Myrtle Beach 2015: Grant's First Beach Trip

Grant LOVES the beach! When we first went out this morning, there was a long two-inch puddle by a sand bar. He loved it! Later, when the tide came in and the water was deeper, he still loved it! I think I'll have an early swimmer!

Grace loves it, too - especially digging holes. She also loves the mini lazy river at our hotel.

If you're wondering why Archie isn't in our family picture, he's at his first sleep-away camp in North Carolina. He started having fun as soon as we arrived, and we anticipate that continuing all week. Here he is at the putt-putt course. He has a buddy from Maryland with him.

It's a Hard Knock Life!

Archie and Grace have been enjoying ice skating lessons. (Archie's only taken seven; Grace had a few more.) They did super in their first recital. My favorite part is when they skate together in the middle.

Smash the Cake, Grant!

Thanks to our many friends and family who came out to share this special moment with us!

I posted the short version of the video. He actually spent about five minutes picking each candy confetti piece off the cake, examining it, and putting it aside. Then, he sampled icing off a fork for several minutes. Finally, he went hog wild with the cake smashing. Go, Grant!

Happy Birthday, Daddy! You Are Speshiel!

The kids went all out for Hunter's birthday today. They taped little letters and surprises to the front door. Best of all, Grace decorated the driveway. "You are speshel to me Daddy" Best of all, she told me she had to write that instead of "Happy Birthday" because she didn't know how to spell Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Resurrection Day: From Our Family to Yours!

Baby's First Easter

Crazy, Crazy Hair Night!

It only comes once a year, but Archie likes to celebrate in style! What? You may ask.

Crazy Hair Night at AWANA Club. I think this was his craziest style yet.
