Family Update

I thought I would give an update...although there is really no update per say. 

Grandma is holding steady, no change. She is a stubborn strong willed lady and we should have known this is how it would go...

Its hard waiting for someone to pass away. Hard. We are just thankful that she is in no pain and we are resting in that. 

Thank you all for the sweet emails, texts, phone calls and comments...I feel very loved. And I love knowing that you are praying for my grandma and my family. And yes, my mom is doing well. She's really tired but she is a tough lady...can't imagine where she gets that from. 

On other notes...

Jordan is coming to the end of his rope with kid games like Chutes and Ladders, Candyland and Dont Wake Hulk.

He pulled out the game of RISK. Uh, are you kidding, not a kid game. At all. 

But they had so much fun! 

And in this picture, Sully is winning. Not sure why he wasn't happier about that!

Then there is this little sweetie. She loves playing with dolls...she calls them, 'babes'. So precious. She sat and played with this doll and car seat for almost 30 minutes straight last night. 

And...

She's walking. 

She took her first steps 2 months ago and this week finally decided that walking should be her primary mode of transportation. 

And she looks incredibly chunky when she is fully upright...I think she needs the exercise! ;)

Also since she has a whole new level of sight she is bringing me all sorts of special treasures...like things stolen from the top of Lauren and Avery's bookshelf, a roll of paper towels and last night...the lid to the garbage can. Wonderful. 

We went out to Jen F's house for some Friday fun today. 

I so needed it. 

The weather was PERFECT. The mom's sat on the deck and tried to ignore the kids. 

They have the perfect play area! Far enough away that you can pretend you dont hear them calling your name, but close enough that you can get there when the screams get too loud! (ha!)

Sully is up top shooting at something.

Then after we told he and Clayton, "No more guns" they decided to take out their aggression on this tree.
