The Big Catch

I had a whole blog post in my head all ready to go about the horrible time we had in the waiting room at the doctor's office this morning. However, the wounds are too fresh to re-hash on this blog. Just know that we all survived, and that everyone is just fine, despite a couple of ear infections for the girls. Oh, and for anyone that is keeping track, Julianna weighed in at a whopping 13 pounds 6 ounces. Apparently she had been under the 10th percentile for weight last month so it's very good that she packed on over a pound this past month. Way to go girl!!

So, instead of reliving the horrible morning, I thought I would share Drew's fishing story. What a big kid he is! :) Drew, always the Cautious Carl, is pretty slow to warm up. But, he really developed a fondness for Papa Brad over the weekend. They bonded while pulling in gigantic fish. Okay, so only Drew caught a fish, and it wasn't really giant, more minnow size, but no less exciting!! When we heard the news that Drew had hooked a fish all by himself (Tom and Papa were on hand, but Drew was actually holding the pole when it happened!) Anyway, when we heard, David and I went in to paparazzi mode. We came running cameras in hand. I started screaming at David to get the still shots and I would take care of the live video. I haven't seen the photos from David yet, but he says he took about 50, so surely there's a good one in there!

This is before the big catch. Drew is learning the art of patience (which he has quite a bit of for a 2 year old.)

Here is the footage of the big catch. Drew was really excited about it. He told everyone that he caught a fish. He learned quickly to spread his hands just a bit wider everytime he told the story. "My fish was THIS BIG!" he would say...as his hands spread.
