Dinner and a nap

Here's some pictures of Reed falling asleep during dinner. Reed and Daddy were having leftovers while mommy was volunteering. I love these pictures because it looks like he fell asleep while giving thanks for his dinner.

...."and Bless Mommy, and bless Daddy, and bless Gracie, and bless Ba, and bless Grampa Gary, and bless Grandma, and bless DeeDad, and bless aunt DeeTee, and bless Travis, and Uncle Michael, and bless Nama...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

The Amaryllis flowers have bloomed. In only three short months. Besides taking so long to bloom the other problem I have is that there are now too many fruit flies in the house. As pretty as the flowers are I am looking forward to moving the potted plant out of the house.

Triple Threat

Our favorite little boy is turning out to be what we call a triple threat. He can dance, sing, and has got the looks.

When he's not choreographing new moves to his "guitar" dance...

...he's experimenting with music composition and playing new instruments.

But whatever he's doing whether running around, riding his bike, or just having a good time he's always to cute for his own good.

"Miss you, Love You!" - Reed

Amazing Grace

Grace has added eating solid food along with her diet of mommy milk and she has been starting to get interested in what we are eating too. Its fun to see her develop and grow into a mini Reed. Her favorite toy on her baby Einstein was Reed's favorite as well.

Grace has also been taking to her doll that her great Nama gave to her. She's getting so alert and loves to listen to hear mommy and daddy sing or watch tv with Reed. She still hasn't really turned around on her own but she is definitely working on it.

Feeding the Ducks

It was time again to feed the ducks. We had been saving so much bread for the ducks, it was starting to get a bit ridiculous. Bad for the kitchen but good for the ducks. (Good for Reed too)


Here's a picture of Em and Gracie getting bundled up before going to feed the ducks.

Meanwhile at the pond...

Reed surveys the anxious ducks.

Reed shows off his potential to be a switch pitcher. Throwing lefty...

Throwing righty...

We had so much bread that the ducks actually lost interest. I had never seen that before.

But Reed knew exactly what to do. He wasn't going to let good iced cinnamin bread go to waste.

Grace wanted to get in on the action too but she is still working on both her throwing and her chewing technique.

Thick as thieves

Reed and Grace have been having a great time hanging out together. Grace just loves her brother and gives a big smile everytime he plays with her.

Reed knows just how to get her attention and loves being sweet to her by saying "Hi Gracie!" or helping mommy or daddy by getting her pacifier for her.

Reed's trying to help buckle Gracie up and attach her lanyard for her pacifier. This little invention is vital for being able to retrieve the pacifier while on the road. Also attaching the clip on her carseat is a challenge that Reed can't pass up.

 Concerned brother checking on his unhappy sister. Depsite Reed's superhuman powers of being able to ignore Grace's crying, Reed still shows compassion and concern for sister when she's upset.

Eric and Haley Visit

Reed and Grace had a visit from Eric and Haley on their way up to Tulsa in December. Any opportunity to open presents with toys was welcomed by Reed. Plus a visit from Cosmo and Cuda or "da puppies" is high on his list.

Reed of course took to Haley again right away as he does with any pretty girl that will dote on him.

He was about to give Uncle Eric a kiss too, but he wasn't so sure about the beard. So he stopped in his tracks and thought twice about it.

Its crazy bc it just seems like yesterday that Eric was holding Reed at about the same age.

Shortly after this picture Eric and Haley told us about their big plans to trek around the world for another adventure. They are braver than we are that's for sure!

We were able to take one of the few Family pics that we can take with three A.D.D. people in the family. Of course about seven pictures before this one had one of us turned and looking at each other laughing or blinking.

Reed knows who really should have won the National Championship. Three words, Two symbols

"Horns, Number 1"

Reed practicing letting everyone know which team he supports.

Reed talking to his girlfriend, Devanie. She is older than he is, but that doesn't stop him from calling :)

Reed is writing mommy notes in her "Bia-ble" (prounounced with his local accent)

Bathtime for the beautiful kids....
