Citadel Homecoming 2008

Daddy had his 15 year college reunion this year at the Citadel. He was so excited to go and participate in all of the events and see his buddies. We missed his 10 year because Little David had just been born. So, off we all went to Charleston to celebrate with Daddy. We had a wonderful time at the reunion party and even went to dinner with some friends while Nana was so gracious to stay in the hotel room with the children for us. We so rarely get out that when we got all dressed up to go out, Lil D said, "Mommy, is it your anniversary?" :)
We also had a great time showing David all around campus. We went in to the chapel where we were married, we visited Pop's tree and monument and the Star of the West monument with Daddy's name on it, visited the barracks where Daddy lived, went downtown to the market, visited Gaga and went to the football game. It was such a fun-filled weekend and Daddy was so proud to show off his family! Little David can't stop talking about the bagpipers and the summerall guards. Daddy taught him how to "brace" and how to stand with "cheerios" in his hands like the guards. Silly! What an awesome weekend for all of us!

Grant's 1st Birthday party

We had a great 1st Birthday party for Grant at home. We celebrated with family and friends and the kids had a blast! We had cupcakes galore and although they were not the most beautiful of cupcakes (Mommy made and decorated them) they were pretty tasty. I can hardly believe that Grant is 1 now. She loved her cake and enjoyed playing with the other children. She was sacked out by 6:00! Grant is walking, babbling and has 5 teeth and is working on breaking out one of her back teeth now. She weighs almost 21 lbs and is so smiley all of the time. She always has her mouth open and is quite the little squealer! She is learning some signs so we can communicate without the piercing screams and is showing some progress. She loves dogs and every time we see one she starts to make a woof woof sound. Her hair is starting to fill in and I can get a bow in it now- but she pulls it out not long after I put it in. She is such a joy in our lives and we love our baby girl!

Watch me Grow.....One Year!

Grant is 1 today! I can hardly believe a year has passed. We are filled with joy when we think of all of the ways God has blessed our family! We are so lucky to have our miracle babies! We will have Grant's party on Sunday so I'll post pics from that later. I will post her stats from her 1 year check up next week. Happy Birthday Grant- we love you so much!

Halloween 2008

We had a wonderful time at the church Fall Festival last night! Donald, Kelsey, Reese, Rynn and Baby Raegan joined us for a super fun time. David decided to be Superman this year and has had so much fun wearing his suit with the huge muscles built in it around the house. We've been playing "Superman" around the house for weeks. Grant, bless her heart, had no say so in the matter and was a little elephant. She was so cute I just wanted to squeeze her! What a fun night!
