Great Grandma comes to KC

This week Great Grandma Helen is in town from Arizona, along with Great Aunt Lynda and cousin Rachel.   We are so excited to see them since it has been about 2 1/2 months since we were all in Michigan together.  James and I went over last night to visit and today the gang watched James from 9-3 while I was at work.  Todd joined us tonight for a yummy dinner of chicken, twice baked potatoes and apple pie!  Todd starts district tennis tomorrow and is hoping to get some players or the team to state!

Pumpkin Patch

After church this morning we met Jami, Andy and Morgan(James' BFF) at a pumpkin patch for a little photo shoot. We had so much fun and the kids did very well considering we had a wardrobe change half way through the shoot. James loved playing with the straw and thankfully didn't try to eat it! Check out our little pumpkin!

6 Months Old Today!!!

Today was a BIG day for James.  He is 6 months old!  He also attended a birthday party for his friend Norah that is turning 1!  He slept through most of the party, but was all smiles when he woke up.  James ended the day doing one of his favorite things, taking a bath!

let the blogging begin

I have always thought a blog would be fun, so here we go.  Everyone knows I'm not good at journalling so maybe I'll be a better blogger!

Last night during dinner James was a little cranky.  The past few weeks he has been happy playing with his toys and sitting in his highchair.  But last night he started throwing his toys on the floor and trying to grab Todd's plate so I we decided to see what he would do with a piece of broccoli.  He loved it and couldn't get enough.  We weren't sure if he swallowed anything, but from the looks of this mornings diaper he sure did!
