Sick, Sick, Sick

Unfortunately all 4 of us have been sick over the course of the past 2 weeks.  Grant and I were the first to get the bug and are pretty much all healthy now.  Lara and Grace got sick a bit later and are still fighting it but getting better by the day.  Here are some of my favorite pics from our sick 2 weeks.

Aside from her cold, Gracie is doing great.  She is sleeping good, eating good, and is quite alert.

A sick Gracie

Since Grant has been sick he has spent a little more time than usual in front of the tv.

He is still such a great big brother.

Here he is giving Grace her beddy (made by Aunt Jenny) for the first time.  After giving it to her he went and got his beddy and exclaimed,"I love it, I love it, I love MY beddy."  He definitely does love his beddy which was also made by Aunt Jenny.

Here he is with a couple of his buddies.  And yes, we are aware that our boy needs a haircut. 

This is our first family "hike".  Not much of a hike as we barely made it off of the blacktop but fun nonetheless.  

    

Lastly, just a few pics of Gracie and me.  In the one you get a much better idea of her size.

Full Week Home!

Here are a few pics from around our house this past week.  Grant is really loving his little sister and always wants to kiss her.  Gracie is eating great and putting on weight.  Grant got a little sick this week and just couldn't sleep last night.  He kept saying, "Daddy, turn up the heat....it's sooooo cold!"  Eventually I went upstairs and laid in bed with him.  Today he is feeling much better and went straight to bed on his own.  Gracie got spoiled and slept in bed with us her first few nights home from the hospital but last night spent the night in her crib.  She is a pretty good sleeper and often sleeps 3 or 4 hours straight at night.

 

Bath Time...of course big brother wanted to help.

Here is a cute one of Grant playing trains with Grace.

Lara and I haven't been the only ones excited to take pictures of our little girl.

 

Unfortunately he outgrew our little Sony Cybershot pretty quick.

We also had more excitement at our house this week because it was Lara's Birthday!

Our Little Girl

Today we made it back home and I thought I would just throw up a few pics from the past 4 days.  Both Lara and Grace are doing great.  We are enjoying every minute with our precious little girl.

Grant loves his little sister and will tell you so if you ask him.  When Grace started to cry for the first time Grant got quite upset and started to cry himself.  After calming down he said,"she needs a blanket".  Lara and I think he is going to be an amazing big brother. He was happy to have her home today.
