Keeping up...

So I'm not going to lie.  Keeping up this blog is not going well.  I have the best intentions to update every other week (I even set an event on my phone so it reminds me every other Thursday).  It just doesn't happen.  I'm busy/lazy and there's so many other ways to share photos and stories with you all.  Regardless I will keep trying.  It's as much for me as anyone else and I am so glad I documented Grant's first year so well.  It has been so helpful to have that info to look at for Parker's sake...when did I start solids, what did he like, when did he start crawling/walking/all that jazz.  Also Grant absolutely loves looking through the hardcover book I made him of all of his first year blog posts.  Poor Parker's book will have about 12 pages!  So let's get on with it...

Things have calmed down a little bit now that the school year is in full swing.  We all have a routine in the mornings and I know what Grant needs when I pick him up (pee, hand wipe, snack).  That's not to say things don't get a little crazy.  They totally do.  And for those of you who have been at my house between 5-6 it is still crazytown.  Also this daylight savings time really threw us for a loop!  Everyone has been getting up earlier and going to sleep earlier.  Plus our park time has been short because it starts getting dark so early.  Here are some pictures (plus the Halloween ones everyone has seen) of the things we have done...
