happiness..

...is being able to truly play in a backyard. Andrew is having so much fun running out to the backyard by himself.. while this may seem like a simple luxury, it is one that he hasn't had yet until this new house. In our old house, we had a pool and a big backyard that he could not go out to unless someone was with him. It wasn't a great backyard for exploring, playing, and digging. But with our new yard, Andrew has free range! He is absolutely loving it- he keeps his boots by the backdoor and heads out there when the mood strikes him. :)

His new favorite thing is to play "forest man" and sit in the tree on the left while "hunting wolves" (ie. chasing our dogs around with a plastic sword and binoculars hehe!) I love that he is able to really play like a child should. :)

P.S...!!

The tooth fell out about a week ago, and I keep forgetting to update you all! I will post a photo soon of the toothless grin- he looks adorable! :) And for those of you who were inquiring, the tooth fairy's rate at our house turned out to be a half dollar! It went over very well with Andrew and he can't wait to lose another tooth hehe!

Enjoy a happy weekend! xo!
