Happy 1st Birthday James!!!



My sister Linda's little boy James had his first birthday about a week ago. (I am a horrible aunt...because I do not remember the exact date...) Anyway, he had a nice little party and Grant was really well-behaved. Grant really enjoyed playing with some new toys and hanging out with his cousins. This is Grant with cousin Jack.


Isa had her 3rd birthday this month...but we have no pictures of this party since Grant was sick and could not attend. We did not want to contaminate all the other children.

Grant is 8 months!




Grant is 8 months old! It is amazing how fast the time goes by!
Big news...
1. Grant is almost crawling! He can definitely move across a room with his fast army crawl...but he is now almost moving with his stomach off the ground. This is a big accomplishment for a chunky baby like him. :)
2. Grant has started day care. The first day was kind of rough...but he seems to be getting used to the routine.
3. He has 4 teeth. Two on the bottom and two on the top. The 2 on the top are not the middle ones, though. He has fangs!
4. He loves to play with water bottles.
5. He is fitting snuggly in his 12 month clothes.

Day at Mimi's and Papo's



On Friday my sister April and her two kids came over to my parents' house to visit. It was pretty nice since I haven't seen her son Jack in a while. He is only 2 weeks younger than Grant, so it is nice to see their differences and similarities.




Later we all went out on the trampoline to see if the kids liked jumping. It seems they all did!

Kirk's first day of school!!!


Well...Monday was Kirk's first day of classes at Rice for his MBA. Twenty-two months later, he should be done. Here is a picture of Kirk getting his gear ready the night before.

He finally came home last night after working on a group project until midnight. This made me a little nervous since at that time Tropical Strom Edouard was heading directly our way. Luckily...his classes are canceled today and work is canceled for me as well. Yea!!!! Also...luckily...the storm ended up going north of us and has not caused much disruption.
