HAPPY EASTER!!!

Happy Easter! Here are some pictures from Graham's egg hunt this morning, which was definitely his favorite part of the day. He also loved dying the eggs, but I didn't get any pictures since I was too focused on keeping dye out of my face (Graham insisted on dropping the eggs himself). He was excited about the few sweets in his basket as well, but he promptly forgot about them in lieu of his eggs. Mom and Dad will most likely enjoy the contents of his Easter basket and he will never know this difference... this year!

BASKETBALL

Whether it's soccer, baseball or basketball, Grahamy is quite a little ball player! He especially loves playing basketball on the big court with Daddy!!!


Here's how Daddy gets his real workout! Grahamy loves making shots into the Big Goal!!!


Taking a little break!
And, as if several hours on the court weren't enough, after dinner, it's basketball once again! Good game Grahamy!

MORE ODDS 'N ENDS...

Here are some pictures from our Saint Patty's Day parade! The clouds kept the crowds away, but the real rain didn't start until we were home again, so we really enjoyed the festivities!




Here's Graham typing on "his laptop" as he calls it. He has his own page on Word and experiments with letters and numbers from time to time.
Proud face!
Grahamy hasn't officially napped since around October and he is usually just fine without a nap, but sometimes a really exhausting day leaves him dragging by early afternoon...
His solution: He will take his Blankies into his room, turn his CD player on and crash on the floor during his "rest." Luckily, this only happens every so often because even a quick cat-nap on the floor makes it difficult for him to fall asleep at night.

Just recently, Scott and I started fishing through Graham's old baby stuff in preparation for Roo's arrival. We pulled the changing table out of the attic as well as several cartons. Graham has been helping us sort through the cartons and loves messing around with the baby gear.

COUSINS

Becca, Hannah and Callie Stage were here in the Carolinas for a week visiting Ganny and Gamps and they spent an entire day with us before heading back home. A lot has changed in the year since we last saw the Stages, but the kids are all still as cute as can be!
Grahamy was very shy around bubbly little Hannah, especially at first. It's a good thing she brought her own bike, because Grahamy was not fond of sharing his toys either. Too bad he's going to have his own brother or sister in a few short months!
Here's Scott introducing the kids to some Tennessee basketball...
Cute little Callie in one of Grahamy's old shirts!
Sweet sisters!!!


Hannah didn't stay on this slide for long because she liked the really BIG slide, but it's Grahamy's favorite because it's bumpy and rolly...

AROUND THE HOUSE LATELY

Grahamy just loves stickers!!! Though he's not allowed to put them on furniture, we do find them underfoot a lot...

And so thanks Nana, for this fabulous solution to the sticker mess! Grahamy loves his window stickers and now our house is much more festive. Here are some pictures of Grahamy decorating the window...

And here are some pictures of him moving the stickers around the next morning. We currently have stickers on about 5 different windows and he moves them daily...

NANA'S BIRTHDAY

We spent the weekend in Mars Hill and Hendersonville in order to celebrate Nana's birthday. Here are some pictures...

Grahamy loves to sit at the computer and "do letters and numbers." Sometimes he types actual words, but usually he just punches random letters and numbers. He gets very excited about his "books" when we print them out for him!

Playing with Nana in Hendersonville...


Graham loves to play with rocks and water at Ganny and Gamps's house.

Hugs goodbye
