Maine

A couple of years ago, I became obsessed with horses. I probably would have brought one home if I thought our townhome association would allow it!

While on vacation in Maine visiting Bum's parents, Mitch suffered through a few hours of shopping with me in a cute little town with lots of specialty shops and such. That is where I found my horse! I told Mitch that if he bought it for me, I would stop harassing him about getting a real one.

It worked! And now Maine hangs out with Drew and enjoys wrestling on the couch, getting steamrolled on the floor or watching videos with him.

When we move into the reverse culdesac, I call horse farm!

The pool was a big hit!

Goodbye Winter!















I'm going to eat this bear.








Who, me?










A family love affair with mediocre baseball.


Go Hawks! (that's Blackhawks you Iowa fans)

I hate broccoli!

Shout Out

In honor of Pappa D and Grandma's trip to South Carolina this week, I put Drew in his USC windbreaker for our walk today. Dropping Kirsten and Austin off at the airport this morning made me wish we were spending a week on the beach. As Toad, from Frog and Toad, would say...Blah!

Viewers Poll

Does Drew Walter look too much like Blossom with the current configuration of this hat?

Crabby Town

The last few days have been a tad rough on my little man...and Mommy and Daddy too. We added cereal to Drew's diet for breakfast and dinner and in turn, we didn't see a poopy diaper for two full days. This from the boy who normally produces 2-8 per day. So thank you rice cereal for the whole 4 hours of sleep we got Sunday night followed by a napless, crabby and finicky Monday. Lucky for us his Pampers held strong last night when he filled them to max capacity. To celebrate, we started on Oatmeal this morning. You can see how much he enjoyed it!
