Prayers for our Friends

I've shared with some of you, but our friends' daughter, Emma, passed away potentially due to the flu but nothing is sure right now. Our hearts ache for their loss. Please take a moment to pray for their family.

Baby's first cold

Well Gray, Kevin and I all had a lovely head cold together. A family that's sick together sticks together! (A classic quote from my dad, of course he added that it's true, literally. Gross.)

Gray and I are pretty much all better but poor Kevin is either on round 2 or just can't shake the first bout of it. 

Gray was quite a little trooper. He was pretty much happy throughout the whole thing except when I would suction his nose or if he got too tired at night. He was back to his normal growls, shrieks, and giggles today which was so nice to see.

My Little Bro's Wife-to-be

I know I mentioned it in an earlier post, but we finally got a picture of my brother and his fiancee, Lyndsey. They're planning to marry at my parent's house sometime in August followed by a bbq and party!

A Great Day on the Trail

We had another awesome walk today on the trail. It rained but the tree canopy is dense so we stayed pretty dry.

I forgot to snap a picture of Gray on his first day on the jogger but as you can see he's warm and snugly in there, pink nose and all.

I had to give up on his hat later on the walk because it kept twisting to the side and moving over his eyes. But he stayed really warm the whole time.

I love how the Chariot is gleaming. Maggie wasn't too happy about sitting on soggy, wet leaves though.

Just another nice bend in the road...

Aww, my husband rocks it!

And not just on Rock Band. My honey came home early to give me flowers, candy and a gift cards for Valentine's Day. We were sad he couldn't stay long as it's a school night but it was such a wonderful surprise. I love you Kevin!

Triathalon Baby!

Gray had his first ride in the Chariot Jogging stroller so we took our walk today through the woods. Maggie was thrilled as she usually gets to be off leash for the hour.

Then later in the day we went to Gold's Gym and had our first experience in the swimming pool. (In a salt-purified pool no less.) It was awesome! I think he really liked it but he should have had a nap before hand so when we tried to get dressed, he lost it. But we did make it out of the gym and home pretty much unscathed. Although, I'm exhausted from Gray's meltdown and from carrying him around in his car seat while the guy took me on a tour. Whew!

We'll definitely be doing more of both. And it was also a good day for mom because her bathing suit actually fits! Bring on the triathalons baby.

Snarky Face

I just had to share Gray's latest look, the "snarky face". He uses it on a regular basis to feign a tantrum. He even makes this little snorty-sucking noise while crinkling his nose. Doesn't work on me for a second.
