pretty girl, pretty dress.

too bad it's one time only wear. One of the dresses I bought for her
last year - thinking, "size 2 would be perfect next year!" ha!

scary monsters!

I was looking through some old pictures on picasa, using their tag
feature - and found these gems. Enjoy!

just before Dru's first haircut

note the discovery of sandy hands

sleep: Dru's favorite!

funny how things sometimes don't change about a person. Dru still
loves to sleep. :) Love the early pictures ... he was 2 months here.

getting old pix back - Dru at 3 mos.

This is Dru - when he was 3 months old. What a cutie!

Dru's teacher's getting married this summer. His perception of being a husband & what they'll look like on wedding day

Love this. Might frame it and give it to his wife on THEIR wedding day. xox

What.a.DAY!

Dru at the Baseball clinic at Wrigley Field

Magic is the only way to describe yesterday. We were able to get Dru
into a baseball clinic at Wrigley Field (note the ivy in the
background!) He had such a great time - so did his parents, watching
him! Babygirl was fond of "walking" daddy - from one side of the
stadium to the other. Ernie got a ball to the head - so we kept it -
red clay from the field and all. "Official MLB training ball!"

We then drove downtown and met cousin Kathy and ambled around
Milennium Park (pictures to follow) and ended our evening at Pizzeria
Due (yes, the one after Uno!) It's not the same as the franchise
concept. It takes an hour for your pizza to be cooked -so they take
your order when your name on a list to wait!

What magic. What a week! Catherine and William, John Paul II
Beatified, Dru at Wrigley, Osama dead.

End of April 2011 & Dru's Baseball pix :)

Our new yard has some fab plantings in it, including a Japanese Maple
(acer japonica ;) ), tulip tree, dogwood (I think it's pink),
hydrangeas, delphinium, hosta, daylilies, a crabapple, several
bradford pears, and of course now herbs.

Dru's so excited about baseball. He's going to be at Wrigley Field
tomorrow for a baseball clinic, what a great opportunity for him! We
are so excited about it and can't wait.

Ernie wants to be a part of everything Dru does - so I grabbed a shot
of Ernie with Dru at bball picture day.

Evelyn - those shots probably need no explanation. A friend french
braided li'l miss' hair and we put a big poofy bow on it!

Enjoy the last day of April everyone! I hoping that the thermometer
starts reading well above 60 - SOON!!

Easter Morning, 2011. He is Risen! Hallelujah!

Ernie is so much fun. It's hard to train the camera on anyone else.

"compliment circle" Dru's last day

And of course, Evelyn has the flags. She ALWAYS grabbed the flags in
Dru's class! As we were looking at these I felt a big ol' tear coming
down from Dru's eyes. Lots in mine, too. We just watched the video
of Dru's teachers Ms. Shawna and Ms. Naga saying goodbye, together
with all the kids in his class.

We miss you, Poe!

Spirit night at Carvers

Ernie certainly seems to be spirited! Vanilla custard, all for Dru's
school, of course. :)
