Rainy Day Blues

Aside from a Valentine's party with some of their friends, the boys, Graycen and I have spent many days in the house due to rainy weather and a couple weeks of a sickness that has made it's way through the family..............Thankfully all but Spencer are feeling much better - he was the last one to become sick and hopefully will be feeling better soon. Graycen is sitting on her own some these days, loving her fruits and veggies and giggling at her big brothers. She is really playing with her toys now, and gets very unhappy if you take one from her!

Graycen received her first flowers from her

biggest admirer, her Daddy, on Valentine's Day!

Here she is opening her first Valentine's gift....

One rainy day we decided to get out our easel, turn some

pillowcases into smocks and paint some masterpieces!

Can you believe it's February, already? Not much new to report on the home front...... Graycen is 7 months old now and almost sitting up. She continues to be a joy with her sweet little spirit. She is eating cereal and vegetables and is loving them.......here are a few pictures of her.

Connor and Spencer are just hilarious these days with their conversations with each other and with us.....I overheard this conversation the other day after they put a talking monkey they have to bed for a nap. Connor: "If he makes anymore noise, we'll have to give him a spanking," followed by Spencer: "Yeah, he better not get out of his bed again!" Wonder where they've heard that before? They love to sing songs, play with their hot wheels and play board games. We are starting to see their competitiveness coming out with the game-playing, though. They are taking a gymnastics class and are having a blast with it. Here are some pictures a friend of Ryan's took of the boys a few months ago......
