Happy 3rd Birthday!

Today our little guy is 3 years old! Adam is way into Jake and the Neverland pirates, so his sister bought him a cool spyglass, hook, map, sword and treasure chest. I couldn't tell who was more excited by the gift. He was thrilled to be getting presents from his friends today, because according to him, "all of them would be for me." Jackie made Adam a shark birthday cake and tonight he is having brownies that we already sampled last night. (Who can pass up warm brownies- right?!)

Happy Birthday Adam!

100 miles pregnant

Today I finished what I'm pretty sure will be my last run while pregnant. Together baby and I have logged around 100 miles. The combination of little daylight and frosty weather would force me inside. I can't make myself log the miles on a treadmill because running pregnant is already challenging. Funny that my growing belly is the least of my concerns. My goal was to make it to 20 weeks and I did it. Check in with me in June to see if I'm back at it.

Everyday Looks

Check out Elizabeth's outfit that she wore to daycare today. Doesn't every 5 year old wear sparkly tank tops and scarfs in their hair? I am guilty because I bought the tank for her, but I was hopeful she would wear it under a hoodie. When I explained that this morning, she looked at me like I was crazy. Why would you cover up that sparkle?

Gotta love this girls fashion sense.

The BIG news

Elizabeth and Adam are happy to announce that they will be big siblings in April. The Grant house is going to get even more chaotic.

Happy 5th Birthday Elizabeth!

Today Elizabeth is 5 years old! The excitment of her birthday started at the beginning of November with the birthday countdown. Today Jackie put together a fantastic party with friends. Elizabeth got to dictate the order of activites: presents, cake, and surprise activity. The mermaid cake made by Jackie was amazing. The surprise activity was getting to play with a box full of Barbies and accessories. Talk about a 5 year old dream!

We are having a family dinner tonight and then a joint party on Saturday. The birthday celebrating will continue for days.

Happy 5th birthday little girl!

Adam talks girlfriends at daycare

This excerpt below is from Adam and Elizabeth's daycare provider Jackie. The other kids referenced are girls who attend the daycare as well. I think I can speak for Sam at this point when I say that these are probably some of the only girlfriends we will approve of for Adam!

Adam to Jackie, pointing to Claire up on the climber outside: "Jackie,see that ‘gurl’ up there? She is one of my gurl friends. You know what gurl friends like to do? They love to kiss and hug you all the time! " Claire slides down and runs to Adam and squeezes his face in her hands, both laughing. "Just like that Jackie!" A few minutes later, "Jackie you are my gurlfriend too." Jackie, "How many girlfriends do you have Adam?" Adam holding up his fingers and naming them on each finger, "I have Claire, Norah, me, Elizabeth, and you. I have four girlfriends!"
