Catching up on the last month

Riding his "truck" outside

Walk along the Ohio River one evening

I think we are entering the "wanting to be naked all the time" stage...uh oh. 

Our strawberries have finally produced...a LOT...more than I can keep up with, which is a good problem to have!

Bad picture but a fun night at Captain's Quarters for the Steamboat Race with friends

Stopped by for EmmyLou's birthday party with Mary and Amanda (and baby Luke)

The hose and the pool provide hours of entertainment

Nate and I had some friends over for Derby to cookout and watch the races. Mary brought Luke and Andrew was smitten and wanted to "hold Luke" all evening. Mary was, thankfully, patient and let both of them in her lap numerous times. I hope he still loves babies in 7 weeks!

Tom looks like he's saying "What are you talking about?" while Katie has an "I told you so" look on her face. But really, not sure what this is about, just one of a few I took that evening!

Mary insisted on taking a domestic picture of me barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen with Nate:)

One of my favorite things to do...read on the couch with my sweet boy!

We headed to Forest Fest at Jefferson Memorial Forest to hear some live bluegrass  music. Andrew was a bit hard to contain but Nate managed to wrangle him in for a bit!

We had to establish some "boundaries" to where he was allowed to wander off to (as in, no more than 5 feet from us!) This boy is an explorer and would take off never to return if Nate or I didn't chase him down! This tree was one of the "limits" we set and he spent a good bit of time pushing that limit!

Watching the 23 String Band...every once in awhile he'd burst into a dancing frenzy and then abruptly stop....it was hilarious!

He loves being on Nate's shoulders!

Sunday evening

A visit from Erin and Leena

 Erin and Leena came up for several days this week to visit Louisville! I was so glad to get to hold my sweet little niece again (it's been over 4 weeks and babies change so much so quickly).

 Aunt Laura came for the party too...Drew was mildly obsessed with "Lee-La" as he called his cousin and wanted to grab her feet and "pat-pat" gently on her constantly. To say it was a little chaotic at my parents house this week is an understatement and I feel as if I got somewhat of a preview of what life will be like for us in a few short months. Ahhhh!

Luckily, Drew was not jealous at all when anyone (including me) held Leena. He just wanted to hold her too which was a little tricky but we managed.

 Sweet picture with her mama:)

 We did a little baby photo shoot as well and although she cried through most of them a few came out alright. Photographing babies is tough!

Classic...I think this is how she felt through 90 percent of the photos I took!

Easter Weekend

Easter weekend we headed north to Ohio to visit Omi and Opaw. We did plenty of fun things, like reading...

Getting turned upside down by Dad...

Throwing the ball around the yard...

Aunt Kelsey came to hang out too!

What trip to a grandparent's house is complete without a ride on the lawnmower?

Easter morning the bunny left a jelly bean trail and a goodie bag for Andrew

And our attempt at an Easter photo with Nate didn't quite pan out!

But he was all smiles with Opaw!

Love this picture!

First family photo shot in some time!

We did an egg hunt later that afternoon when the sun came out.

The Easter Bunny left eggs that were shaped like bugs and snakes...pretty cool!

We had a great weekend visiting with Nate's family and enjoyed getting to see Darryl preach at church on Sunday too. We ate a lot of good food (as usual), hiked a little bit, played in the park, and just enjoyed catching up with everyone.  Happy Easter!

Playing in the park

Omi came for a weekend visit (she's awesome like that) and we headed to the park to play.

Huggin a tree:)

Omi was good at trying to keep him somewhat coralled with all that free space to run in!

And there were fun things to discover like holes in trees!

And sometimes you just want to run in an open field...

Getting pushed on the swing by Dad

Unrelated picture...but he's turning out to be quite a ham these days!
