Wedding weekend!!

Last weekend, we traveled to Ft. Wayne for my sister in law's ( John's sister) wedding. It was such a gorgeous wedding and we were so excited to be a part of Sarah's special day. We enjoyed the weekend get away and enjoyed checking out Ft. Wayne. Graham was such a trooper through out the weekend! It was alot of late nights/ early mornings/ short naps, ect, but he really did so so well. Everyone loved him :). I didn't get to take very many pictures at all due to leaving my camera at the hotel, so I'm anxious to see the photographers pics. Here are a few shots from the weekend (sorry @ the quality...these are from my iphone)!! Congrats to Sarah & Jared!!! Marriage is such a gift, such a true blessing to be married to your best friend!!!

It's Football season!!!

Last weekend, John, Graham and I headed to the Notre Dame bookstore to pick out our apparel for the 2010 football season!! It was a gorgeous day, so we went for a walk on the campus and then ended up playing in the grass with Graham. He loved it!!!! John and I are HUGE ND football fans, and are eager for the first opener. Coach Kelly appears to be a excellent coach and I bet the Irish will have a great year.
I LOVE doing family outings like this. It makes me appreciate John and Graham so much and I love the memories we create together. Aren't my boys so cute??? :).

Ten Months!

As each month comes and goes, I am amazed at how fast life truly goes! My sweet little baby boy is ten months old!!! I love you so so much Graham Andrew!! You truly light up our lives. At ten months old, you are SO entertaining and you make your daddy and I laugh so much. At ten months, you started clapping!! You get so excited when we start clapping and you start clapping as well. We got you a little toy walker and you LOVE it! You love pushing that around. You have just started to stand on your own for a couple seconds. We will keep working on that! You really love it when we read to you. Your favorite book right now is, "God made Music". Everyone that sees you always compliments us on how adorable you are. You truly are such a handsome lil baby :).
You have definitely hit the stage of where you only want your momma :). I love it.
We have started going on more play dates lately, which has been really good for you. You love the social interaction! You are still putting everything in your mouth and I am constantly scanning the house to make sure their is nothing that will hurt you! You love your daddy so so much! You and I will be playing together on the floor, and when you hear the keys in the door, you stop what you are doing, look up and start crawling to the door. You know your daddy is home and you crawl so fast to see him!! Your face lights up when he sees you and you are as happy as can be when he picks you up and says, "there's my boy!!".
You still love bath time!! I think you are getting ready to be done with your baby bath tub. You just want to stand in it and turn around and play with the sides of the big bath tub :).
Something you strongly dislike : YOUR CAR SEAT. Holy moly. It is a tough workout to get you in there these days. You definitely put up a fight and throw a tantrum. You will get a new car seat though so so soon and in two months, you will get to face the other way! Hang in there lil buddy!!
Another dislike: You getting your diaper changed. Seriously Graham....it's a necessary part of life, so just bear through it. Please!??
You got your top two front teeth this month!!! You were such a trooper through it all!!! You look toooo cute with your top teeth in. Grand total of 4 teeth now!!!
We love you so so much sweet Graham. You make our lives so so fun. We can't imagine life with out you!!! You are everything that we could have ever hoped for and MORE!!!!!!!!! Happy ten months sweet boy!!!
Love,
momma :).

Skinny Jeans

So I finally gave in to the fad of skinny jeans. I think I'm about two years late on this one, but for so long, I did NOT like the way they looked on me. A few months ago, we visited our friends in Indianapolis. We did lots of shopping there and my friend Kelly suggested I try a pair of skinny jeans on. To my surprise, I really did like them!!! I ended up buying a pair, but I've only wore them a few times. They are growing on me more and more, and I'm guessing once fall/winter comes, you will see me sporting them with some super cute boots :).
