First Official Post!

With so many things going on lately, I decided that it might be fun to share with our first family blog. :) Grayson is learning new things every day. Currently he loves playing with the halloween decoration that talks back to him. (It is supposed to be scary, but he thinks it is funny!) We are also fighting with him constantly about food. This is such a surprise because he used to love everything. I know deep down he really likes the food I slave over for him (haha) but he really just wants to be independant and get his own way... the little turkey. I wonder how he is still growing so well when I swear he only eats muffins, ham, yogurt, and plain bread. At his last doctors appointment he was still over the 97th percentile for height though so something is going right.

Over the past summer Eric and I traveled down to Jamaica for a destination wedding. About halfway through the trip I took a pregnancy test and we found out that Grayson is going to be a big brother! (Actually we took 2 just to be sure. Probably would have taken more but 2 was all I had packed!) Needless to say, the rum punch and late nights took a backseat pretty quickly. We tried to keep it underwraps and I ended up drinking virgin rum punch (aka punch) for the rest of the trip to keep up the facade of my old ways.

That was a while back and now I am already 4 months along and GROWING. My body is starting to carry this baby the same way as it did with Gray... out in front and huge. In only 2 weeks we get to find out if it is a boy or girl. We are truly just hoping for healthy. I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for a boy though and would love to see another baby wear some of those little outfits that I just packed up in storage bins in the garage today. We will see.

Other things coming up soon:

• Gray gets to go to the pumpkin patch on Monday
• Eric's 30th Birthday!! - Thursday, October 8th! YAY!
• Road trip to Kelowna - My Uncle Brad passed away on October 1st after a very long fight with Parkinsons. His service is the 10th but Gray and I are planning on carpooling up on Friday the 9th. It will be nice to see family. Unfortunate that we are getting together under the circumstances though.
• Eric's hunting trip - Let's hope that he can actually "catch" something this year... besides shooting a dart at an unlucky squirrel.
• Halloween - Gray is going to be a dragon. What should his parents be? Hmmmm
• My mom's 60th Birthday!!! Woah! :) - November 1st.

That is about all for now. Maybe I will take some new pics today so that I can upload them.
