Update on Grant's Ears.....

Ok, we had our second visit with the ENT in Austin today and Grant has another double ear infection!!! This makes it her fourth confirmed infection in her almost 5 month old life. The Dr says he really likes to try to wait until the babies are 6 months to do the tubes but, he doesn't want to wait with her. So, Grant will have tubes put in bright and early Friday morning. Hopefully, this will help her and we won't have to fight this infection anymore!

Grant's first solid food

I was trying to hold out until Grant was 6 months old to start solids but she was showing signs that she was ready. So....we set her up in her highchair and fed her rice cereal for the first time. She wasn't sure what to do with it at first but was opening her mouth for the spoon like a little bird in no time. I still can't believe how quickly she's grown!

Sea World....take 2

Last week was spring break for David's school and we decided to go to Sea World for Daddy's day off. It was crazy! It was opening day and Daddy and David waited in line for 1 hour and 45 minutes just for the log ride! It was worth it though for David to have that memory with his Daddy. We were there from 11am to 6pm and we saw 1 show, did 1 ride and had lunch....the rest of the time was spent waiting.....it was well worth it. We had a great family day!

Easter 2008

We had such a busy Easter. We went to several egg hunts and had dinner with friends. We even took time out to make some family pictures in our neighbor's yard before church. We were so happy to have Daddy in church with us- even though he had to go to work right after church- we'll take what we can get. I got to dress David and Grant alike for the first time and I was so proud of my precious babies! Happy Easter!

Enchanted Rock

I have always wanted to go to Enchanted Rock, which is only about 45 minutes from where we live. It is touted to be the Rock from which all of Texas was formed. It is a huge Rock mountain and we were well on our way to climbing to the top. However, I couldn't make it with baby in tow. My friend Becky joined us and we had a great time!

Made in Texas....

Well, although we are South Carolina by blood and rearing.....my baby girl is definitely "made in Texas" and "born in Texas". Anyone who knows Texans knows that this is no small thing...so, while I was pregnant with Grant, I purchased this shirt and she is proudly sporting it in this photo. I just had to share it before she is too big to wear it!

David's rendition of the Easter story

David has really been impressing me with his knowledge of the story of Jesus's death and resurrection. He was telling me the story tonight and I had to get this on film. This is dedicated to all of our family back in North and South Carolina. He particularly wanted to help cheer up Aunt Sharon as she faces her daily struggles and for Pop, as he faces his surgery on Tuesday. We love you all and pray that God will be with you, giving you strength and peace.
