New Set of Wheels

...just a teaser as I work on the real birthday post...

Its BEAUTIFUL here today so Grant and I snuck out during Carter's nap to break in his new set of wheels!

He was so proud of himself!

I was proud of myself because Patty and I put the bike together and it didn't fall apart!

Is it just me or does this make you instantly flash forward 12 years to when he's behind the wheel of a completely scary 4 wheel drive vehicle?!?!

stop time please

our baby boy is no baby or toddler any more, and it breaks my heart and makes it sing all at the same time!

Happy Camper

I can hardly believe it... GRANT IS A CAMPER

Today was Grant's first day of camp at Vacation Bible School, the same VBS that I went to as a kid.

You had to be 4 by that start of camp so need less to say, he is the baby of the baby 4 year old group but seemed to just roll along with whatever was going on.

I didn't want to be THAT mom that stood around watching to make sure he did okay so I snapped this quick picture at check-in of him sitting with his group, washing hands off. (he's in the orange) I know I'll get more throughout the week but I just had to share.

--and yes, birthday pictures are coming, I am working arts&crafts at the camp so this momma is pooped and its only day one!

Shopping Just Got A Lot Easier

A new Food Lion opened up right by our house and I have to say that between to the new clean carts and the fact that I actually have room in the cart now that Carter can sit up (as compared to this) grocery shopping was actually, dare I say it, fun!
