AIRPORT INTRODUCTION

Aunt Nan, Uncle Paul and Cousin Maddy arrived at the Charlotte airport on Friday afternoon and we all had an airport rendezvous before Gamps whisked them off to Hendersonville. Jamie was a bit groggy from his first vaccines, but he was still thrilled to meet his extended family! And Grahamy was overjoyed at the chance to hang out with cousin Maddy for a bit, especially since she had her violin in tow and played a few chords for him while we were standing around. Now he just can't stop talking about Maddy and her violin!!!


Jamie loving on his Aunt Nan!



Maddy is quite the musician!!!
Grahamy watching Maddy play -- he's mesmerized!!!

Sweet boy -- ready for bed!

BIG BOY GRAHAMY!!! Graham is now 90% potty-trained (still wearing pull-ups at night), and about to start pre-school twice a week for 3 1/2 hours. He is such a joy!!!

RAPTOR CENTER AND A FEW EXTRAS

We're trying to do one thing as a family each week and then we each take a boy for some little one-on-one time each week as well. Here are some pictures from this past week's family outing to the Raptor Center. As you might guess, Graham chose the location...
Reading about the Eastern Screech Owl...
Both boys, a snack break and our monster stroller...
Clapping for one of the birds...
Roo slumping a little without his infant car seat (we couldn't stand the thought of the extra weight)...
And sleeping nonetheless...
Graham's snack break...
Hmmm...
One little bird lover!!!

A game of hide-and-seek...

Who looks tired in this picture???

8 weeks old!!!
Already a little ham!
No one makes Jamie light up like his big brother...


Don't waste your money on cheap potty seats, especially when you have a little boy! We love the Baby Bjorn potty seat!
And here are a few shots of Graham at his gym class before all the other kids show up and the place gets wild...


What's so great about this tummy time?

Just past 7 weeks in this picture. What a handsome boy!
Here's Daddy trying to do some tummy time with Jamie...
But, even though the boys are now getting along REALLY well, Grahamy still claims Daddy's lap!
Oops, where's Jamie?


With potty-training in full force, Jamie is entertaining himself some these days...
And luckily, he's just the sweetest, happiest baby!!!


Grahamy and Daddy at Graham's pre-school picnic this past week. I didn't get any pictures of the kids playing after dinner because I was on "Roo duty," but Graham even met some of the kids who will be in his class.
