An Update

Grant: attached to me!!!!

Grant smiling for the camera!

What a busy week! I have finally found the time (and energy) to sit down and post on my blog. We had a great time Tuesday evening with Brian's youth group out at our house. I think we ended up with about 60 people here. The kids were great as always and I am glad to provide a place for them to hang out, play some football and volleyball and fellowship with each other. We have enjoyed seeing Brian and the kids this week.

These are a few pictures I have taken recently. The first picture is Grant holding onto my legs. This is what he does at night when I come home from work. I can hardly get anything done because he wants his mama to hold him. It's very sweet, even though I can't move. The second picture is Grant in his rocking chair. He's smiling for the camera. We are going to give the chair a new coat of paint and put in on the front porch with our rocking chairs when Stephen finishes it.

Well I hear Grant fussing about something. I better go and check on him. More to come.

More to Come

I know I haven't kept up with the blog lately, but I have been extremely busy. I am cleaning house tonight in preparation for Brian to bring his youth group out tomorrow. I promise I will post some new pics soon!

Walking Me Ragged

We have been very busy this week at our house. Grant is walking up a storm. He goes no stop until its time to go to bed. It's very exhausting to me. Gone are the days when he would just sit and play with his toys. Oh well...it's a new chapter in his life!

We are preparing for Brian and Liz to visit next week. He is bringing his youth group down to Jacksonville to help out with a VBS at Dean Road. He is bringing the kids out Tuesday evening for hamburgers and hot dogs. This kids enjoy "coming out to the country" and playing football and volleyball. We enjoyed having them last year. We are hoping that it doesn't rain them out.

Weekend Update

The Boys: Joe and Grant

We had a very busy week! I know I have not posted anymore pictures from the beach, but I think I have solved the photo upload problem. Unfortunately for me it involves another step to re-size each picture before I upload it to my blog.

Yesterday we went over to my Uncle Tony's house for a low country boil. My cousin Kristin, her husband Neil, and their adorable baby boy Joe were there for a visit. It has been a long time since I have seen Kristin. We had such a good time I wish we could have stayed longer! We enjoyed visiting with them and letting the boys play. Hopefully we will be able to keep in touch and the boys will get to know each other.

Some More Beach Pictures

I will continue to try, try again to upload some family photos. This adorable picture of Luke took me 20 minutes to upload onto my site. I attempted to upload this picture 4 times before it worked! I keep getting the error message: "Could not connect to Blogger.com. Saving and publishing may fail." Does anyone else have this problem?

More Beach Pictures

One tired baby boy!

Grant and his Mama

I have had problems uploading pictures onto Blogger recently. Has anyone else had trouble posting? I planned on posting 7 photos, but it has taken 30 minutes to post the two on the page. I am sorry for the delay and I will continue to try later.

We had a laid back forth of July this year. We had lunch with Stephen's family and went to church last night. We saw a few fireworks that our neighbors were setting off. We brought Grant out side to see the fireworks, but he did not pay attention to them. He was not impressed. That's about it. I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July!

Has This Ever Happened to You?

Grant had a very funny episode this evening at church. After services Grant was parading around in the foyer showing off his walking skills when his diaper fell out the bottom of his pants! I am not sure how it happened, his outfit was snapped at the crotch. He just kept on walking. I quickly scooped him up and stashed the diaper in the diaper bag hoping that no one saw him. I then carried him commando to the nursery to quickly put a new diaper on him. Luckily I arrived dry and disaster was avoided! We couldn't help but laugh!

We arrived home from vacation yesterday just in time to change clothes and head into Jacksonville for Stephen's ten year reunion. It was nice. We got to see a few friends that we hadn't seen in a while and catch up on each other's lives. Everyone seemed to be very happy!

Today we have rushed around trying to complete shopping lists, mounds of laundry and lost hours of sleep! We almost need a few extra days to recover from all of the fun we had on our trip. Unfortnately its back to the daily routine tomorrow! I will post more pictures from our trip throughout the week.
