Army baby boom

I couldn't help but get a smile on my face when I saw this article:

The many faces of Grant

Here is a compilation of pictures from Grant. I just figured out the continuous snap setting on my camera so I was attempting to capture how many faces he makes in one minute... http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8BZMmzJw5aNT2&notag=1

Please pray...

Geoff and I heard some terrible news today.... Ray Fleig (of Tiffany and Ray: our first Army friends in Kentucky) was hit by indirect fire while deployed. He was going tent to tent after an attack checking to make sure that people were okay when he was hit, he was doing his job but also looking out for others. He has lost his right eye and they don't know the extent to which he'll have brain damage. Tiffany is expecting their first child, a little girl due in November. This one hit really close to home, our first army friends suffering and going through so much. Please pray for Ray, that his injuries are manageable, for Tiffany that she can remain strong and for their little girl that she'll be easy on her momma and not add more stress. They are certainly in our hearts and prayers...

I can't believe it!

(YYIIPPEEEEEE - shaking my fists in excitement)

One heck of a dream...

I just had to share pictures of Grant from his nap today... especially his turtle face (upper left) he gets his lips pursed so tight I swear hes gonna whistle before he learns to talk. That and he is already pondering the fate of the world (upper right)... Oh Grant, you certainly make us laugh!

Rubber ducky, you're the one

Okay, its a little strange but I think I can handle this whole bath thing~

Umm, maybe not... I don't like wet diapers so I'm not sure about this...

Nope, get me outta here, how do I get off of this duck? I want my clothes back, please, why aren't you listening to me, NO MORE WATER!

an ode to the Leonhards

I made them miss your wedding, we heard it was a lot of fun; They sure would have liked to be there, playing out in the sun; Thanks for the fun package, I'll be quite the little sports man; but everyone has to play nice cuz I'm third Panther, third Falcon, third Bills fan!

Innie or Outtie

Its a bittersweet day... Grant is no longer a newborn! :o( At the last diaper change he stretched really big and the last strand that was holding on his umbilical stump broke loose (as did Momma)... So sobbing I called Geoff, who has been in the field since last week, took some pictures and realized that this whole thing is moving ENTIRELY TOO FAST! Here are some other pictures from Grant's third week in this big ole world: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8BZMmzJw5aNSQ&notag=1
