Drew and the lawnmower

Yesterday afternoon Russell came home from work and decided it was finally time to mow the grass after its winter hiatus. (At least that's a positive thing about daylight savings time...it's still light long enough after he gets home to get it done.) Drew got his own lawnmower at Christmas, so we decided it was time for it to make its appearance as well. He had a great time out in the back yard (before Russell was out there mowing - for safety reasons) pushing it around and figuring it out. Then after he got tired of that he wanted to go "watch" Daddy. He was such a big boy - he sat on the front porch and just watched him with the utmost admiration. Then when he moved to the back Drew went out there and played with his sandbox, ate a snack, and just enjoyed the beautiful weather. I'm sure Russell is looking forward to the day when he can turn over the lawn mowing duties to Drew (and Josh), but for now we'll have to be content to have a little boy who loves to spend time with his daddy and wants to be just like him!
