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!!!
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...
Alexa (the dancer) Grant (Pooh Bear) Julia (Snow White) and Luke (Lightning McQueen)
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!!!!)
Here we are picking out pumpkins to take home. Grant was very helpful in pushing them around and Alexa did a wonderful job in choosing the "perfect" one for each of us ;o) Happy Fall!!
Check out this face of pure joy and satisfaction!! Grant has mastered climbing on to chairs and couches - so look out if we're coming to your home!! This feat has added a whole new level of excitement and exploration to his life. Agghhhh!!!
We had a fun filled weekend of playing in leaves at Nana and Grandpa John's house. After a whole week of rain, the weather cleared up for a day so we could enjoy it - it was awesome!!
