Grant and Grace

With the older two at school during the day we have the house (and peace and quiet) to ourselves.  Soaking this all in....

These two - they melt me.  Grace also has a strong resemblance to her big brother, Grant.

a date with Grant...

Grant and I ventured downtown today to see The Elf at the Taft theatre!  Such a great afternoon with my buddy.  I wish it wasn't so cold so we could have walked around fountain square to see the tree - but the weather was so bitter it was all we had to walk from the car to the theatre!  We had such a great little time.

 

 

 

almost a big brother...

Grant is so fascinated with all of the new baby items.  Today I set some time aside to wash the baby's newborn clothes and I even packed my diaper bag to take to the hospital.  Grant was in on the action.  He found this binkie and was reminiscing about his days with a binkie!  Too funny!  Grant is very excited about welcoming this new baby into our family.  He is keeping his fingers crossed for a baby brother! 

 

fall nights!

Nothing better than a fall bonfire at home. 🍂🔥🏈

Happy November. 

Happy gratitude month!!!

Happy Halloween 2016

What a fabulous night of trick or treating!  The weather was so beautiful, the excitement was in the air, the grandparents came over and the neighbors were all out!  A fun night indeed!

(AND I USED MY GOOD CAMERA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS!)  PICTURE HAPPY BELOW.....

 

 

 

Pumpkin farm

Beautiful day for the pumpkin farm with my little boy!  

Savoring all the one on one time I can with him while the other two are in school and before the new baby arrives!  

Grant is such great company and brings me so much joy and happiness!!!

Grants gang

These are Grants two best buddies from school, Luke and Ben.  They were in preschool together last year as well.  These three are always together and will be in kindergarten together next year too.

Here they are off to chick-Fil-a for lunch after a rough morning of preschool!

It's good to be 4!

Grants first day of preschool

Today was finally back-to-school for Grant!  He was super excited to get back to school and see his friends from last year. 

We went to open house last week and he was so excited to find out there is a classroom pet turtle this year in the 4's class!  Such a big deal for a little boy!

It's going to be a great year for Grant.  He will be going to preschool three days a week which allows two days for fun at home.  A perfect balance!

Hard to believe this is his last year of preschool!

Mimi was with us at drop off.  Showing us the class turtle here!

He found his hook.  Grant C.  There's two grants again in his class.

He was all smiles at pickup!  He is anxious to go back!

The many faces of Grant 💙

Grant 4 years old

Somehow he always finds a way in our bed in the middle of the night....

Grants buddies

Grant and two of his best buddies, Will and Hudson.  We are celebrating Wills 5th birthday at the pool today!  These three will be in kindergarten together in two years.  Too cute 💙💙💙

Donuts with Grant

One of life's simple pleasures!!!!

Donuts with this little one!!!!!  What a treat!  The big kids were at camp and after we dropped them off in the morning we made a stop at SweetSensations

 

Pure happiness right here!!!

Love his company!!!!  He is a gem of a kid!

Relaxing on the couch with this cutie!  Cartoons on the rainy day call for couch cuddles!  A break from the sun and pool today!

Grant's Preschool Mother's Day celebration

I wish I could freeze time. Grant truly melts my heart every day. His tender heart, sweet nature, and killer smile melts me every day.  He was so excited to celebrate Mother's Day at his school today. He painted this flowerpot for me and I will cherish it forever.

 He was so excited when I walked in the door.
