Can you hear me now?

Graham has perfected the art of talking on the phone. I have noooooooo idea where he picked up this skill ;-)

One year photo shoot

Last month, we revisited our friends Jessica and Nate over at Mod4. And let me just tell you -- these are THE BEST pictures they've produced yet! We are having such a hard time choosing which ones to order. Any votes or suggestions? Check out their work, their fabulousness speaks for itself!

Happy viewing! Can't wait to hear what you think :-)

Hope you like change....

....because we have A LOT of it!!!

The month of November was a crazy one for us. Graham broke Mommy's camera, and Mommy broke Mommy's laptop (both of which I'm happy to report have since been replaced, thus ushering me back into the blogosphere!). Then we got word that our offer on a shortsale house got accepted and we were moving in two weeks. And as if THAT wasn't enough to send our heads spiraling, we were hit with this news:



That's right, Baby #2 is due July 12, 2010. I've said it before and I'll say it again....

Chaos Is Our Normal!

One and done

Well, my baby is no longer a baby, he's officially a toddler! The little stinker went ahead and grew up, and turned one last week :-)

Unfortunately, I'm not able to blog on depth about it, or anything reallly, since I no longer have a camera. That, coupled with the demise of my laptop, making blogging near impossible (this update is coming from my cell phone!!!).

Thank you for reading our blog over the past 8 months, and please check back after Christmas, maybe Santa will help cure our unblogability!

Graham vs. The Oreo (Halloween edition)

What else can I say, apparently he IS MY son....... ;-)

I want to rock and roll all night, and POTTY every day!

Big, exciting news in our household. Huge, even! THIS has been part of the bedtime routine for the last few weeks :-)





I know it's early, and I know it's probably just the luck of good timing, but Graham's getting pretty good at this whole "pee-pee in the potty" thing. I've been sitting him on it in the mornings before changing into his school clothes, and at night, just before bath or PJ time. And usually (and by usually, I mean 90% of the time), he'll actually GO in the potty. We've even gotten lucky a few times during the day and he's actually done more than just pee-pee in the potty. But I didn't take pictures of that, because let's admit it, no one likes to look at their own turds, let alone someone else's, right?!?!?

Belated Ball Game

Ok, ok, I apologize for letting our blog die a slow, boring death. Admittedly, it's all my fault -- or, more accurately, all my thumb's fault. Not knowing my own strength, I decided to ram my thumb through the screen of my laptop, rendering it completely useless. And it's kind of hard to blog without a computer, so..... yeah, you got a whole whoppin' three posts in September. My apologies. I'm now coming at you from a super industrial-strenght, slower than molasses desktop, but hey, I hear these things are a bit harder to destruct, so here's hopin'.......

While the Tigers were making a run for the playoffs (before they blew it), we took Graham to his very first ball game at Comerica Park. He LOVED it! Despite the cold weather, the layers upon layers of clothing we bundled him up in, and the lateness of the evening, he was an angel, completely enthralled with the action, the people, and the lights. Unfortunately, the Tigers lost, thus dashing out hopes of some October ball, but we still had a great time, and cannot wait to bring Graham along to a few more games next year.

Seriously, have you ever seen anything more beautiful?

Ahhhh, there's no place like home!

I've waited my whole life to take a picture like this!

Freezing and tired, but still having fun!
