reading

Recently, Alexa was sitting peacefully on the chair reading some books when Grant came along and joined her. There was no disruption or fighting - just a quiet session of reading together. It made my heart swell that, not only were they enjoying this time with each other but also because Grant wasn't eating the books!!!

Squirmy lives on!


Yes, Squirmy is still alive. I don't know how but that caterpillar has survived living in a jar at our house for many many weeks now. Alexa enjoys taking him out so Dad can replenish the leaves and grass. She has even become so brave as to let him crawl on her hand and arm - it totally grosses me out so I just gag behind her back and then encourage her to her face. How long will he live??? Stay tuned for a later update...

Halloween party 2009

Alexa (the dancer) Grant (Pooh Bear) Julia (Snow White) and Luke (Lightning McQueen)
Seriously, could they be any sweeter?? Yep - they can when they have sugar and candy all over their faces! We sure do LOVE our time with family!!!

shall we dance?

Aren't they cute? Recently, Alexa got to enjoy a "dance" party with her cousins, Maci and Mackie. I don't believe there's anything she loves more than "partying" with her cousins (all wonderful 5 of them!!!!)
