Happy Birthday Grace!

Grace turned four today.  Wow.  I can't believe that I am the mom of a preschooler!  Next year kindergarten.  Anyway...we had two small celebrations today.  Candles in the breakfast with a song from Mom and Dad, and cake at school.  We were going to have the "Friend" party this weekend, but due to the tropical low off the coast (CAN YOU SAY MESSY!!) we are postponing until next weekend.  We will still do the family party this Sunday with our surrogate Norfolk family.

Happy Birthday Princess Queen!!  We love you more than ever!!

Artist In Resident

Grace has really gotten into art lately. She loves to paint and draw. Playdough is lots of fun as well. Her drawings of people now have heads, bodies, legs, and arms. For those not in the early education field, this is a BIG deal! This is an example of the Playdough Art done at the island in the kitchen a few days ago.

How often does this really happen with all of you that have children???

On The Move

Walter is walking.  Last night he took four steps across the living room to Pop.  Tonight he kept walking back and forth to me and Lamar in the living room.  Good thing we have the gate.  He gets SO excited with himself.  He grins and screeches and walks.  Then he falls and claps.

Happy Birthday Baby Walter

Happy Birthday. Walter is one year old today. He was born at 6:19PM, so he has about two hours until his actual birth moment. I was telling Lamar this morning that it does not seem like he is a year old, but on the other hand, I can't remember our lives without him. He is such a joyful baby. Always laughing, giving hugs, and excited to see his mom and dad. He is in love with his big sister and follows her around everywhere she goes. He is still pulling up and cruising. He will stand on his own for a few seconds but hits the ground once he realizes that he is doing it. He is such a special boy and we love him very much.
