! He is definitely a two year old these days. Some of his favorite things to do are: tell me "No, Mommy!", dress and undress himself, climb out of his crib (more on that later), take baths, play with anything car, truck, plane, or train-related, go to Mor Mor and Bapoo's house, eat apples, and give lots of love to his mommy and daddy! We had a little birthday party for him at the Children's Museum. Drew wouldn't leave the train exhibit, which didn't surprise me.

Pumpkin Farm

We took a trip to the pumpkin farm with Leo this year! The boys had a great time! It was so funny to watch them interact. They loved riding in the cars and going on the pony rides. But, talk about a zoo! I mean, literally, there was a zoo there, but I am talking about the hoardes of people! It's almost unbearable. We went on a Sunday afternoon, but apparently, so did the rest of the Chicagoland area. Oh well. It was worth it to see the boys have such a good time.

When the boys were on the car ride, there was a little boy who was not so happy about being there. The series of pictures makes me laugh! Look at the expressions on Leo and Drew's faces! You'll notice that in the last picture, the crying little boy is no longer there! He didn't know what he missed out on!

More Cousin Visits!

We went to Iowa City to see my cousin, Deanne, and her family for the weekend. Drew had fun playing with Grace (7) and Lauren (6). At one point, the girls brought out all their stuffed animals and placed them on the couch around Drew. It looked just like the scene in E.T.!

Visit with Cousins

My cousin, Karl, and his family came in for a weekend visit. He and his wife, Jennifer, have 3 kids: Luke (5), Rachel (3) and Anna (2). Drew had so much fun playing with them! We made a trip to the children's museum where the kids got to ride a train, which they loved! We also went downtown for the day and went to the opening of the new American Girl store. The little girls loved it. The men stayed outside, which didn't surprise me. We wish they lived closer!

A Big Day in Our House...

Today was a momentous day in our house. I pooped on the potty for the first time!

Grandma and Great-Grandma

We had lunch with Grandma and Gigi today. It was a beautiful day, so we took advantage of the weather to snap a quick family photo.
