The human head weighs 8 pounds....

Does anyone else think Grant looks like the little boy from Jerry Macquire?  Especially when he puts on Papa Sammie's glasses. :)

Seriously.  How stinking cute is this kid!?

Jesus, we just want to thank you

Here is a small taste of how Regan's bedtime prayer went tonight:

Regan: "Thank you for Daddy and thank you for Nemo and thank you for Praise Baby and thank you for the Laurie Berkner band."

me (prompting): "...and thank you for Grant..."

Regan: "NO, Momma.  I not thank God for Grant because I have to say thank you for Veggie Tales."

Where does this kid come up with these things!?

And so it begins....

It seems that Grant has some aggression he's been needing to work through...

Contemplating his next move.

If all else fails, go for the hair.

Musician's Widow

Eric is at TMEA this week and he took the camera, so I've been taking pictures with my phone.  It's not a very easy task, especially with two very active children, but here are a few efforts.

Grant was trying to climb into the bathtub with Regan and thought it was so funny when I kept pulling him backwards.  Isn't his smile so stinking cute? (even past all the blur)

Regan and I made chocolate chip cookies for the kids' teachers at Mother's Day Out.  I put them in little snack baggies and then made their initials out of pipe cleaners.  I thought they turned out pretty well.  I am obviously not smart enough to think of doing that myself.  I saw the project on some blog, but I can't remember where or I would link you to it.
We even made some for our next door neighbors, the Lutyens.  (Yes, Jeremy and Jenny-Lynn, they are still alive!)

Big helpers

I have the best helpers when it comes to grocery shopping.  

Notice that Regan has her very own cart and man was she a woman driver!!!
Unfortunately, neither of them picked up the tab.

Question mark

Sorry, I can't think of a clever title.

So, a couple of weeks ago, Mom came into town while Dad flew out on business.  The kids and I took her home and then came back home a few days later.  Just as we were pulling into the driveway, Eric sat down to eat a piece of Papa Sammie's birthday cake.  He got distracted with us coming in and just left it on the end table, when who should happen upon it but our very own little busybody!!

He was so funny because you could tell he knew he wasn't supposed to be doing what he was doing, but he sure wasn't going to stop either.  He just kept shoveling cake into his mouth faster than he could chew!  If you notice, he's putting cake into his mouth and reaching for his next bite!

What a mess....
Here's Regan wearing the chef hat she made at Mother's Day Out.
Daddy and Grant (sporting his new 'do) at the Super Bowl party, or as Regan called it, "The Super Party"!!
I've been in the (never ending) process of switching the kids' clothes out for the next size and season up.  Regan is now in 3T clothes and Grant skipped 12 months and went straight to 18 months!!  Here they are riding in the bin of clothes turned choo-choo train.  Grant was too worried about falling over to look at the camera.
Regan's big cousins, Lindsey and Leah loaned us a ton of their spring clothes, and we are SO thankful!!!  These ladybug rain boots were in the pile and Regan has fallen in looooove with them.  She has worn them everywhere, which has made for some pretty interesting outfits.  She even threw a temper tantrum when I nixed the idea of her wearing them to Mother's Day Out.  They are about a size and a half too big, but she just loves clomping around in them.
