Long Time, No Blog!


Okay, okay... So its been, well, a VERY long time since my last post!  I must start off with an apology to all of my loyal followers... So Mom, I'm sorry.  :)

Things have definitely been busy at the Berkshire household lately.  For one, Drew is now WALKING!!!  Crazy, I know!  That is exactly how I've been feeling lately!  Keeping up with him is proving to be a very difficult task!  He is all over the place!  We've been trying to keep doors closed and cabinets shut, but we're only two people.  Therefore, I must say there have been some tragedies along the way.  A few weeks ago I was talking on the phone in the kitchen with Drew playing in "his" drawer.  I turned my back for just a second and I heard a loud crash!  For some stupid reason, I had a glass handle-jug of premixed margaritas in a bottom cabinet... Drew grabbed the handle and it came crashing down!  He was sitting in a gi-normous puddle of margaritas sucking on his margarita-soaked fingers with a huge smile across his face!  Lord, have mercy on us... please?  We know not what we do.  Needless to say, there are no more bottles in bottom row cabinets any longer!  

Anywho, here is just a taste of what we've been up to lately.  We've been so busy the last few months!  And it looks like things won't be slowing down any time soon... its going to be a busy summer!

This is Drew playing the piano at Mimi's house!



My little Beethoven, so cute!


Where else would they let you WALK ON THE TABLE???
Only at Mimi's house!

Drew about to get a bite of Mimi's chicken & dumplings


YUM!


My, how things have changed since the last time Sarah
and I got together!  Let's just say we were holding something
other than a child in our hands the last time...


Our waiter decided to give Drew a package of Oreos-
what a WONDERFUL idea that turned out to be!


He managed to get them everywhere!


Even between his toes!!!!


Drew LOVES ice cream, too!  Notice the tear on his 
cheek- I (stupidly) tried to remove the Fudgesicle
for half a second in order to get a bib on him... not a 
smart thing to do.  He was very mad at me when I 
snapped this shot!


Drew and Elise playing with the toys.  Notice the yellow
band-aid on his hand.  That was to cover an injury sustained 
during previously-mentioned margarita accident.  Yes, Mother 
of The Year award goes to ME!


Elise is such a cutie-pie!


Drew wasn't sure what to think of a pretty girl being
at his house!


This is Drew sitting in his cousin Kai's TV chair- yes, it is pink.


Aw, my two favorite guys lounging in the pool


Going for a walk at the Rivermarket


Isn't that the cutest little bum you've ever seen??!!


Our little stowaway


Drew "helping" Mommy with the dishes


If he's in the tub, the fish is in his mouth... I don't know...



Hope everyone enjoyed my first post in almost 3 months!  Have a safe and happy summer!

Daffodils


Drew playing patty-cake with Daddy

Looking at the pretty daffodils


   So pretty!




I love this picture of him

Posing for the camera


He loves riding on Daddy's shoulders


So a few weeks ago, we went for a drive out to Wye Mountain to see the Daffodils.  Wye Mountain is about a 20 minute drive from West Little Rock.  Every year the church out there has the Daffodil festival, which we missed, but we still had fun.   Our next-door neighbors, the Smiths, and their little boy Carter went with us.  These are a few of our pics from the day.  I took a bunch more, but this post would literally be about a mile long if I posted them all!  These are a few of my favorite pics though.  Carter and Drew are about 2 months apart in age- Carter is older.  But they seemed to play well together!  Hope everyone enjoys the new pics!

Whew! Long time no see!

Cousin Kai jumping on her new trampoline


Drew swinging in his new swing!


He loved his swing!


New swingset at Gigi & Poppy's house


Love it!


This was the day he found Molly & Buddy's food


He's so handsome!



Could he be any cuter?


You caught me!


Hmm... which one do I want to watch???


Little Red Corvette!


Hey there pretty lady... wanna ride??


Finger painting is so much fun!


Finger paint from head to toe!


This is too cool!


Look at those eyes!


Drew, you can't EAT the ball!


Playing in his room!


Once again, I have taken an unplanned "leave of absence" from my blogging...  I really don't know where all of my time goes, but I'm sure you other Mommies completely understand my problem!  Anywho, a lot has happened since my last blog-  I think I had mentioned the fact that Drew was walking, right?  Well, we're on to bigger and better things now!  Standing up, climbing the TV stand, following Mommy and Daddy wherever we go, and (0f course, its inevitable) falling down!  Yep, we've recently discovered the world of bumps and "boo boos", and let me tell you... it is NOT fun!  My poor little guy has suffered a handful of knots on his head.  But, he's definitely a trooper!  No trips to the ER yet (knock on wood), so we must be doing okay!  
I want to post some new pics of Drew before he wakes up from his mid-morning nap!  Hope everyone is doing great!
