Crackers

I wanted to share a moment from our dinner table last night...
and record it for myself before it flies out of my brain.
After dinner, I offered Evan some graham crackers.
We haven't had them for a while, so I told Evan they were
graham crackers. We have a friend named Graham that
Evan just adores. He looked at the cracker for awhile and asked,
"Gam?" (Translation... Graham?). Then I said, well, yes its a
graham cracker. He looked long and hard at that cracker, and
after a thoughtful pause he said decisively, "Evan cracker".

Love it.

In other news,
Sam is doing two really super things... sleeping from
about 10 to 5 (yay!) and smiling!
It is so much fun to see a smile creep across his little lips
then burst into a big open mouthed grin!
His whole face lights up.
I hope to catch a picture of that very soon!
Go Sam Go!

Family Visit

A few weekends ago we had the privilege of
visiting with family from the Grayson side.
Here is my Aunt Cathy and Grandmother.
Sam was a huge grandmother fan!

Evan was a huge granddaddy fan!
Driving home from time with them Evan
kept saying from the backseat..."cute, cute"
just talking to himself. When I asked him who
was cute he said, "granddaddy cute!"
Here's Granddaddy... I agree! He is cute!
He is so special to us. Sam's middle name is
James after Granddaddy.

Reading with my mom.

Cuddling more with Grandmother.

We had a great time with everyone! I wish we could
visit like this more often!

Hello, my name is...

Sam!

1st commercial

Here is Evan in his first ever commercial!
My friend made this cute shirt for him for his
birthday, and here he is modeling it on her site.
While you're there check out her fun stuff!

Honestly!

Okay, folks... I am really trying to get our pictures
on the blog updated. But HONESTLY! Why is
this so hard!?!

Stay tuned. One of these days we'll get a good shot.

(Okay, this was one of the worst ones we took,
but it is funny trying so hard(!) to get a good picture, or
decent picture of all of us!)

Found a peanut...

Look at these two peanuts!
Another Upton and Schmidt special!
Double peanuts just busy growing away.
E was too busy growing to open her eyes for the picture.
Who can blame her really?

Elizabeth was born on Sam's due date, so
they are just about the same age.
Enjoy pictures of these newbies doing what they do best!
