The Fish Tank

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever." 1 Chronicles 16:34 Dear Grady~ Seven months have quickly come and gone. I cannot believe that seven months of your life passed by so fast. I feel like it should still be April with us still trying to get to know each other. Yet you keep growing each and every day astonishing us with your development and sweet spirit. You are one very special and unique little boy. Your hair is quite fuzzy growing in a crazy spikey fashion with a strawberry blond color. One tooth has made its debut on the bottom. Teething didn't seem to bother you one bit. One morning you woke up and poof, there was the little pearly white tooth. You LOVE getting up on all fours rocking back and forth taking a few crawls here and there. Daddy and I keep encouraging you to go but I think we are going to regret that later. You are all smiles laughing and cooing all the time. You say dada, baba, and blah. No mama yet but we are working on it...

The Fish family has had a lot going on this month! I can hardly keep up! Grady was dedicated at the beginning of the month, the boys and I saw some dinosaurs, we hopped a plain to California to see my mom, sister, and her family, enjoyed a gorgeous day at the aboretum, had a fabulous Thanksgiving feast with the Fish family and the Bullards, and Grady turned 7 months, got a tooth, and started crawling! Whew! I am going to post in stages because it takes so long to upload pictures. Below is our visit to the Halls and Grady's dedication. More to come! I am not exaggerating when I say that the boys and I had the most amazing time at my sister's! Jackson was out-of-his-body excited to see his cousins. I don't think I saw him but for meals when we were at my sister's house. Joshua was his buddy and really took Jack under his wing. My sister and brother-in-law have done the most incredible job raising some fabulous children. I cannot brag about them enough! The kindness, love,...

I absolutely LOVE this time of year! Love it! The trees are gorgeous and the weather is getting cooler. I love being outside and enjoying the beauty of the season. Sunday afternoon was so beautiful. Scott, Jack, Grady, and I decided to get out of the house and head to the park. Scott took off on his bike chasing Jack in his tractor, while Grady and I strolled along with the jogger stroller. Of course I had to bring my camera. The kids were a little frumpy but the trees and background was gorgeous! I am breathing this all in because I know we are going to be in the 40's before we know it!
