Family Home Evening Talent

Drew is starting to read. He watches a video every morning after breakfast called "Your Baby Can Read" and he is starting to reconize words on the flash cards that came with the videos.


Home Improvements

Josh has been in a home improvement mode trying to get the house ready for the baby, and that also means keeping Steph happy. With warm weather hopefully on the way Josh installed a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. Not being much a mister fix it, Josh was quite proud to have installed without breaking anything!

With the baby girl on the way we had to clear out the old office and turn it into a baby room. This meant some rearranging of furniture. In the process Drew gladly gave his dresser to the baby girl and in exchange Josh sanded and painted an old dresser for Drew. Notice if you will Drew requested it to be painted Chicago Bulls colors!



The baby girl's room is now completely painted. Josh painted the walls and Steph's co-worker Keri Carter painted the flowers and butterflies. She did an amazing job!

Our little Batman

I got a new camera for my birthday, so we have been taking pictures. The problem is that I have not blogged in so long, that I don't know where to start. Josh got Andrew these new PJ's the other day, cape and all. Batman is, according to Josh, the most invincible superhero there is, so he wanted Drew to have the opportunity to be like Batman. I think Josh had more fun with Drew running around in this outfit than anyone else in the house!
We've been working on getting the house ready for our new baby girl. It's coming up fast! I'll post pictures of the finished room when it's all complete. We're getting there, and for those of you on facebook, you have probably seen a "preview" of the room on Josh's page.
On another piece of news, Drew started to read last week. I'll get video soon to put on the page, but he has a few little flashcards that we use with him, and he knows a number of the words on the cards now. He loves to read, and with this new knowledge, I hope he continues to grow and learn and enjoy reading as he gets older!
