KINDERGARTEN!!!

There are not adequate words to describe our excitement about how well Lily has adjusted to Kindergarten! For the past year she has said she refuses to go there..ever! Whenever we spoke about it or whenever we drove by which is multiple times a day! She told other people I was lying when I told them she was going to Kindergarten in ___ many days. We thought we were in for it. I was expecting tears until Christmas at the earliest. Then we went to Meet Your Teacher and her tune changed drastically!! To see more about her big day, check out this video of her Kindergarten experience! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CU-g7tW4-A&feature=youtu.be

Friends Forever

Sometimes they fight over a ball or "forget" to share the LeapPad and Grady still hits Lily, but there is sooooo much love and devotion between these 2 that makes my heart go pitter patter....

He (tries to) shows her the wild side and she (tries to ) shows him the calm side and together they are a perfect pair!

She's always asking for hugs and kisses and pouts like a mo-foe if he turns her away...he senses that and comes running a mile away almost bowling her over.  Rinse. Repeat.

the meaning of team....


more bowling for hugs.  (she falls 75% of the time he runs at her so fast)

Dan put Grady to work when he babysat to earn his keep.  Thanks Dan Dan!!

Shipping fees are priceless for his package.

I have a coupon disorder.  and am at peace with that.

lily starts soccer tomorrow and gpa has been out of town. ....i've missed them both a lot!!
life is good.

Grady is lazy bones when it comes to his shoes on and off...someone always caters to him so he's along for the free ride.
Somehow he became a swimmer this summer and it's like the angels in heaven are singing when I can relax a little pool side and watch them jump in and out 5,647 times!
he still loves standing on his head. daily.

Book Lovin' G

Grady is (majorly) obsessed with books.  Doesn't matter if the mail carrier was reading books to him, he would curl in his/her lap and settle in....I think he prefers David in the end.
