Homeward bound...

We had a successful couple of flights to snowy Iowa this week! Grant traveled like a trooper and we are having a lot of fun with Grandpa & Grandma O and Great-Grandma Sophia. The blizzard-like conditions haven't dampened our Christmas spirits!

This was the high chair my brother and I used when we were little ones!

Bath Time

Grant has loved bath time since his very first bath, what a water baby!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Grant saw his first snowflakes today, mesmerizing some might call it! I couldn't resist but to bundle him up and take him outside to touch & feel them!

Getting ready to add layers...

7 month birthday

Happy 7 months Bud! Another month has come and gone...Christmas is just around the corner, what fun it is sure to be with you rolling around and jamming everything into your mouth!

Where are all of my presents?

Brrrrrrrr

Saturday morning was a beautiful, yet cold, winter morning! We endured the temperatures for a nice morning run with friends and Grant got to enjoy being bundled up in this adorable hand-me-down!! Thanks Donna :)

Reading?!

There are times when I just have to laugh....this afternoon was one of them. When Grant heard the camera clicking he looked at me and I'm positive he wanted to say, "What, didn't you know, I like to read Mom??"

TIMBER!!!!

Though we leave early for Grandpa & Grandma O's this year we couldn't do without a Christmas tree....thanks Honey, you're a good sport :+)

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

We spent a couple of days celebrating and giving thanks for all of our many blessings this year with Frank's family. Next year is sure to be more memorable for Grant as he will be able to join in on the feast Grandma Susan always prepares!

Who's the real turkey??

Grant told Grandpa he thought his daddy had already read him that issue of the Wall Street Journal...it seemed to be the same information about the stock market, the new president-elect, gas prices...
