Just another post...

Not much new to report here in the Andrews house. Everything is business as usual. Oh, yeah, we had a baby this morning. We also got a new coffee maker. It is really nice.

More on that later...

Old Couples..

Tonight I was watching TV and there was an old couple in the airport. She said to her husband, "I've got to go to the bathroom. Come on, you have to go, too." His response was, "How do you know if I have to go to the bathroom? ....okay, you're right. I do have to go." LOL...

That reminds me of so many conversations and interactions I have witnessed with old couples. I really admire couples that have been together so long that they communicate on another level. They know each other in such great detail that the normal observer is amazed. They also share a lifetime of stories and experiences.

What a truly wonderful gift from God! I aspire to grow old with Judy and be one of those old couples!

Christmas Pictures..

Katie got a shopping cart for Christmas. This isn't just any shopping cart, though.. I think someone must have searched high and low to find the "Special Edition" with squeaky wheels. When I say squeaky, don't be confused. You know how sometimes you grab a cart in the store and start pushing it around and every person is stopped in their tracks as they turn to see what that horrible noise is? That's this cart.

We extend our sincerest gratitude for this gift. :)

Holidays..

Wow... Are the holidays already over?? I can't believe that Christmas has already come and gone and that we are almost a week past that.

As you can imagine, Christmas with 2 kids plus a wife who is 8 months pregnant can provide quite a busy schedule. We put a little more effort into Christmas this year because Micah is to the age where he is starting to understand and enjoy it. I put more Christmas lights on the house this year than any other year. I also followed it up by going the day after Christmas to buy about 8 more strands of lights for half price. Looking forward to the lights next year!! :)

We also spent a lot of time (as usual) with our families for Christmas. It was good to get together, eat, and enjoy our families. The kids always enjoy time with family.

To follow up a really great time at Christmas, I went camping with Micah, Jeremy, and Logan. We went camping for real -- no campsite..we went to the forest. Made our own campsite. It was a lot of fun and I think Micah will have lots of good memories from that trip. I really can't wait for the next opportunity to take him.

Three Year Olds in Public..

We were eating lunch on Sunday in McAlister's. We had been sitting at our table for about 5 minutes waiting on our food to arrive when a loud noise came from behind us. A few tables over, another family was seated with a baby in an infant car seat perched atop an overturned high chair. The high chair must have fallen back and the car seat and infant hit the ground. The baby was obviously unharmed and the fall was quite gentle, but made enough noise for everyone immediately around to notice. I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for the father who picked up the baby--his embarrassment was on his face. Everyone that had seen it looked on as the father held the baby. In a truly natural three year old volume level, Micah exclaimed, "Oh, it was only the baby!" ...whew! We were all relieved. :)
