JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING...

WE DID GO TO FRANCE!

Happy Times!

Grant is such a happy baby!  He squeals and laughs all the time. It is so fun to play with him.

Best Kisses Ever

These were probably the best baby kisses that I have ever got.  Grant is so awesome!

Summer Adventure

We have just embarked on a whole new adventure...but not together.  Bill is spending his summer in Wisconsin doing an internship with Bemis, while I am staying in Minneapolis and trying the "single working mother" life for a while.  It is going to be tough, but hopefully we will still have time for fun stuff...like baby surfing!

I have a great life.

I just got done with a run with li'l Grant.

Then I get home and Steph agrees to cut my hair.

"Are you sure Bill? Your hair is not that long"

I explain that I have supernaturally pouffy hair.

Steph forgets this because she just looks into my sexy blue eyes.

I imagine that scenes like this are happening all across the United States of America everywhere.

But I am living the dream.

"You made a baby hat"

Bill accidentally put my winter wool hat through the washer and dryer. Really it was my fault for letting my hat get mixed in with the dirty laundry. I pulled it out of the dryer and was pretty disappointed that it didn't fit anymore. That is, till I discovered that the hat will work perfectly for Grant! I called Bill up and happily announced that he had made a baby hat!

For Mom

I had to post some pictures for my mom. Grant is just growing too fast! He is turning out to be quite the chunker too! Love you mom!

Bad boys...

We are pulling these bad boys out again! But this time in France!

Yep, that's right, France! This summer we will be riding through France with our friends Randy, Chrissy and James. We are more excited than words can say. Bill and I have been wanting to do this for so long. It is going to be incredible!

Now if only winter would end so we can get in shape and practice hauling a baby around in a bike trailer.

Red hair?

I snapped some pictures of Grant the other day. Noticed two things...

First, he looks way cuter with a mo-hawk.

Second, I think he has red hair.

What do you think?

Visitors from Nuevo Mexico

Bill's parents came to visit this weekend. From the picture you might think we live in The Frozen Tundra! (oh wait...we do!) They were all bundled up so they could walk to the light-rail station (5 blocks away) and go to the airport.

It was so nice having them here for a couple days. Please come again soon!

4:00 in the morning

It is 4 something in the morning... I have been awake since 3:00 something when Grant woke up to eat. After eating, he decided to stay awake...I tried bouncing him, rocking him, and nursing him back to sleep with no success. Apparently he is just not tired! He is still awake and so am I.

This is not the first time this has happened. In fact, I have been using these late night hours to do productive things on the computer, like checking emails, catching up on the news, watching my favorite tv shows and now blogging.

I don't know why I think posting a blog in my current state is a good idea. I am so tired that I can't even think of anything good to write about...

So now I have to apologize to everyone still reading this post who thought there might be a punch line or a moral to the story. There is not. Sorry. This is the end of the post. But if it is any consolation, I have included a cute picture of Grant at church last Sunday.

Couples Retreat to the Cabin

We had another great trip to the Cabin! The weather was good, snow was plentiful, food was delicious! Thank you to the Kannas' for the use of your Cabin! And thank you to all our friends that were able to go...we had a great time!

Here are some of the highlights:

The frost

The babies

The game

The cake

Grant is absolutely amazing! He even came with hair for a great mo-hawk (I will post pictures of it soon). Everyday he creates a new adventure for us. We love him tremendously!
