Recent Pics...

Graham is quite the mountain climber these days - he LOVES to climb up, over, around, through...

Graham loves his frogs that his Ammi gave him - truth be told, he's addicted to baths! He crawls to the tub every time the door to the bathroom is open. We've started blowing bubbles in the tub, too. Which he LOVES! The shower in his tub also has one of those detachable "sprayers" which we've always used. Graham loves to play with it! It's always "raining" in his tub...

He's turning into such a little man with his button down shirts. We dress him a little like his daddy these days.
Graham received a birthday card that plays music - he can't get enough of it. He loves to open and close it.
Trying to keep baby toys and dog toys separate....very hard.



My two fellas on the dock. This was the beginning of our "minnow adventure". Graham's Papa puts his minnow trap in the water every once in a while so that Graham can play with the minnows. (And so that Papa can use them as bait and catch fish!)

Graham LOVES playing with the minnows - they're slippery and very hard to pick up, but he can catch 'em!

Graham's first parade - the Grand Illumination in Norfolk to kick off the holiday season. We went with our dear friends the Andersons.

The kiddos - we're missing Jasper!

About to brave the cold...


Waiting...

Graham was ENTRANCED - he loved all the colors, balloons, dancers, floats. Very fun. This will definitely be an annual tradition for us.

Graham's new favorite thing - feeding the dogs. He literally hands them his food. The girls love it. Mom - not so much.


Graham's Gigi sent him another card that plays music - so fun!

Another fun day at the park. We rode our bikes - with our hats and gloves.


Graham has always been neutral on the slide - now it might be favored over the swing...



Crunching leaves and playing in the dirt - what could be better?

The day was rather windy, and blowing leaves were so fun to chase!


It's finally cold here. So, out comes Kyle's big screen for the backyard and the fire pit. Kyle and his buddy (also Kyle) watched football last night. Warming it up for the super Bowl!

We play a made-up game called "clothespins". Usually the game involves putting clothespins in pans (me) and taking them out (Graham). This time I couldn't resist covering his clothes. The two of us laughed so hard!

Wrong order...this should have been up above. I watched a bit of the American Music Awards with Kyle before the guys watched football. Gotta love a cable outlet in the backyard! (Yeah - crazy, I know. But so Kyle Gift.)

The screen is 10 feet tall. Yeah - it's silly. Kyle got a crazy good deal - $150 for an LCD projector and the screen. From a company he used to rent from that went out of business.
