Scoot Scoot

Today's adventure was scooting around backwards on the hardwood floors. Grant won't get up on his knees yet but he'll push up on his arms and work himself in circles backwards. We had fun slipping and sliding and scooting around...

Craziness on 24th St

Holy Moly it has been quite a morning. VP Cheney is on base today to celebrate the uncasing of colors (basically awelcome home speech) for 3 Corps. http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20080226006227&newsLang=en
They closed the main gate and 2 of the main roads on post from 7am-1pm today which means that the East Gate (literally one block from our front door) is the entrance and exit of choice for the entire base. So far I have seen 3 wrecks, which of course makes traffic that much more bearable, and I couldn't leave the driveway even if I wanted to. Grant has been up all morning thanks to the honking and sirens. Fun times at our place!

A Day in the Park

It was finally a warm AND sunny day here and we took advantage of it by heading out to the playground.
Swings and slides and monKey bars, oh my! Here is our little monKey in action...



yes, originally I was thinking faster than I could type and said "money bars".... no, I am not missing fort knox Aunt Terry... but thanks for being my spell check! :o)

New Kicks

Hi. I'm a stud and I have random men stopping me in stores asking where they can get shoes like mine. Pretty cool huh?!? Thats all, just had to share. Love, Grant

Refrigerator Art

We have our first materpiece by Grant and it is displayed proudly in le Gallery de Kitchen!

Plugging and Chugging

First of all I wanted to let you all know that Ray Fleig had his cranioplasti today in Maryland and we just got a short email from Tiffany's mom that he is out of surgery and things are loking good but we hope to have more details in the next few days. He is a strong, brave man and we've been amazed with his recovery.




We had a short but lovely visit from Geoff's parents for President's Day. Geoff had duty Saturday so we couldn't go far but managed to get some shopping in, took a tour of base, watched some Nascar, talked Army "shop" and got caught up on all the happenings back in Atlanta. We took advantage of the free babysitting and got out for a "date" to see Definately Maybe which was a much needed treat. I was under the weather and have since passed it on to Geoff but we had a fun weekend.

Theres not a whole lot going on this week, Kindermusik was cancelled :o( We're mostly waiting for the week to go by so Katie and Jim will be here to play! We've got to do as much entertaining as we can during these last few months... ((I apologize that there has been a lack of posts recently. I'm getting back on the perverbial ball today!)) Hope all is well with you all~

The Week Recap

Say "Hi" Grant!

We had a wonderful valentines with our little heart breaker, we was an esspecially big flirt on Thursday... its as if he already knows what Feb 14 means!

We got another tooth! The chompers are making quite an impact... he still wants to teeth on our fingers but we fight him off (it freakin HURTS)
He gets over it and settles on the weekly issue of People!

Grant also did his first load of laundry this week, he was very excited about the warm clothes to roll around in~

Hope you and your had a great week as well, now we're off to play with Grandmom and Granddad Childs!

The Look-alike Meter

One of the moms in our play group gave me this neat link and I just had to share

Take your Family to Work Day

Saturday was Family Day with 8-10 CAV so we packed up our things and road Army buses out to North Fort Hood to see Daddy out in the range doing his thing. Its so dry here that the range next to theirs had several fire so 8-10 was at a Stand Down for moost of the day but that okay because it means we got to play more! Here are pictures from the day: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8BZMmzJw5aNmu&notag=1

When Daddy plays

You NEVER know what is going to happen!

Home Improvements

While Geoff is away I will play... which of course means adding stuff to the house and since the new pictures just came in I thought it was time for a hallway make-over. Heres a shot of our new "gallery"

and while I was hammering away, the foreman was "overseeing"
