All over the place update

Update over the last few weeks in iphone pics and quick recaps...

I love this picture of Drew peeling an orange. It's nice to give him something like this to do while I get dinner started. The other night, I let him wash strawberries. They were probably the cleanest strawberries we've ever had. He washed those things for a good 20 minutes. 
The weather this past month has been pretty nice, so we got to play a little golf outside. He picked up right where he left off... setting up the tee, aiming for his target and hitting the ball just as well as he was in the fall.
We stopped by Barnes & Noble one Sunday afternoon and I turned the corner to see this sweetness...
We made a quick stop at the park that afternoon as well. Such a monkey.
I remember going to this park last summer and being a nervous wreck with Drew climbing on this thing and wouldn't let him do it. So big and such a pro now...
My dad kept Drew on MLK day because school was closed. I went over there on my lunch to hang out and this is how he was trying to convince me he was taking a nap...
Every month, each child in Drew's classroom gets a chance to be Student of the Day. They bring a special show and tell, snacks for their friends, they get to be line leader and serve lunch, etc. Well, this past month their classroom group study was on music, so Drew got to bring to his actual guitar to school. Talk about a BIG day for this kid. All the other times he has had a turn, we haven't heard much about it, but he has asked every single day since then if it is his turn yet. His teacher sent me this picture below and the text. I thought it was hilarious that he was telling them about Willie Nelson! I told him to try to play it softly and when I picked him up, the afternoon teacher laughed when I asked if he did. I guess he put on quite the show!
This is how he had to walk to the car when I picked him up...
We had to run in to Taste of Thai after that to pick up dinner for some friends and he wouldn't have walked in there any other way. Such a stud here! Totally owning this rockstar thing.
Conquering another 48 piece puzzle! 
We ran into our sweet classroom friend, Bankston, at the yogurt place. These two are pretty hilarious together. A quick stop for yogurt turned into a full on Friday night play date!
This is the new norm every night when we get home. He will not go inside until he has taken his four wheely-er all over the yard.
One Saturday morning we met some friends at the airplane museum in Fayetteville. Miles and Kemper are Drew's best classroom buddies and they had such a fun time.
This past weekend we went to Jasper to visit family and attend Senior night for our niece, Sidney. When we got into town, we stopped at the courthouse to see Nedra. Drew thought he was big stuff in there...
That night at the games, he got to go out on the court and shoot a basket. He tried so hard to get it all the way up there!
Cute picture of Drew and Halle waiting for Sidney to come out for Senior night.
He got a flower too!
When Cassie's team started playing, he got so into it. Look at this kid cheering them on!
We stayed at the cabin Saturday and just enjoyed the relaxing, quiet day. Drew got to go on a hike with Andy and Cassie, but I don't have those pictures uploaded to the computer yet. It was about a one mile hike and he did the entire thing without skipping a beat. Look how cute and big he looks here..
Of course our quiet day turned into a full on guitar jam session that night. I didn't pack his guitar, so he used a mop instead...
One funny story from the weekend - Drew needed to go to the bathroom, and Dessa told him to go pee off the porch (half way kidding). So he walked over to the sliding back door, opened it and relieved himself right ON the porch. He didn't know he was supposed to go all the way to the edge. But he finally figured it out the next morning...
After the holidays and birthday celebrations, things have slowed way down for us. We are soaking up every minute of these last weekends with just Drew... of course, we absolutely can't wait until Ross Henry gets here. But, having the down time to fully enjoy Drew while we await RH's sweet arrival has been nice. So, this update feels a little less exciting than the last three and definitely more random!
