What a fun week!
Earlier this week Grant and I went to storytime at the Library. It is for children 3-5 years old, so he is a little young, but he has fun... and he is the same size as most of the kids.
Grant got a little distracted but he had a great time singing and playing with the other kids.
The craft was a muti-colored sun-catcher that Grant made all by himself
We were so lucky to spend time with a friend of mine from high school and her children. Luke and Grace are adorable and Grant got to go with them to a bouncy house play area. He was a little leery of the bouncy houses, bt he loved the Foosball and Air Hockey tables!
On Friday we ended up at O'Neill Park for a campfire, s'mores and fun. We will be going back often! It was such a blast, and Grant really enjoyed exploring the campsite... and basking in the heat from the fire.
Over the weekend w went to my moms house and Grant got to pick out and plant his own plant. He chose a cucumber for reasons unknown and one plant turned into four plants...
All in all a wonderful week, and as soon as I get the pictures and video up from the last few days I'll post that. Neal and Grant got a kite and it ad its maiden voyage and Grant plays T-Ball... to be continued..

Welcome friends and family!
Grant is getting so big, today we went to the park and played baseball, basketball, soccer and football. He enjoyed every minute and was REALLY good! I am always shocked at how advanced he is for his age, but being able to hit a baseball (regular sized), with a bat, while it is thrown to him... I don't know too many 2 1/2 year olds capable of doing that! I am so proud of him.
Neal is doing well at Walgreen's and he is regarded as one of the up and coming managers. It is so satisfying to hear how well respected he is within the district and I look forward to seeing him get promoted :) I am doing well with baby #2, the last 2 weeks have been wonderful. The morning/all day sickness is gone and I am starting to look more like a "she might be pregnant" rather than a "she needs to cut back on the donuts!" The baby is moving so much right now, Neal has been able to feel him move for the last week and a half, Grant hasn't been able to sit still long enough to feel the kicks but I am sure he will soon. Grant is so excited to meet his baby brother, and at every doctors appointment he asks if the baby is going to come out yet. My bed rest has been partially lifted to restrictions and I am FULLY taking advantage of it!
This week has been so much fun, last Friday we went to an Angels baseball game and tailgated under the "Big A", then we watched the game from our nosebleed seats. It was Grants first major league game, and he did great. He even stayed up for the fireworks! We left at 10:30pm, and he was talking about the game and fireworks for days to come.
Last Monday we went bowling with the Embury clan. It was such a blast hanging out with them! Such a talented group of kids! Ashton was able to bowl without touching the bumpers and Medoria had a unique run to the line approach that really worked! Grant tried to shot-put the bowling ball and create a mini earthquake to kit the pins. Afterward, we had buffalo wings and laughed. SO blessed to have such great kids to show Grant the ropes.
Yesterday, we had a carefully planned trip to Disneyland. I am still not doing to much walking around, so we planned the rides according to the stops on the train. Grant got to see the Jedi Training show and while he was on Neal's shoulders, his legs fell asleep. We didn't realize this until he was set down and promptly dropped to the floor! That was the funniest and saddest thing ever! Grant had a bout of tears because he couldn't feel his legs and then when he did the pins and needles horrified him. We are such bad parents... laughing at his discomfort... but boy it was funny!
I hope everyone enjoys reading this, now that I am on pregnancy disability I anticipate updating this often and hope this will bring everyone closer. I know Grant loves you all and so do Neal and I. We look forward to sharing our adventures with you!
