Such a late, long, overdue post!

For some reason I am always flabbergasted when I go to the blog and see that it's been many, many months since I last did an update.  I might have said this last time I posted, but it seems like the older Andrew gets, the faster time gets away from me, and the less time I have to devote to doing stuff like this.  

And now I have no idea where to start.  I felt like our Winter was 8 months long.  We had snow last month... IN MAY.  It was so bizarre!  It had finally warmed up and we were in shorts and sandals, and even mowed the lawn for the first time all year, and no kidding... two days later it snowed.  The previous Winter here in Ohio was definitely not this extreme.  I honestly feel like we had no Spring.  We went straight from cold and snow to sunny and sweltering.

Andrew is almost 2 1/2 years old now!  He is just shy of 3ft tall and his speech has taken off!  We no longer have trouble trying to figure out what he's saying, it is almost all understandable (at least to Mommy & Daddy!).  He knows SO many words and concepts that surprise us every day!  We are also in full swing terrible twos mode.  My sweet little boy is still my sweet (bigger) boy, but some days are ROUGH!!  He has such a personality and we love seeing him taking in and learning the world around him.  He is at the age now where I'm sure a lot of you are wondering if and when we plan to have another child.  Unfortunately I don't have an answer to that question just yet.  There are some a lot of days where we feel like we have our hands COMPLETELY full with just this one, and other days where we would love for Andrew to be a big brother.  With me being an only child, and Matt coming from a larger family, we know there are certainly merits and disadvantages to each situation.  At this point, we are still trying to decide what we think will be best for our family.  But don't worry, I will keep you all posted (even if it is months from now!  Ha!).

Here is a slew of photos from the last 4 months since my last blog update!
