A Two Wheeler!

Grant learned to ride a two wheeler over the weekend! In the picture you might notice the theraband (giant rubber band that I use for physical therapy) tied around Grant's chest. Jim ran behind Grant and used the theraband to steady him. He's not ready to ride on his own yet but it won't be long. He is beaming with pride.

Picture Day

I had their pictures professionally taken today. I had fun sneaking behind the photographer to steal a couple of shots.

Cider Mill

We took our first trip to the cider mill the other day. Lindsay started the tradition with Grant while I was on bedrest with Kate. He seriously asks all year round when he can go back to the cider mill.

Grant's med update

We held our breath (pun intended) as we started Grant's steroid inhaler last week because of the start of preschool. He hasn't been on it since the spring and has no "hot tummy" complaints all summer. Within two days of starting it he started complaining about his tummy again! So, we went to the pulmonolgist yesterday and he switched him to a different inhaler. It is still a steroid inhaler (flovent) but he said switching it up might help. Please pray that he tolerates it well and stays healthy this year!

1st Day of Preschool

What I got out of them on the drive home:
-We want to stay all day so you can work cooking and cleaning.
-We learned about the letter A.
-The kids tapped me on the shoulder and ran away. This is teasing, I think. (Grant)
-The teacher made me go potty even when I didn't have to so I cried. (Kate)
-We watched a spooky movie?!
-We had crackers for snack.
-We played together at recess.
-I want to go back tomorrow, unless dad will be home from work.

Gotta love 'em.

Quoting Scripture

Lately Jim as been taking Grant to a park to run sprints with him in the evenings. Jim let Grant win a couple of times so he's been bragging that he's faster than dad. So, the other day...
Grant: Mom, did you know I'm faster than dad? I'm as fast as lighting. I beat dad by a mile.
Me: I'll believe it when I see it.
Grant: Mom, Jesus says, "blessed are those who believe without seeing."
