week 1

So, the day we got home from the hospital Frank got sick, really, really sick. He had a fever for 6 days of over 101 degrees, he was, therefore, no help and didn't even hold Parker for 10 days for fear we would all get sick. Thank God Grandma R was able to help us out until my parents arrived and then thank God for my parents being here for so long or I may have lost my mind!!

Here everyone is, introducing Parker to a lot of his family for the first time

Only as big as a sheet of paper?!

Grant on his tricycle and FINALLY wearing his helmet! It only took us a couple of months to get him to wear it and then we actually have to thank his cousin Jake because the second Grant saw Jake with his helmet on he of course wanted to wear his too!

Why wouldn't you wear your helmet to pick blackberries?!
Up to no good with his cousin Francesca, they were both soaked when they were through!

This face is a Parker "look" I'm becoming familiar with and adore! Love those pursed lips :)

Cousin Olivia holding Parker for the first time and Grant couldn't resist either, what a snuggle bug he is!

Nothing like an old fashioned smoke-out, ha! The chicken still turned out despite our collective efforts!

Such an angel

Grant has taken a liking to corndogs recently. I particularly love this photo of those big brown eyes, who could say, "no" to those?!

Without a care in the world!
