Best Husband Ever!

For those of you who know me well...ya know that I am definitely not a mushy person. I am not too big of a hugger and I don't write sentimental things on Christmas cards...but I do want to brag on my hubby a little bit and let him know how much I appreciate him and love him!

I have to admit that I have the best husband ever! He is always a big helper, but this past weekend he has gone above and beyond. I have been sick with a sinus infection and he has taken over everything with Grant letting me get much needed rest. I don't think I changed one diaper today! I know he is not feeling too well either (we probably have the same darn thing) but he will not admit it and continues to let me rest. I am so grateful! He has even continued painting our bedroom and bathroom in the evenings after Grant is asleep! He is quite a dad and Grant loves him to pieces. I do too!!!

Grant's 1st Birthday Party!!!

Well, this past year has definitely been an adventure! It has had its ups and downs but overall we have had a great time with our new family addition. Here are some pictures from his birthday party. We all had a great time and it was great to have the whole family together. We can't wait for what this next year has in store for us!

A rare event and horrible photography!

Today it snowed...in Houston!!! This is a pretty rare event. The last time it snowed we missed it because we were on our way to visit family Ohio, so it has been a pretty long time since I have seen snow in H-town. I think the time before the one I missed, I was a freshman in high school and our teacher--Mr. Trainer let us outside to look. It was a pretty big deal! A lot of my friends had never seen it before in real-life.
Since this is a pretty big event in Houston, I decided to take Grant's picture. I have no photography skill and no one was around to help me position Grant, so I consider myself lucky to get the few shots that I got. Eventually one of my teenage neighbors offered to take a picture of me and Grant. Not one of my best...but today is one of those days that I am a single parent since Kirk is at school, so I am not going to beat myself up about it. Enjoy and don't make fun of us Texans!!!
I almost forgot...the last picture is of Grant slowly falling over flat on his back. It was pretty hilarious! As you can see, his winter jacket is huge on him. It is 18 months, by the way, but it runs big and I ordered it online. It doesn't usually get cold until January over here...so I thought I would go for a larger size. Maybe it will fit him by March!!! :)
