Oh so tired taking Daddy to work!

I'm rolling over!

This is Andrew's idea of babysitting...I went to the grocery store and came home to them both sound asleep and Carter chowing down!

Hello everyone!

Hey guys. Not much new at the Drysdale household. We are just chugging along! Andrew is doing well at work and has been actually enjoying getting some new responsibilities. It has been stressful for the family...he worked 70 hours last week...including Sunday. YUCK. This week however has been much calmer and we love it when daddy is home more!

Carter has been doing great. He has such a fun personality and never stops grinning. He is sleeping out of mommy and daddy's room and in his big boy room. I hate it! He is still sleeping through the night and morning is his favorite time...so smiley! It almost makes me like mornings! He had his two month checkup this past Monday and weighed in at 13 lbs. 4 oz. and was 23 1/2 in. long. Such a big boy! He has started rolling over all the time and it has been so fun to see him progress in different areas. Of course, he still loves his daddy more than me but we are working on changing that! :)

We had family pictures taken last week. It was really fun. Carter did really well and we got a "few" good ones. I had HIGH expectations for our first family picture and ended up a little disappointed but I think overall we are pleased with the results. I think Carter would have done better but our photographer was a little rough around the edges and scared Carter to death. Every time she tried to make him laugh...he puckered up and cried! It was hilarious for Andrew and I.

Here are just a few pics from around the house. We love you guys and we'll post our family pics as soon as we get them back! Hope you have a great week!

Nothing much new...as usual. :) We traveled back home this past weekend for a wedding. It was SO fun to see great friends from high school. Andrew finally got to meet a lot of them which was super fun. Carter continues to amaze us everyday. Carter went with us to the wedding but my parents came and got him before the reception. It was the first time Andrew and I have spent time together and without Carter. We missed him but we had sure missed each other as well! He is our pride and joy! My mom is hanging in there. Each chemo treatment hits her a little harder but she continues to do well. I have put up a picture on here of her (with and without a wig!)

Andrew officially found out that he is unable to fly last Thursday. We were super disappointed but at the same time we finally got an answer, so we're happy that things might be moving forward. Now, we are waiting on his doctor to write up the official letter and send it to the medical board. Supposedly this takes a couple of weeks. There might be some BIG changes in the next couple of months! Also, Andrew is taking online classes full time right now. He was able to do that since he hasn't been flying. He is doing fantastic so far. We are super proud of you! :)

Carter continues to keep me busy. I have started to scrapbook (Andrew bought me a ton of stuff for my birthday a couple of weeks ago!) It is super fun and I wish I had started a long time ago! Also, my calling at church keeps me busy. I love the girls!

We hope this update finds you all well. We love you guys and would love to hear from you! Keep us updated!

Hello Everyone. Not much new in the Drysdale household. Imagine that! Life is wonderful. Andrew and I catch ourselves everyday thinking how blessed we are to be in the places we are. We LOVE being parents and are learning more and more each moment how precious Carter is. The baby is growing, growing and growing! I believe he grows out of an outfit every other day!

We have been traveling back to Missouri quite a bit lately to visit family. I had my five year class reunion last weekend. Crazy! I can't believe it has been that long. It was super fun to see friends and show off my family. One of my best friends from high school is getting married so we'll travel home for that the first weekend of August. I am still staying busy with my calling in the YW's program and have just began to scrapbook. I still am having trouble finding ANY extra time but I know that we'll get a routine down eventually!

Update on my mom: She is doing well. Each chemo treatment seems to be hitting her a bit harder but after three or four days she is back on her feet. She sure is being a trooper and hanging in there. She loves seeing Carter (of course) and I really think it takes her mind off of the fact she has cancer! I think losing her hair has been the biggest challenge to overcome for her. School starts soon and she is going to try and teach as much as she can. She wants to keep life as normal as possible. The school has hired an assistant to be in her classroom that will also be there to sub the days she isn't. This will make it super easy to miss if she needs to. Three more chemo treatments left!

Andrew is doing great. He is getting a lot accomplished at work and even getting promoted for early rank! Woo hoo! Right now he is enrolled in two online classes which can be challenging for him at times but he is doing really well at staying on top of them. He went to the flight doctor last week for another update. Basically the ENT that we have been going to for the last three months didn't do a thing he was supposed to! How frustrating! The flight doctor ordered a CT Scan and sent him to another ENT. We went to the new ENT on Wednesday and left without any position results. Another appt. on Monday with the flight doctor might be our last! We'll wait and see. We are trying to be patient but it's tough! Keep us in your prayers as we begin to make a few transitions!

Back to Carter. He is still sleeping through the night. How lucky are we? Like I said earlier he is growing out of clothes right and left! He is just the greatest and really starting to show a ton of personality. Andrew can really get him to grin and even chuckle sometimes! He is a super happy baby and sometimes goes all day without even crying! We'll be doomed if our second has a bit of temper! :) Andrew is definitely his favorite right now but I'm not concerned...we get plenty of bonding time during the day!

Wow, for nothing to say I sure updated a lot. Hope everyone is well and enjoy the weekend!
