Boonshoft Museum

Well, Grant decided to allow me to put him down while he is sleeping, so I was able to finish posting pictures!! Here is our day at the Boonshoft museum. It is a children's museum in Dayton. The kids had so much fun! Grayson was asleep before we left the parking lot.

Young's Dairy Farm

Last week we went to Young's Dairy Farm for the first time this year. The kids love petting the animals. There were lots of babies this time. Grant enjoyed seeing the cows from his cozy sling! Grayson was not feeling well and got even worse that night. We have been busy getting him better and getting ready for Mark to go back to work. He started an investigation class at the academy today. It was our first day without Dad. I had it easy though cause Mamaw Lisa came over to get C &G. They are staying the night with her. I have wanted to post these pics but haven't had time. I have other pics from our day at the children"s museum to post too.....we"ll see when I have time for that!

Prayer

Please pray for this little baby. I have been following his amazing story for awhile now. He is currently very sick and in need of lots of prayer. You can click on the picture to go to the website for his mama's blog.

Our Pickle Noodle

We have been very busy with "life". I haven't gotten to hardly be on the computer let alone upload pictures! We have been slackling on taking pictures the last few days. We went to Alice's house and had a photo shoot last Wednesday so I will post those pictures soon! Caroline has nicknamed Baby Grant "pickle","noodle" or "pickle noodle". She talks to him in baby talk and wants to hold and love on him. She is really sweet with him. Grayson just calls him "my baby brother". He loves to kiss him and lay with him! Here are som pics of our little pickle noodle!
Caroline and Grayson have such a hard time taking a nap on Sundays for some reason. Yesterday was no exception. No nap for either of them despite almost 2 hours of trying! Grayson was unbearable! Mark took Caroline to church and the boys and I stayed home. Grayson was asleep on the couch about 10 min. after they left. Grant was so fussy yesterday! He just wanted to eat or be held. I just sat on the couch with my baby boys and snuggled! As tiresome (is that a word?) as this life is right now, I don't want them to grow up!



We have discovered that in order for mommy to get anything done he needs to hang out in the sling mamaw Lisa made him!

Thank You

This is the Thank you I made with the new digital baby boy kit from Creative Memories.
Thank you to all our family and friends for all the prayers,well wishes and gifts!! We are truly blessed.

Little Artists

Well, we have been laying pretty low around here. I decided to let the kids use their paints to entertain them for a little while. They had fun, but what a mess!

Whoa, check out those hands!! Grayson loved smearing the paint EVERYWHERE and then smacking his hands down on the paper to make handprints.

Here is the post painting mess...AHHH! It cleans up easily though!

These squeezable pains are great!!!

And here is how to easily clean up the kids! They love getting in our "big" tub!

Now it's playtime on the floor! Caroline and Grayson Love their baby brother!!

AWWW, Brothers....

We are still getting adjusted to being a family of 5 but it is fun! Grant is sleeping a little better (about 3 hrs at a time) at night. The kids are getting adjusted. We have had some minor bumps (vaseline on the train table, crayon on the fireplace and walls, Bubbles spilled in Caroline's bed) but nothing we can't handle!

Sweet Boy

Here are a few new pics. We have been busy the last few days. Satyrday we had a relaxing day at home. We went to church on Sunday. Grant did great for his first time in church. We had to go to the DR today for a wt. check. He was 6lbs 8oz. He is 1 oz past birth wt. He is growing too fast already! We gave him a bath last night, it was technically his 2nd bath but we forgot to put the memory card back in the camera and didn't get pics of the first one. He is so cute and alert when he wants to be. The kids still look for him as soon as they wake up and say "where's my baby?"
