Number 2 Turns 2!
Do we dare think the terrible two's are upon us?! Maybe they've already made their appearance but our high energy, independent one is so much fun. Here are birthday photos of Lucas' big day. Each birthday phone call and song sung brought a smitten smile and laughter to our now two-year-old! Owen is also especially fond of HIS new, oh wait, Lucas' new tball set!

To pee or not to pee?
A couple weeks back I spent my Friday having fun with the kids and catching up from a normal week of crazy. It had been just one of those days that was going along so smoothly. I actually was able to make a quick trip to the bathroom without kids hanging at my feet or trying to pry open the door...that's a great day. So with Kaila snacking in her highchair and the boys happily zooming cars on the kitchen floor I made my way to the half bathroom. As I returned just a minute later I stood in complete awe as the boys had taken liberty with the drawers of placemats, dish towels, pot holders, bibs, and the ever so adored lovies. They were litered everywhere. No wonder I hadn't heard much of anything, they picked the "quiet" drawer. So before I said a word and organized the massive pickup game I snapped a couple photos.

Secure Art
Lucas has watched big brother many times as he carefully chooses magnets to properly hang his artwork. Now it was his turn, the problem, maybe too many magnets, no I believe it was a safety issue. Kaila's become really good at swiping papers off the fridge if hung too low so he went for pure security with his masterpiece!

About Us...
I started a blog back around the holidays in 2008 when the blessing of two boys was keeping us laughing, tired, and on our toes each day. Then a couple posts later we shared the news of a third baby on the way. Quite a surprise to us and any followers as our postings had just revealed our 6-month-old was crawling. So as reality set in, we prepared to fill our home and hearts once again (with a darling girl) and posted updates more often.
Now that the VanDrie5 is together, life is busy, to say the least, and postings become farther a part. But, we cherish our moments together and hope to share a glimmer of our crazy with you. Thanks for peeking in and taking a closer and more personal look at our family.
