A Picture

In preparation for Auntie Ann's arrival, Grant drew her a beautiful picture.

He was quite thoughtful while he colored.

The final piece looked like colorful fireflies zooming all over the page.

His Tactics

This is what he does when he wants something to eat.

It makes me laugh every time.

I got to hold my new nephew yesterday.

All day yesterday I was so excited to get to hold a newborn, and he did not disappoint.

Banana Bread

We bought a bunch of extra bananas so we could whip up some bread.

Now I get to deliver some to the parents of our new nephew!

Train Ride

We are enjoying Keith's 2 week break from school.

We took Grant on the train at the park.

Grant loves dogs. He got to meet a friendly black lab at the park.

It totally made his day.

We are totally not going to get a dog. See that stuffed dog he has? It's so easy to take care of.

We even got our fish kite up for a little while.

At the park

Grant and I decided to walk to the park this morning. We quickly noticed that it was a little too warm to be out, but oh well...we needed to get out of the house. So we sat in the shade under the playground and scooped sand.

Then Zoe came! And they had to run around in the sun! Grant was determined to catch up to the birds and grab them or something, but they kept flying away. He also tried to hold Zoe's hand a few times. At least that's what it looked like he was trying to do. Then we left before it got way too hot. Grant had sand stuck all over his arms and in his hair where he'd had sun screen on. We will try going an hour or two earlier next time. The sad thing is that it was only 8:15 in the morning!

My boys

What a busy, busy boy I have. Both of them! Keith is finishing his 2 classes this week. His last final is tonight! Hooray! And then he has a 2 week break from school! Double hooray!

My other busy boy has just reached a new plateau in life. He's like a full fledged toddler now and not a baby (well at least in my eyes). Just 3 more months and he'll be going to nursery at church! HOORAY!

And...Auntie Ann is coming in 2 weeks!

2 peas in a pod

These two cousins just love to play together.

When they go to each other's house to get babysat, they stick by each other's side the whole time. Grant was so excited to have Zoe come over the other night. He was playing like a maniac & took a while to calm down to go to bed.

When they are at Grandma & Grandpa's house they get jealous if Grandma or Grandpa is holding the other baby.

I'm glad Grant has a cousin close in age to run around with.
