graham laughing

Graham laughing. We were watching world cup soccer, the USA game on Univision. Everything is in Spanish but we understand what is happening. He is super awesome!

collars popped

This is how graham and i went to target today...collars popped. I shopped while he flirted with 4 month old twins. We both had a good day!

vocal lessons

Adorable - both of them.

back to work

I start back to work today...tonight actually. Graham and I are hanging out during the day, and tonight, Brett and Graham get to hang out. We decided this would be best...it gives us both opportunity to spend some quality time with Graham and we each are still bringing home some bacon. I am part time right now...we will see how things progress before we make any other changes. I am excited and nervous and sad all at the same time. My role and responsibilities will change at work and I will be missing bedtime. But this is what is best for our family and I am glad we have the chance to keep Graham with us and not to send him to daycare. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we transition!

world cup

We went over to our friends house to watch the USA's first game...against England. Our friends Harvey, Julia, Ashton and Ethan have roots in England, so we had a good match up going. Harvey, Ashton and Ethan were for England, and Julia, Brett, Graham and myself were cheering for USA. We had a great time watching the game, both boys got to hold Graham and we even got our first laugh today! Graham was sitting in his chair relaxing and Ethan thought it would be fun to hide and scare him by yelling "Boo". I didn't think this would go well, but Graham thought it was great fun and rewarded us all with a huge smile followed by a laugh! He laughed several times and then both boys got into it, playing peek-a-boo with Graham. He loved it. It was so precious to see them all getting along together, even when their ages make it a challenge. Graham wore his onesie and looked super cute. We never made it into the soccer outfit, but we figure we have a month of games to play, so we have plenty of time.

All the boys...look at those legs!

nature...take two

We tried out Briar Bush Nature Center again today. This time we went with our favorite play date friends, Bron, Trey and Sage. Trey led the way through the trails and showed Graham and me the playscape area for kids. It was so neat! I can't wait until Graham can run through the tunnels and play in the creek. We also visited the pond to look at frogs. Graham saw his first frog today, two of them to be exact. He had a bottle there while looking up at the sky. He took a quick nap in the birdhouse and then we walked around some more. Overall, it was a great time, even if we had to leave because someone was no longer excited about nature! When we got home, I changed him and he was happy like a clam! I think he was done being carried around...he wanted to kick his legs. It was a gorgeous day!
Tomorrow is the World Cup game between USA and England. We are watching it with our friends who are from England! This is Graham's first World Cup. He even has a onesie to wear, thanks Rian and Laura, and a soccer outfit, thanks Grandpa Neal and Grandma Mary! Go USA!

3 gingers

Today, our super friend Thom was in town! He came by to meet the newest member of our family, and there were 3 red-headed men in our house! Graham loved Thom and we had a nice visit. The boys, minus Graham, are headed to the Phillies game. Good luck this weekend Thom, we hope you do awesome!
